Awesome! I'll start saving now!

I've sorted the ECU out (not vems or megasquirt) and I'll get the manufacturer to tune the car once it's built. I'll get it running on the 2.5 the put in the 3.0.

I was hoping you'd catch this thread Reggid, your engine is a great inspiration to me.
I'll try source as many parts in the UK as I can. Most parts I should be able to get & sourcing the odd bit from the US shouldn't be too much hassle.

I've been looking at bimmerheads race heads with 1mm over sized valves for it (with 284 cam) that should flow enough with some sort of ported intake manifold.

Eventually I'd like ITB's but that will be a few years down the line.

I'm sure I read somewhere that I could use an M54b30 crank with custom pistons but would like some clarification before I make my shopping list.

Yeah, I've got their site bookmarked on my phone. I was just wondering if there was another way.... I don't fancy paying the shipping, insurance & import tax on their stroker kit (although a 3.1 would be fun! )

Evening all,

I'm still thinking of ideas for a stroker motor in my 4dr & keep coming back to a b30....

Any ideas on what parts I'd need? As in which crank & Pistons to use? Would I need custom or are there any late engine parts I could use?

Cheers

And remember the stupid law they passed in France the other year declaring it illegal to have a satnav showing speed camera locations....

I bought one on eBay from the states, I think they may still be available on there.

I'm having the same problem so will be interested in the answer too.

The revshift ones from hack engineering look good quality & there are plenty of US e30's running them. They come in different hardness compounds too.

I looked at all the options for making the b20 faster & in the end I could have spent £1000 on the engine but it still wouldn't have had the power/torque of a b25 so in the end I got a b25 swapped in. I still have the original engine but I can't decide on wether to build it up to a b28 or save up & ...

Do you have the part number handy for the top hats mate?

Thanks for the replies, I did find someone to give it a good look over & drop a M20b25 in it too. He said it was nice & clean with not real rust in the problem areas apart from the front & rear arches. The rest of the work I can now do myself & for the odd but I can't I'll run it down the road to ac...

Long time with no update..... The car has been away for the last 3 weeks having a M20b25 installed but it'll be ready to collect on Thursday & I can't wait. The guy doing the install said the car looks very clean so I'm hoping that 7yrs stood in a barn has been good to the old girl & she won't requi...

Parts arrived this morning. Thank you very much a‘a

Hi,
The clips that you used for the windscreen washer pipes, where did you get them from as mine have are leaking in the same place as yours was.

That's brilliant as I have Tuesday off & can hopefully get the drive belts on a‘a

Just ordered, very polite & helpful in the phone.
Thank you a‘a

Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear a˜€

I'm currently looking for engine mounts as I'm having a M20b25 put in my 320 & while the engine/box are out I may as well change all the mounts for what they cost.
I usually use febi or Lemforder but Meyle keep popping up & seem to be more available.... So has anybody used them & do you rate them?

Thanks Brian, I'll have a go at this when the weather clears up. Would it be ok to pm you if I get stuck? It should be straight forwards but who knows....

Has anyone fitted one of these kits?
I've just recieved my kit but the installation instructions are non existent. Can anyone give me any pointers as I hate electrics & don't want to fry owt.
Cheers
Jamie

It was the fan belt, I changed it this morning & it's now quiet so hopefully it isn't the the water pump as I've just bought a M20b25 to go in so don't really want to spend any more on the current engine. Mine has one of the alternators on an adjuster bolt that moves side to side as you turn the 19m...

Oil is fine, checked it before I set off but will check it again in the morning when I can see. How do I tighten the fan belt?

Evening all, Just been out for a quick drive in my 320 & about 5 miles from home the engine started to squeak & this coincided with the temp gauge going up. I popped the bonnet but everything seemed to be spinning ok & the squeak seems to be coming from the back of the engine. My temp has always bee...

Cheers mate, I'll try get in touch with him.

Morning all, Does anybody know of a decent garage in West Yorkshire who would be able to do the few things on my E30 that I don't have the time/space to do? There's a really good one down the road from me but he doesn't know E30's (He's a classic Mini & Alfa Romeo man) and he's getting a bit expensi...

Awesome work there mate.

Cheers buddy.

Afternoon all,
Do any of you have remote central locking that isn't part of an aftermarket alarm? I want to install remote locking but don't want an aftermarket alarm due to so many having problems, I just want to be able to unlock/lock without using my key as it's getting a little worn.
Cheers

Evening all, I've just been out to drop my wife off at her Xmas do & when I've got home I've noticed the rear drivers side door is sitting on the latch, as in it's shut but not fully if you know what I mean? Has this happened to anyone else & if so how did you rectify it? Is it a quick fix that I co...

Ok, that's cool. I'll buy everything separate & build the front struts up off the car.

Are the 320-325 front callipers the same? Wiki states that there are only 2 types 6 cylinder engines & the 4 cylinder ones. Is this correct as I'd like to pit vented discs on the front if it's possible.
