neither of u know jack shit about e30's... using anything out of an e90 on an e30 is pure blasphemy... the e30 and e90 have absolutely 0 in common besides the badge.. keep that magnesium e90 techno crap where it belongs.
hands down the best plant for an e30 is either the M50/M52 or S52... of course getting 500hp would involve turbocharging, forged internals, modifying compression ... but it would still be easier (and cheaper) than shoving that enormous technological v10 in a light/small car like the e30.
respect to the original poster, that is an amazing project and it looks clean as hell. good to know that it can be done although i'm sure there are better ways to get 500hp in an e30 than with the v10. that's quite an interesting way to get rid of the rust as well.
