I GOT A TURBO FOR SALE THAT YOU MITE BE INTERESTED IN MOTOX-ENGINEER, BRAND NEW HOLSET HX40

i wouldnt even have bothered telling them before, my old e30 was registered and insured as a standard 320i and it was a 2.5 turbo. 320 and 325 engines are both m20's which means they look pretty much identical

basically i have a safety devices full cage, missing the header bar above the windscreen, i have the cage that the main hoop bolts straight to the floor, is the header bar straight or kinked at either end, cus i know the later cages with the platforms on the bottom of the main hoop have kinked bars?

yeah this is true, a turbo meet would be good, cus when i went to the pod for ultimate bmw, i seen 1 turbo e30 and that was it, i was proper disapointed, everyone talks about them but i never see any of them around!!!!

well adding it up mine will have cost me about £5000, with a few great bargins ive picked up and thats prob gonna be a 450hp + build

well i bought the crank and its brand new and un used, so would it be worth getting it lightened and balanced and possibly knife edged?

wow quite a lot of info there, cheers guys basically im starting from scratch with my car, i want it to be a race car with a tax disc, so im basically making no compromises with the shell or engine, i wanna be making as much power as possible through the m20 block, but want the power to come in effi...

has anyone done this already if so any pics or info appreciated

basically i have been offered a brand new 324td crank and the guy is saying that in the m20 with this crank and 130mm rods it will stroke it to a 2.8, is this right? and would this crank be good to use for a high power FI car??

im definately interested mate cus im prob gonna be cutting my roof off to fit a multipoint international cage, so this would be perfect what kind of price is expected?

there is a website where someone has listed all the info about it, step by step with pics also i think its www.e30cosworth.com

if its not the plug or the wire it will be something wrong with the clocks or the pulse generator(the thing on the back of the diff which the speedo wires connect too

yeah i agree, once the ms is set up well there is excellent gains over the motronic system, and even with the 440cc injectors im running i still get reasonably good fuel economy, and the benefits with ms that you can learn so much about the system and management and mapping in general beacuse you ha...

20. midnight m20b25, MS, w/s, holset hx40, waiting on parts to finish but expecting 350+

i got done by the police over it before on my old e30, they pulled out the vehicle defect form, and were there for a bout 10 mins finding everything wrong with the car, but it was still insured as a standard 2ltr and they didnt realise it was a turbo even though they looked under the bonnet, idiots

yeah i am kinda interested but wondering where the metal to carbon meet would be? top of the pillars? front and back windows etc, ???

i havent done a poly diff bush yet but the lolly pop bush, i hacked the standard rubber out of the center first then cut some slices into tthe metal outer part of the standard bush with a hack saw then just banged the rest of the bush out with a hammer and screwdriver, and to get back in i used a ha...

fair play, is this gonna be ready for ultimate bmw, im curios to see how many other turbo e30's are going?

true rust is a killer, the only way is to cut it out completely and with a lot of old cars there is much hidden rust so by the time u have cut it all out there mite not be much car left

MS any day of the week

i just dont understand these rear mount turbos, everyone has the filter under the car, what about when its wet??????????? water in engines dont make them go good. and what about the oil retun? its low pressure gravity return, how is it supposed to return to the sump or does it just go on the floor a...

ms is an excellent system for the bmw, i have had it on both my e30s on N/A and also turbo'd, and cant speak highly enough of it, first one me and my mate fitted, bit fidly but not as bad as u would expect, and on my current e30 the ms was on it when i bought it, it was fitted by a guy in kent calle...

wheres croft

well i had the beam on my old e30 and seemed to be alrite, stiffened up the back, i find the back end to be a bit skitish on standard bushes, so i prefered the polys, but i suppose everyone has there own opinions on different products, otherwise everyones cars would be pretty much the same, i wanna ...

nothing wrong with a bit of tire smoke off the line, its my magic trick, big cloud of tire smoke and then gone......

true i know the feeling

well ive got the gm coil park on there, and as i can recall i think its quite a good dwell timing and ballast for a good spark, so bit of a hit or miss one possibly, 500hp sean thats sounding pretty fierce, i hope to have a race with u at usc then, well im in the middle of making up a sweedish plenu...

i prop wouldnt be look towards stroking it to a 3.1, it would prob be a better plan to lighten and balence the bottom end, with lite flywheel and low ratio box, and a bit of advance on the timing to have the power a little lower and a rev happy engine, what u really want for rallying, but thats just...

well i dont have mtech bumpers but it should be the same as facelift mountings, plastic runners at the side and two hench bolts under the caps at the back that bolt upwards, basically give the bumper a tug, if it feels solid dont worry about it

well hopefully shouldnt be too long now, are you going to ultimate strret car at santa pod? so are u using that head that u bought off me?

either undo the bolts at the bottom, or jamm your fingers in the left side of the glove box and slide them along to the center as much as possible and try and open then, thats what i had to do in my old shed

ok guys im trying to find out whos gonna be running there car at usc at santa pod this year,

1. midnight - m20b25 turbo

well since i have the spare beam with the polys on it, i was gonna paint it while it was off, but ill save the beam thats on it anyway, if it does become an issue, i just wanna stiffen everything up really
