E30 Zone

Hi Guys,

Love this forum, so many stunning rides.

I have been into e30's for the last 10 years. My latest creation, e30 m3, bought with original 80k, full history.

Swapped the s14 lump to a 3.0 forged m3 engine. Added the biggest rotrex c38 charger, auqamist water injection, custom hard pipe kit, coilovers, adjustable camber top mounts etc..

Opinions and thoughts welcome, running circa 500+bhp

next job, tidy the engine bay and some bling

looking good
any vid or sound clips

that should pee pee over anything, seriously

what's happened to the original lump etc?

Here you go chaps.

I know its hard to beleive but a lp560 only passed me at 140mph! obviously on a track.

The power is just endless, feels a bit too smooth at times, but you realise how quick your going when you look at the speedo.

Fantastic, looks great on those rims. Bet it goes rather well too!

As others have said, can you get some more pictures and maybe a cheeky video/soundclip up?

Ollie

Original lump was sold with the dogleg and diff.

very nice car, a proper machine. well done

Awesome mate

I just did a little sex wee.

very nice

but was this car anything to do with Fritz Bitz at all ? i'm sure one of their guys owned it and they but the s50 into the car

Yes Dave from Fritz bits built it from scratch for me.

The previous owner had started the project but did not even get half way and blew the previous engine. I bought it thinking it just needed a few add ons like charger and rebuild etc... How wrong i was!

Anyway, lots of money later this is how looks now.

Big shout to Random Dave!!!

im not to clued up on these sorts of engines. whats the large chrome t piecs pipe? air intakes?

plenum thats where the S/C feeds the air too.

shouldnt it be more flow efficient and not 90 degree right angles? will the end cylinders be getting equal flow to them as the middle?

its preasurised, I dont think it matters that much, Maybe he has done it this way for space. Dont look like there is much room in there.

Mike

FECK.. thats special!!!

Hi Fuzzy,

Room was a big issue, espcially all the hard piping hence the plenum design.

To be honest i am not too happy with it, and may get someone to design a newer one and remap the car again.

its bound to free up some extra horses when you do. which can only be a good thing.

Would like to have a go in this.

Just seen this on Pistonheads!

yep,

May sell.

I have 325 sport, was thinking of going m50 turbo, may take up Gunni on his engine conversion, and obviously free up some cash.

It wont be sold unless its a decent offer, for now its sitting in my garage

That is wicked

Why sell after all that work. If that was mine, I would be spanking it around 24/7.

looks great i have an e30 m3 with an s50 lump , and i am looking to do a s/c conversion what was the cost and who did the work for you and what mods were done to the engine , i did a post last week to see if anyone knew who would do a s/c conversion and how much but did not get any responses thanks

Looks awesome why do all the work and then sell.....

Looking to buy a m6 possibly.

Otherwise i would not sell.

How dose the handeling feel now you got a much heavier front end?

hey waleed.
looks good. have you noticed the reg is wrong on your plates???
get your power graphs up init.

Hi Dave,

Sorry been busy with work, only racked up about 500 miles so far if that!

I feel like keeping it, coz its so bloody quick and the bonus of being a e30!

I ordered the plates by accident, lol.


The car handles very well to be honest, i dont push it much round the corners as i have expensive wheels and stretched tyres.

I think having a heavy front end is not too much of a issue as long as you have the correct setup and camber.

I have coilovers allround, and eibach camber adjustment top mounts.
