E30 Zone

My 320i E30 was a breaker, but was sad to see it broken so i've rescued her from death row.

shes rocking the council spec drift bus attire at the moment but when funds allow she'll have a nice lick of paint , few more important things to do first .

Her current spec is..

-2.5 engine, lightened flywheel (engine and flywheel built by byron - maggspower )
-spec stage 3 clutch.
-E46 purple tag leaky rack, with corsa UJ
-e36 aircon rad + volvo rad switch
-Aluminum tank
-walbro 255 pump
-Disc converted rear end (e36 Ti compact shizzle)
-solid rear beam
-strengthened rear arms
-e30 rear bilsteins
-e36 328i sport bilstein front legs
-328i brakes, yellow stuff pads.
-custom arms.
-adjustable top mounts.
-harnesses and seats
-Discovery 2 wheels
-T1-R tyres

Rear shelf carpet



Seats , originally went for some really nice OMP seats, but i think they where made for 5ft Size 6 ''Drift Cake'', because i couldnt get my ass into them and my head was over the top of the seat! so had to go for the cheaper polish alternative, but still a nice Fia 2020 Fiberglas seat.

More Welding Porn For the Haters

Got the HY35 all fitted and made some good results on the dyno.

Welded on a 3" V band and welded up the internal gate, then bored the inside of the housing out to 3", so the exhaust is 3" all the way to the wheel.

As for oil feed, im running a AN-4 feed, M12x1.5 31mm long banjo, no restriction.
Return is custom shizzle i made from 19mm i.d tube and some 25mm o.d pipe to the sump.

no smoke, no oil loss 1000 miles later.

Took the car down to be mapped by John and dave at emerald, highly recommend the service these guy's provide made for an awesome day out

car made 376bhp @1Bar. (havent got a pic of this graph will add soon)
291bhp @ 0.5Bar, as you can see from the graph its not got any lag, turbo spools up from 2krpm.

Nice work on the trailing arm bracing.

why the snatchy clutch? Big power planned in the future?

Any diff mods?

Maybe but maybe not, always good to be prepared

DanThe wrote:Any diff mods?

First she had the no oil diff mod, now she got the 4.1 lsd i think

did have a solid mounted diff, on a nice hanger .. but it was to noisy to drive to London on.

more picys added (second post)

Hi Leigh, there from Ben K at hack engineering, there CaTuned shafts.

Thanks

I hope your not planning on driving particularly hard with those CA tuned shafts!

Had Mr Flintstone in today from Ghetto Engineering to make a new gearbox mount.

whys that Dan ??

planning a few hard launches on fathers day at the pod.

another member with 500+bhp e30 killed them

CV joints disintegrated

It's the torque that kills things........ Dan should be ok he's only got 460NM of the stuff

Was said e30 setup correctly on the rear end ? i.e camber /toe..

The shafts come with a warranty for component failure, was that honored?

Theres allot of hate about for these shafts on the internet, but until you've tried some your self with a correctly setup rear end you cant just take there word for it.
