E30 Zone

Wanted to post pic's of my Car we just took outside Wembley Stadium.

Turbo built by Ant 'the Wizard' orginal post
http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... ht=project


















Project is far from over, still plenty going on. She runs sweet and fast. Ant has carried out a lot of work on this and she's going back to him for more upgrades.

The pic's not that good (used a camera phone) as both my cybershots are f*****

I have more pic's as the project was built below on this thread.

Thanks to all the people I've asked advice from, Sal (M5Pilot) for planting the Turbo Seed, the e30zone and all members whose posts I've been reading, all people down at Aces whose cars I've been admiring since Sept while the Turbo was being built, Ben (Fowler) for the ICE Setup, and 'The Wizard' Ant.

Sweet dude!!!

Very nice mate

DAM thats a tidy setup!

very very nice, looks

Thanks,
Will update tomorrow with better pics, found a digital camera that works.

Awesome, Really nice tidy installation. I bet your pleased with it.

Very tidy!

Awesome pics too

Mark.

That's wicked mate.... looks such a nice car! Droooooooling!

that is sweeet

Thats so nice... Wot sort of powr is it??

At the moment its all guess work. Ant will be increasing the Boost and Re-Map. After that we will be rolling road her then give some proper Figures.

We are Aiming for over 350BHP - see how it goes

Below are pics of the Car when she was at A-Tech

Wow thats a rude engine, v.cool

Would love to see the pics of the build mate, also how hard is it to turbo the 325i lump? Much work involved?

looking dangerous!

Missed you at aces have to have a chat at the next meet

that is phat! how much is the conversion costing? cheers jamie

note to self.......... Must paint the workshop floor I'll get Dips to 2 tone it yeah .......

Gouki - Sorry mate, I get to Aces late 9.30ish after Footie. Was loking for you but got caught with a few things

Plus some guys outside cornered me for a ride -

Dannyboyb - Its a lot of work, but does she fly. You dont realise the speeds you can reach very quickly on the motorway. Overtaking is a very quick process All work carried out by Ant @ A-Tech so give him a PM - he's also in Kent.

Thats so nice... I wonder what it would look like in my cab...

Handsome! What sort of 0-60 and top speed does it give?

Cheers,

Damn

What size turbo is that? T25?

Is it a custom exhaust manifold?

Do you know if she needed any internal work or is the engine low enough comp to just bolt on?

Also, are you running an extra injector or have you remapped to get extra fuel in?

That is a very cool project, just wandering as i've got a T25 off a 200sx laying around the garage not doing a lot

Come on guys more info needed...

turbo is a T34/5 hybrid, spec is a secret no of the shelf unit will work properly in this application.

Exhaust manifold is a custom BBR log from 1990, there are a few knocking about on the net for sale....

Engine has been made low compression, 7.5:1 ish( I'll never tell), max boost is 21 psi , currently "running in" on 10 psi

Engine management has been changed to a Megasquirt ECU, and 42lb/hr injetors were used.

HTH

If you really want to know more, come and see the w/shop, TN17 area if you're local ...

Awesome

nice

Thanks ant thats quite a lot of info to take in, pitty im no where near u as would love to have a look at that...

Thats nuts! But very cool

Definately sounds interesting, didn't know if it was something possible do-able through easy available parts.
