Introducing SAAB B204 Powered BMW E30 TURBO Drift Car!

[@rosco4659]

The brake booster from the MK1 Golf fits in the E30 easy enough, it's smaller and has the same power etc.

Im running a 420hp b204 in my e30 , brilliant engines

[@tomtellsit]

Ah brilliant man, I'm sure Matt will want to ask you a few questions!

[@gderby6082]

I fitted test ran and pulled apart to paint the engine bay which turned into a full body resto. (Pics are online if you search ' b204 e30 track car' ) The sump was a nightmare i may dry sump it eventually also break servo i fitted inside the car & keeping the heater was tight!

Wonderful engines are these b204-s.

[@tomtellsit]

A very good unit, at such a great price point! (For now)

[@lachezarlazarov7566]

@@tomtellsit Yeah, exactly. Just hoping to swap one of these before they become too expensive like the k20 .

E30 one of the best looking bmw

[@tomtellsit]

Definitely, and with a period inspired livery to boot.. the perfect combo!?

[@MaxCotton]

Hey Tom 👍 E30 is a cool car to drift. but I am a little bias 😂

[@tomtellsit]

Ha will be cool to see you guys in some tandems! 🤘

[@Makestuffhappen]

That would be rad!!

[@MaxCotton]

@@Makestuffhappen Yeah!!!

[@tomtellsit]

Ha it's settled then lads!

[@dj_paultuk7052]

They dont go bang. Ive got two and one is 420bhp and the other nearly 500. Both over 200k on the original engines. They are fully forged from the factory and just go on forever.

[@tomtellsit]

I'll have to consider one when my SR20 goes bang!

[@rassebengtsson744]

600hp on a stock b204 is No problem:)

[@tomtellsit]

Yes! Amazing how underrated this engine is.. in the UK at least!

[@NorwayVFX]

I think the current record on stock block, crank, pistons and rods is over 700hp.

[@Aronsson007]

A guy in Sweden is running a stock block at 1200hp

[@melissaturner2362]

Any more info on this E30 (build threads etc)? Looking at doing a b204 swap myself.
