Here are a few pics of my E30 from Australia. It has a Linkplus G3 ecu to control the engine and vvti. No dyno as yet but expect to be around 180-200rwkw. (these engines are 220kw at the flywheel standard, but with extractors, exhaust and ecu it should be quite a bit more than that!) It is so nice to drive, very torquey and loves to rev! I would have preferred to use a BMW engine, but it would have been out of my very strict budget. Everything, including making mounts, adaptor plates for transmission, wiring, custom extractors and exhaust have been done by myself.

Mandrel bends welded, and just high temp header paint.
