E30 Zone

Good pics about the differences between the m20 and m50 mounts mate. But i have no problems with servo clearance or the sump/ground clearance. My point about the oil problems was that if the engine is tilted too much to the left, there will be too much oil in the cyliderhead (the oil flows back in t...

I think about 20mm can help alot building the manifold and wonÃ‚´t give any oil problems yet...

Put one end of the selector rod in a vice and with a big pair of grips twist the other end 10Ã‚° Here are some pictures of a modded bracket, not my welding nicked from a US site :wink: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/Danharborow/346-2477fp344nu327-777633WSNRCG3-1.jpg http://i11.photobucket.c...

New lasercutted parts. And some engine management stuff too.

Gonna build the exhaust manifold next.

Gonna improve the front brakes as well. These should look nice behind the wheels.

Audi S3 312x25mm vs standard disk. Saab 9000/Aero callipers coming up.

Taitaa sama prokkis olla BTCF:ssÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤ esillÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤ myÃƒÆ’Ã‚¶s :P Typing error? :? Secret language :D This project is starting to look good, is it going to be driveable this summer? Are you coming to Bimmerparty? Well i try hard to get it running before winter, but who knows... :D I might show up ...

Well...at least the pistons are not showing anymore..

DanThe wrote:Is that piston at the top of its stroke?

Nope, not quite. Comp is around 8:1 with 3.5mm MLS gasget.

Some stuff...

Spring is here, so bolted on my Hamann H2Ã‚´s. 8.5x19" front and 10x19" rear. http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/foorumi-ratas.jpg http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/foorumi-edesta.jpg http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/foorumi-takaratas.jpg http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/foorumi-sivusta.jpg

Ever seen a straight six in a bathroom..?

Just a temporary overnight "storage" before garage.

Some new pics. Cloydy weather... Pictures wont do justice to the violet thatÃƒ”šÃ‚´s hiding there somewhere.. :) http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/maali1.jpg http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/maali2.jpg http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/maali3.jpg http://www.kovaluu.com/loota/Julle/maali4.jpg htt...

Looking very nice! Sandblasting those "rear end" parts are also in my to do list.

Nice to see that someone else is also doing a e30 restauration in this scale.

Sweet! what are you doing for an exhaust manifold by the way? Me and my mate gonna weld it together. As soon as i have the time to put the top end of the M50 together, weÃƒ”šÃ‚´ll drop it in and start making the manifold. ItÃƒ”šÃ‚´s gonna be a 3/3 pulse manifold, as my GT40 has a divided exhaust ca...

excellent 8) looking forward to more pics, so i'm guessing its a darker techno violet? Well..not exactly.. In cloudy weather, like in that picture, it looks normal 181 diamondblack. But in bright light the pearly violet "jumps out" slightly. But when the violet comes out, it does look littlebit lik...

So now itÃƒ”šÃ‚´s been painted. Gonna get some better pics tomorrow with my Canon EOS 300D. Hope thereÃƒ”šÃ‚´s sun because it brings out the best of it. It has a new layer of diamondblack and top of that is a layer of dark pearl violett.

Sorry for the offtopic but what is council..??

Bought it from Sweden. Payed 360Ãƒ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬ for it.

IÃƒ”šÃ‚´m using m50b25 crank and new standard m52b28 pistons and rods. Comp ratio should be bit over 8 with that rod-piston-gasget combination.

Frontbrakes you can get here www.300mm.de ;) Taitaa sama prokkis olla BTCF:ssÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤ esillÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤ myÃƒÆ’Ã‚¶s :P Joo laitoin huviksi tÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤nnekki vÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤hÃƒÆ’Ã‚¤ matskua... :) Allready got those Zimmermann "sport" discs.

Raised bonnet?!

Looks like the car has been crashed and then repaired poorly.

IÃƒ”šÃ‚´d go for a custom made bigger radiator if overheating is a problem when banging against the rev limiter. But hey, thatÃƒ”šÃ‚´s only my opinion so donÃƒ”šÃ‚´t mind.

I use ARP bolts and 3.5mm MLS gasget in my m50 turbo. www.pure-pf.com and the guys can speak english in there so mail them.

Hi again!

Gonna get the car from paintshop this week so nice pics coming up.

Meanwhile hereÃ‚´s a useless pic of some parts.

ARP bolts, 3.5mm MLS (multi layer steel) gasget and a Nuke performance fuelrail.

1000hp with THAT exhaust manifold?!? What a load of bollocks...

Nice work so far - best of luck 8) What sort of power and torque are you looking for? Bigger brakes? Somewhere between 300 and 400 horses. DonÃ‚´t wanna raise the boost over 1 Bar (quess thatÃ‚´s around 14 psi or something..?) in the beginning.. IÃ‚´ve been thinking about getting bigger brakes, but...

awesome project 8O i'm also restauring a e30 but i have a M20 engine turbo isn't needed i think... just another exhaust en intake can you post some more pics of the bodywork? anyway, succes with the turbo!!! Thanks mate! :) Few more pics. Took these in the spring of 2005. I was bit busy at the time...

DanThe wrote: @ turbo
Its a good job your left hand drive then

Yep. Could be a pain in the arse to fit the downpipe and the steering shaft at the same side of the engine.

DanThe wrote: project
What turbo are you planning on using?
And how did you widen the arches

Thanks Dan.

IÃ‚´m using a Garrett GT40 with integrated wastegate.

There it is.

Ok so here are few pics taken today. We started preparing the chassis for painting. We did also the wheelarces bit wider to cope with the 8.5/10x17 inch wheels and incoming H&R Cup Kit.

Hey fellas!

Not sure if this the right section, sorry...

Anyway. I need a good, clean side picture of diamond black sport with 9x16" Borbet AÃƒ”šÃ‚´s front and rear. Have to do some photoshopping and my own sport is in pieces at the moment.

Thanks for the help lads!
