I'm new to BMWs, as I've been driving numerous Toyotas (primarily the Ae86) for a long time. I was hoping someone could tell me about the possibilities on swapping a Toyota 4age engine into the 318ti? I thought of doing a BMW S14 swap in the future, but it sounds pretty expensive. Will a 20v 4age fit without having to modify the oil pan? Any prohibitive issues I could expect? Thank you for any input. | | | 12-17-2014, 03:22 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Don't know about an Ae86, but I wouldn't do an S14 swap. Save those motors for M3s. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-17-2014, 07:09 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by Ae318ti I'm new to BMWs, as I've been driving numerous Toyotas (primarily the Ae86) for a long time.

What is goal? What are you trying to do? __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!

I honestly would not bother with this type swap due to the availability of M/S5X engines here in the US. Six cylinders offer nice torque and will not be stressed as much as the four cylinder with a turbo and the heavier E36 compact vs a Corolla or ? What ever smaller Japanese car swap that this engine would swapped into. RB26 would be fun for sheer grunt. S14...10k core charge from BMW right now, trust me you don't want to go down that path. Yes they are both mine. they both absorb $ like it goes out of style since it's a hand built car with NLA parts.

I'm still considering the possibility of a S54B32 though. However, I still want to explore the feasibility of putting a 20v 4age Blacktop into a 318ti. | | | 12-19-2014, 03:05 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | S54 would be a great choice, make sure you purchase a manual transmission for ease in the swap. | | | 12-24-2014, 01:32 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: SLO, CA Posts: 168 | As a former AW11 C-Street Prepared autocrosser -- and a present M52-swapped 318ti owner/daily-driver -- I would say don't bother. The 4AGE engine has no low-end power, and the extra weight of the 318ti would make the car frustratingly low on ooomph. Drive a 6-cylinder swapped 318ti and you'll never look back... | | | 12-26-2014, 03:45 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 | | | | 01-05-2015, 02:20 PM | #10 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | I think we all know where my vote lies... You will spend at least as much (if not more) for less power and a lot less low end torque. Plus the aggrivation, which I simply cannot afford at all personally. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
