[QUOTE="nasscmw, post: 2567852, member: 11469"] Hey guys just an advice, for those who want more power to check on any better engines for your own car brand first before resorting to jap engines. When I first wanted to do an engine transplant I only knew SR20s and RB25s/26s etc, I did more research and found a performance engine for my own car. Like 190Es there are the 16v engines, the 2.6, the 3.2 the 24v engines. Am sure for the BMWs you'd get the 2.5s, the 2.8s all DOHC 6cylinders as well as the 3litres. And let's not forget that BMW is about performance. And another thing is check on torque and hp ratings than just hp itself, because if one of you guy want good pick up or whatever, you'd have to look at torque as well and there are other issues such as differential ratios and such that will affect any pick up feel and cruising feel. Remember how those muscle cars can spin their wheel with an auto trans even with less than 200hp? It's all about torque! Just to let you know that I am not being biased about this because I have tried both sides and I do find both fun to drive. But just inform everyone to find more info about any better engines meant for your car first before making a final decision. [/QUOTE]
