[ImysE30]

Resulted in this purchase




Nice angry snail




Few more bits to come

[The_Diddler]

Nice anchor, when's the launch date, god bless all who sail on her, and all that

Keep us posted Imy, when the lump going in, hope youre gonna beef up the brakes and suspension a tad

[jbh]

nice... what's been done to the lump internally ? bet it will be a beast

[ImysE30]

Cheers dude, you might recognise the engine

Hopefully will be getting it fitted in a month or so's time, need to give it a good clean first and get some bit's polished up

Suspension upgrade is next on the list, going to go 5 stud with E36 M3 stuff hopefully

JBH - Not sure if any internals have been done, i've heard internals don't need to be touched upto 450bhp

[Ollie_bwoii]

Is this the one you told me about? Belonged to driftboy iirc?

Nice one imy, who's going to be the one responsible for the 320i to 335i conversion then?

This is indeed the same one

Got a couple of people who i need to ask again but probably get my dad's mate to do the conversion, he's a big jap fan but i trust him with BMW's

[Rav335uk]

Well done, about time you put some pics up for all the non believers

Btw, i'll be having a close look at this, to copy

[ImysE30]

Of course

Can't wait to get it fitted, i'll be having sleepless nights

You'll have to catch me first

[Rav335uk]

No problem catching you, you'll have to learn how to drive first

[Baz666]

Nice 1 dude was going to buy chris`s one but could not get to him quicker enough

keep the pictures coming on the conversion

[Dezzy]

I was a non believer but fair play. That's a fooking BIG lump.
It will be nice to see it in.

Rav what springs do you use up front? With the extra weight of the turbo, manifold etc will you need custom springs or uprated coilovers imy?

Should raise some pulses once fitted!

[capri_rob]

Like the console with the dials in - I want to do this but most of the ones you see seem to have the dials in a mounting plate rather than straight into the console - which IMO looks much better - wasn't sure if you'd have clearance issues at the back of the gauges ?

About time you pulled your finger out

[Rav335uk]

I was a non believer but fair play.

Rav what springs do you use up front?

Standard M tec springs and Bilstiens mate, nothing special yet .

IMY, I want to have a look at the turbo manifold mate, my next big job

[charlE30]

Rav if you search for Toby_unna on here there is a massive thread on the construction of that manifold and whole turbo setup. He did a good write up on it.

Imys fair play mate, good to see you get into a proper project I take it you'll be using MS to control the beast.

[ImysE30]

Cheers lads

I'm hoping to get some coilover's and a big brake kit fitted (i'll need it ) once i get my 5 stud conversion parts together.

Project will be hopefully done in a couple of months, just going to tidy up the cab a bit and probably fit a Tech 2 kit (not sure yet though).

Rav - You can come down and have a look if you want mate, you got my number

I'll be using MS, i've got all the parts, hopefully it'll just be plug and play

[gooner1]

Nice one Imy, doubters seem to be getting
a bit of a kicking here lately.

That lump should be capable of dragging even your fat ar*e along at speed.

It should have enough power

[aceraf]

Well when it's ready, you'll have no excuse for turning up to footy late atleast.

[ImysE30]

I'm usually on time, it's the others that make me late

Nice big car park at Moorways too

[Felix79]

Finally all happening Imy and it's about bloody time!

Lets hope the Angel eyes get removed

[ImysE30]

Yeah i know Can't wait now though

They've already been removed, going to fit some smoked hella's

[gareth]

about time too!
if anyone wants to build a toby unna special exhaust manifold, let me know. i have the exhaust flanges in CAD format here, you'll need them to get a water/lazer cutter to knock them out for you.

[Jhonno]

Wonder how many more meetings it'll be, before it is fitted..

[aceraf]

Just don't go getting us banned from our home turf LOL!

You getting Sehmbi to fit it then?

[Alex]

My mate has one of these fitted to his 8 Birth Sunseeker

[bss325i]

I was witness to this kicking out just shy of 300bhp on the rollers when it was in Toby's bronzit turd but that was with throttle boddies as well.

Sounded good!

[ImysE30]

Should be fitted in about 4-5 weeks time, the guy fitting it is pretty busy at the moment. I hope to keep the legacy going

aceraf- Yeah Sehmbi should be fitting it, i've spoken to him and he said he'll do it for me. I went to see Ian Harrington to ask him but he's no longer got a unit in Friar Gate, place was getting demolished Need to find out where he's moved if he's still going.

First thing is to tidy the engine up a bit, give it and the parts a good clean and then polish/chrome any parts i can

I'll get it dyno'd once it's in to see what kind of power it's running.

[leeparkes]

i've heard internals don't need to be touched upto 450bhp

Try 550bhp

Nice one Imy but spend the little extra and get it mapped 'properly'

Whats happening with the cab? last i saw it was in bits. or is it going in the cab?

Niiiiiceeeee I'm not looking for mad power, anything between 300 and 400 would be nice enough

Yeah that's one of the main things i want to be done 100% correct no matter how much it costs me.

I've put it back together, gonna book it in for MOT probably end of this week and take it from there really. It could be going in the cab or something else...... who knows

[chris_335]

put it in.

and hurry

gotta see that thing go

gunna be a bit nuts

[initial_g]

oooh nooo xs turbo!!! i used eat those at a rate of one per 2000 miles dont go above 5-6 psi on that turb m8! looking good anyway m8y il pop down and take alook dude

[bss325i]

I personally would not put 400BHP through a cabrio.

[Cloggy Saint]

I wouldn't put 400BHP under ImysE30

[Rav335uk]
