n52 n54 engine swap

e92justin · 07-09-2010, 04:12 PM

Please dont flame me for this but would it be possible to swap out the 335 motor into a 328? Ive never heard of it being done before.

FLAME

lol

mike-y · 07-09-2010, 05:32 PM

of course it's possible, it's just a matter of money vs sense.

Yes. Possible. Anything is possible man. Hartge stuck a v10 in the E90, why not the n54.

Why did you ask though? Indeed, it is a stupid question.

You can also make a Fiero into a lambo.

On a side note, I wouldn't mind having a fiero with a northstar turbocharged v8.

But check out the link...this guy did the reverse. Took a Ferrari and put a Fiero engine into it. Something like buying an M3 and doing a Civic engine swap.

just4kickz · 07-09-2010, 09:00 PM

why would you want to do this? this is like 100x worse than the "can i turbocharge my n52" threads. if your going to do an engine swap, don't use an engine being used on the current model...thats just stupid. drop the e90/e92 m3 engine in there or a e46 m3 engine.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude. But it's a terrible question. You want a 335, BUY a 335. Sell your 328, take the hit, and buy the 335. Really, this is just unreal. Would you buy a 325 and then ask to have the M engine put in it? Come on. Seriously. You don't really mean this, do you? You can't? It's not possible. Tell me this is a joke.

Considering i was curious, that i didnt pay for the car, and that i dont want to pay about 10k in differences after selling the car... no im not joking, nor did i say i was going to do this.

Wlew · 07-10-2010, 12:45 PM

how much would a swap like this cost? or to drop and M3 engine in there? would it be worth it instead of buying the other car?

and maybe Justin likes his 328. ever think of that? Maybe he wants to keep it and just add more power... not everyone wants a 335.

Unless you plan on doing ALL of the work yourself, it's going to cost more than $10k. And even if you did all the work yourself, it still might be close to 10k.

Go big.... Swap in the m3 v8. That's my five year goal....

DimSum · 07-10-2010, 06:17 PM

Anything is possible if you got money. You can even swap a 600hp E36 turbo'ed M3 engine in a 323i.

mfstout · 07-11-2010, 12:23 PM

Okay then. Good luck.

A 328 with an n54 engine swap is a 335. So...................
