curious as to why you'd be swapping an rb20 into an e36 if it already has a straight 6 in it...not many people have done bmw swaps but if you're handy with a service manual and can read wiring schematics you'll be golden.

And here I was thinking a bmw m3 engine in a 240sx would be a lot of fun with less heat in the engine bay.

Yes but just think about it the posibility of the RB20det and the expacion of this engine compare to the inline 6 of the bmw it does not cut it for me and also the money to spend if whant to make more power vs the rb20det couple of modification and make alot of power.
