e30 engine is from what other cars?

[Simonet]

I believe internals are different......

[Russ.C]

i'm not totally sure steve to be honest, my impressions were as phil said.

[Simonet]

I'm sure it has been discussed on here about them being uprated? I may be wrong...

Ed30 and S3 has different con-rods,pistons,turbo and cylinder head, there maybe more differences but can't quite remember, but base engine is the same as GTi

[Simonet]

That's the stuf I heard, so if that is the case, it's not the same base engine, just the block!

Found this...

The power plant of the S3 delivers all that is expected of a powerful sports engine, and does it supremely well. The 2.0 TFSI, which combines direct injection and turbocharger technology, delivers 265PS at 6,000 rpm. And at just 2,500 rpm it already musters up an impressive 350 Nm of torque – this pulling power remains constant up to 5,000 rpm. In the combined driving cycle the 2.0 TFSI displays another welcome character trait, its FSI direct petrol injection technology contributing to an impressive combined economy figure of 31.0mpg.

Compared with the A3, this engine is an advanced version which has undergone fundamental changes. The new turbocharger with its enlarged turbine and compressor rotor generates 1.2 bar of boost pressure – an unusually high figure. A modified intercooler significantly lowers the temperature of the compressed air, thus increasing the air mass necessary for combustion.

Pistons with stronger pins and strengthened connecting rods with new bearings transmit the powerful forces to the crankshaft. The cylinder block has been stiffened up and the head is made of a new, highly heat-resistant alloy.

The exhaust camshaft timing has been adjusted to accommodate the increased power output. High-pressure injectors with an enlarged cross-section squirt the fuel straight into the combustion chamber.

crankshaft, ancillaries, and as far as I know gearbox

why puke?

is it not in a seat either?

Sorry but I think the S3s look  and from what I have read,  they may be fast but quite bland to drive, but then again I suppose that matches their looks. No offence intended to Audi dirvers.

as title says, what other cars have the SAME engine as the one in the e30?

Audi S3

ED30, seat leon cupra, S3, Audi TT DEC07 onwards have the same engine bar the intercooler, only the S3 has the greater mass cooler, the engines are very different to the standard GTI engine, i wont bore you but even the con rods are strenghened, the geometry of the steering is also enhanced, its lowered 15mm and has a better but firmer suspension set up. the ED30 is easilly capable of 400bhp without any internal work needed, a GT28 71R could be bolted on and boost turned custom style high with no problem, my guess is 360bhp will be available with the standard turbo when a good quality 3" turbo downpipe and 100 cell sportcat are available and a good CAIS, and revo probobly pushing up the boost a little more.
