Ahh, you might as well get the z3 diff cover for it too for better cooling.

To be honest, the s14 engine isn't even all that powerful. A lot of people complain about how underpowered e30s especially the e30 m3 are. But you can buy a 2.5 m3 evolution conversion for it.

evolution conversion kit = $7000 I believe.. might have been 9K

I'm not sure if anyone has any left...

Dinan used to sell it, essentially the same BMW kit.
