You have doubtless been asked this any number of times but why an RB and not an LS?

because i have spent a good chunk of 6 years now working on rb engines and I am building the engine and doing the mounts etc myself so its no easier to do a ls that i know nothing about and rb is lyf

[rb25/30 build questions]

ah yeah i guess neo would be a fair bit of extra work fair point there haltec it is i guess 

[rb25/30 build questions]

i think s2  stageas and er34 rbs are supported with nisture and is there a major issue with a n/a ecu?

yeah someone mentioned rb30 starters dying using a 25 gbox is all

and yeah studs and a few other things were on the books just weather or not to do it now or later i dont know as the head will likely come off within six months for better pistons and rods 

as for the loom yeah i already have to modify the loom im getting from wiring specialties as the e36 dash needs a bmw sensor to replace a nissan one on the motor

So this is my 92 320i e36 im currently tearing the front apart as you can see for a 25/30 engine swap and i think this is probably the best place for this build to be posted.

it doesn't need too much outside of the conversion but i defiantly need a few things so here is the list of things to do or at least i hope to do at some point ?

• e46 purple tag rack 
• new wheels probally the 2 im missing to match the front
• euro tailights
• decent seats 
• possible m3 front bar 
• the obvious missing engine 

any ideas on other things that are nice things to have on e36s 

[rb25/30 build questions]

So im about to purchase a 30 for a e36 25/30 build and was wondering a few things so my questions are 

• will a rb25 wiring loom need much changing apart from the e36 side of things? (ill be ordering a e36 rb25 loom)
• for a 25 box i just need a 25 slave and starter?
• is haltec the only real way to go ecu wise or could i nistune a 25 ecu
• what power can stock studs handle
• is there a reason i shouldnt use a n/a 25 head and ecu if i dont want to turbo it straight away

above all that i dont want to make big power straight away just want it to be usable
