What engine swaps / builds or what have you do you want to accomplish in the next say 10 years?
>What car
>What engine
>What purpose
>Dreaming or actually possible?

I have a couple I don't think ill manage to do them all but here it goes

My more reasonable one as I already have the engine.
>Audi B3 (wagon?)
>Audi AAN 2.2T with rs2 goodies, (Exhaust manifold, turbo, injectors) should net around 400hp very reliably with not to much turbo lag
>This would probably be a fun weeked car / track car, wouldn't go over the top with anything really. Would love to try it on some dirt trails and wrap it around a tree. Also would be interesting to do the rwd conversion which is pretty easy.
>I see this one as pretty easy to do, its a direct swap almost, can even run a ABY wiring loom and be ready to go.

This ones pretty reasonable also, I don't want to do this as much as I use to anymore though but still think it would be really fun.
>E30
>M60b40, I think they made 280hp from the factory, would get a chip for $300 to get another 40hp (yeah ok) and raise the red line to 7k or 7.5k if you I do valve springs and all that jazz. This engine also weighs in only about 40lbs more then the original I6's. The I6's are all iron blocks while the m60 is completely made of aluminum
>Originally I wanted a really clean e30 and to do this swap as a daily driver, now I would just want to buy a shell / pos e30 and turn it into a drift/race car what have you.
>This ones also very doable I already purchased a 200 page guide (it was cheap fuck off) on how to do the swap with every single step, nothing is really that hard, the engines can be picked for for $500-$1k and are supposed to be extremely reliable.

Heres my 3rd


Heres my least do able one but the one I want to do the most, I have had an obsession with NA V12s for as long as I have liked cars and I desperately want to own one
>240z/6/8 (This is really undecided and still and I haven't done to much research but its a car I really like how it looks and I figure it will have enough room for the engine.
>Mercedes m120 makes 400hp or so and 400+ torque in stock form. (was used in the Zondas with some modifications im sure) Its a NA v12 that screams like an f1 car and they can be had for relatively cheap for what it is
>This car would be more of a touring car. Comfy inside and fun to drive.
>Dreaming probably. They only came with autos from what I know so getting a manual to bolt up and then fitting it into a car would be a bitch im sure
>>
>realistic
13b-rew into an mx5
would be hektik as fuck

>dreaming
20b into mx5
would probably be more dangerous than anything, but whatever

also if i could afford it getting a GT86 and swapping in a turbo i4/v6 would be pretty cool
>>
>E30
>M30 swap, cheap, mountains of torque
>Potential for future turbo
>M54 swap is the dream when I have money
>>
13b-msp into sa22 rx7
12a a shit, 4 port and 6 port 13b a shit, turbo a shit
engine already out.. so part way there
>>
>E36 Compact
>Some Volvo in-line 5cyl Turbo engine (e.g. 850 2.4T)

My dad always had some Volvo 850 or V70 till last year so I grew up with these cars. The 5cyl sound is just exactly my thing, wouldn't change it for an V8 etc.
The engines (like the rest of the cars) are built like tanks, you can put so much boost in them it's horrific.

Honestly I think I just wan't an 850, but I can't afford 15L/100km or the insurance or the tax, so I thought it would be a kinda fun project to put such an engine in my little E36 Compact. Never seen something like this done before.

Ofc I highly doubt this is even possible. Neither do I have the money for the swap or even the parts, nor is it going to be very easy butting a big Volvo engine and transmission in an Compact. You'd need special adaption parts to get it connected to the BMW axle, wich'd make it even more expensive.

I think you're mixing these engine up, renesis is not known for it's reliability at all.

So far this seems realistic, but I'm still in planning stages:

>build 383 stroker to 400-500hp
>mate it to M21 Rock crusher 4 speed
>drop it into an early 90's volvo 240
>black out windows, gut, tub, and cage interior
>stick big street slicks up in the tubs
>leave the rest basically stock (bonus points for luggage rack and faded paint)
>cruise around in the grocery sleeper, smoke the tires for fun, and occasionally hit the local drag strip

>>16698501
>renesis is not known for it's reliability at all
i think you are confusing the renesis with turbo rotaries

1GZ-FE swap my is300

Probably spend a while building up the 1GZ with forged pistons and rods, either custom intake or ITBs depending if I want to turbo or not, rework the head to transform it from a tame luxobarge engine into a screamer.

Probably just keep it N/A since i plan on DDing it and really just want to feel that v12 sound without turbo noise.

Uhhh..... are you sure you've done a swap?
I'd say the bigger pain is fabrication of custom motor mounts and cross members and transmission supports, along with custom shifter linkage and wiring harnesses, custom fuel systems and custom radiator supports.

becuse listing mismatching hoses as a pain makes no sense, that's chicken shit in comparison to a thousand other things that are more costly and laborious

Not sure. We've seen the giant turbo k20 swaps, the 2grfe/1uz swaps and of course beams swaps

Imagine an LS in this thing... There was a guy who started the project and ended up having to cut the fuel tank short to fit it in

I see you paid for pre-fabbed motor mounts on your swap, it appears you didn't custom make them otherwise you wouldn't give a shit about a rubber hose

>>16704482
lol why am I arguing with you? Enjoy doing things the hard way (I'm sure someone makes engine mounts for your swap). Should have just saved up for a C5 or a camaro, btw.

Enjoy paying for pre-fabbed mounts when you could have just bought a welder and made your own and be able to make whatever the fuck you want, for example, custom crossmember, trans mounts, seat adapters, axle swaps, custom trailing arms and torque arms, custom panhard rods, custom shortened struts, shortened axles, custom rad/intercooler supports, etc etc
Nah, just keep buying prefabbed and being a bitch.

I suppose it's possible, but questionably justifiable
The plan basically guts the car, new:
Engine
Transmission
Suspension
interior panels
Seats
Power steering
AC
Maybe cross braces for better rigidity, don't really care about the t-top
It's not gonna handle well, but +450hp on a chassis I like seems pretty sick
