I was about to ask why he ruined a perfectly good Z3 M, and then I saw it was a 1.9L. Fake M ftl.

That said, why not drop a S50B32 in it? Much less difficult and expensive to do.

 

what's the S50B32?

 

Tee hee hee, I love it!
Less weight, better weight distribution, and lower cost vs. BMW engine, and over 315hp to the wheels possible on stock internals

 

I my sr20... but ls2.3.4.5 going in after the 4 cyl pops... cool swap

 

it's the BMW E36 M3 3.2 engine

 

when i was still in trade school i built one for a friend to drop in an s13 coupe, done all the work, we brought it to an engine dyno, ended up with 350+ at the crank with 10psi


back to topic: don't get me wrong, i like the z3 (from an enthusiast standpoint), i really like the idea of a z3 with an sr20
but personally, i think z3's are gayer the a pink miata

 

 

I only agree if you are not grouping the ///M Roadster/Coupe with the regular Z3's. The 1.9L is pretty uncool, but the ///M ones are sex, especially the coupe.



I am not a fan of the SR in the Z3 though. I would have preferred an I-6, but props to the work involved on that swap.

 

meh, it still looks like a penis
