well after a day of checking out different set ups ive gone for this bad boy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/F1-RACING-COMPLETE-STAGE-3-PERFORMANCE-RACE-CLUTCH-KIT-/160459441789?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A325i&vxp=mtr&hash=item255c20c67d As the clutch has gone and i cant drive the t...

I'm telling ya the fueling is fine. we took it up to 7 psi and ran 270 and the fueling was fine. In fact there was even some left over to pop a few flames.

How your gear box holding up with the 6 puch??

Nice one. just droped them an email to get some prices and lead times.

ok i'll rephrase it, which website?? Gonna see how long delivery is?

where did you get yours from??

£250 not too bad. Ideally though i'd like to get it on before thursday so i can get it back on the dyno.

what lbs are the ons on ebay?

Yer i'll deffo change the head gasket, i'd rather do it now before it goes and causes me more probs. plus doing it sooner rather than later means is just a straight gasket swap, i'll have that done in a few hours. Can sort my leaky oil return at the same time

wow at £10 they gotta worth a punt.

Sound, so if i have this correct i do not need to change the compression?? Would you recommend a different gasket from stock or just replace with stock bmw gasket when i do the studs?

Just had a look its only running 200bhp at the wheels, so around 240 at the fly.

Will definitely need bigger injectors when i start getting the horses up. What do the 32lbs come out of??

Its a Greg so 89/90. So clutch wise im looking for something better than standard but i dont need to go as far as a 6 puck race clutch. No there is no bog at 5psi, we had it up to 7psi with no probs. Theres still some more there the fueling is spot on. I havent even touch the spark tables yet. its r...

Hi, Just completed the fitting of the turbo and megas squirt. I have had it all mapped and runs really sweet. All i have done so far is fitted the turbo and ancillaries, fitted ms2 extra and got it running. I have done nothing to the engine yet. I have ran it round for the weekend at 5 psi sweet but...

a good question, can't find answwer to this one.

decomp plate or use low comp face lift pistons. aand dave that ones ~3mm to drop a silvertop zetec to 8.1:1. been run up to 100 Deg water temp and held just fine, hasnt been tried in anger under boost yet but i see no reason for trouble. I'm sorry for being a pain aris but i'm really confused now (...

yea thats true but its hard to beat motronic for a cheap and cheerful turbo conversion. all depends really on how far u plan to take the turbo setup on the M20. if its around 300bhp or less motronic will do fine unless u need the extra features available with a standalone setup. when/if i boost my ...

So do i have this right, there is no way round machining the pistons??

cheers chu346 for the link. I have the later engine. The story is, a mate of mine bought one of these cheapy ebay turbo kits and had it sat in his garage for the last couple of years. I did a trade for my old m5 back boxes and my skills in welding for said kit. I have an H reg touring and an E reg c...

I'm after arp head studs, i have got a part number which will then require cutting down but i'd rather find the ones that fit straight in. As for the head gasket i was looking on a few forums and it seems the mls gaskets are better for turbo conversions. Maybe i have it wrong, if any one would like ...

Cheers for all the advice, ive gone with Hayward & Scott, they are making the manifold and exhaust to my exact spec (which other compaines didnt want to do because it was more work) collecting the car 150 miles from them and dropping it back. its deffo a big wack but i didnt think £2000 was out of t...

I have contacted a few arp suppliers now and they all say "arp do not do a kit for the e30" i have located a kit in america but didnt really want the hassel of buy overseas. so my question is where can i get an e30 m2 arp stud kit?? While i'm in the asking questions mood, does anyone know where i ca...

well i'm hoping it wont be too pricey as the front 3 pipes are all good. As it is it works but its a bt hill billy and i have ground a load of the alley steering link. Plus when you get it really sideways on lock the engine pins the steering wheel. Thats fun

I have tried loads of different welding type people. Problem i have is that the rear 3 pipes need to bend in a completely different way to what they do now (if that makes any sense.)

Hi, I'm picking up on the e34 M5 project i started a few months back. I'm struggling to find anyone who makes manifolds and exhausts. I have found loads of companies that will do manifold back. I have the origional but the rear 3 pipes are a bit bent. Just to get the car started i needed to heat and...

yer that would help a bit.

2.5 m20

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be marvelous

But lucky for you guys i had to take the steering off again last night so theres some pics...

I only took a few pics of the steering gear. I'll get them up at work tomorow. The car is running and better still it turns!! I used a clio brake servo instead of the vw one as i heard it made the brakes a bit spongy (e30 brakes worse than standard!!!) used the clio brake vacum with the e30 servo be...

on friday we started putting a 3.8 e34 m5 engine into an e30cabby. Today (saturday) we got it all fired up and running. I pretty much had everything covered for the conversion because most of it is documented on the net. However when we can to fit the steering gear back on i realised there was no ch...

Well after a weekend of getting used to the car i have decided that its a MONSTER!!! Obviously on a test drive you can't give them death. Its just a nimble as the m3 and feels so much more powerful. Traction off and she's a beast, gonna need a bit more practice before i master the whole of my favori...

Your right, no so much for fuel thoug. Borrowed my mates cabby, i love E30's!!!! can't see me being without 1 for long.

cheers, Have to say i'm not really in the position either. but i worked out if i: took the 3 grand i had to put e36m3 engine in my tourer, stopped take aways, take and apple to work rather than going to the garge every morning, rent my body (extra £2 a week but all helps) told the missus to quit smo...

:cry: Not saying i won't get another e30 at some point in time but i just spent out on an m5!!! dream car http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/smokeahama/ourm5.jpg It does mean that all the e30 stuff going on the board. will have to go through it all and put it up. I'm sure i'll come on here from t...
