Just SC your car!

well, the other way is to go with a 330 engine and tranny over the 325... if not you will not notice much difference anyways...

But Wilson's idea also good... SC... force induction good!
 
Re: Can install E46 325 engine to my E46 320coupe?

Definitely possible. But it's not the most efficient way of spending your money. You'll get a lot more power by going forced induction...

Go SK1 and you'll even eat Sti's for breakfast., hehe...
 
Re: Can install E46 325 engine to my E46 320coupe?

sure can, agree with CBS, it may not be the most cost efficient way though....

Hehe, this guy have 320ci not 325ci.....so it's a 320 tranny.....

2 option for him to choose.

1. 330 transplant with 330 torque converter
2. SK+ or SK1 SC

Both will give you very nice gains.

CBS posted a used SK+ for our buddy Stanley.

Check it out man!!

Ofcourse you must have mod funds lah.....dun expect $2k will get you anything hor....

when you want to play with engine where got 2k one? 10k also maybe not enough ah...

Bro, I said if want to get 330 engine also need tranny and rear end lah... hehe
 
Re: Can install E46 325 engine to my E46 320coupe?

U guys dunno meh??

Alot of them driving BMW but only have mod funds for Picanto parts.

They will ask how much is the sky & how much for the moon.....then later say

"too expensive, I only have $200.....can be cheaper??"

I would like to get the 330 engine if possible but getting the tranny is not easy. Also I think the ECU also must change rite?

The previous option is not viable if tranny is not available. So maybe I will check out the SK+ and SK1 supercharger. Whats the differences between the 2? Will my 320 tranny strong enuff for the supercharger? Who and where can I get it done?
 
Re: Can install E46 325 engine to my E46 320coupe?

ECU no need to change.

Most people swap the 2.2 torque convertor to a 3.0 one to cope with the power increase. The rest of the gearbox remains the same.

SK+ is the smallest blower from ASA. It runs without an intercooler and is relatively simple to install compared with an SK1 system. The torque and power increase are also more modest (50-60 bhp).

SK1 system comprises of a bigger blower (TM-12) and includes an intercooler, just like turbocharged cars. The installation is much more complex due to the piping involved to hook up the supercharger to the intercooler to the engine. Gains are more substantial at around 100 bhp.

Whether you do an engine transplant or go with a supercharger, you will face the same problems of your stock 2.2 gearbox not being able to handle the extra power. But with a supercharger, it will be worse due to the stupendous torque increase. Yes, a supercharged 2.2 produces much more power and torque than a stock 3 litre engine.

Most people do fine with just a torque convertor swap with a SK1 charged 2.2 engine. In the event that the gearbox still fails, you have 2 options. 1) Rebuild and strengthen the failed autobox. 2) Manual conversion.

if you are looking for the 3.0 engine, there's an engine(near) around you.

Talk is cheap/free.

If you are serious in getting more power out of your 2.2L, U can PM me for power packages.
