Just watched the full vid and must say brilliant video it is.

Did the car start leaning out at the top of th rev range or was that because the guy lifted the throttle?

Nice power band as well.

 

that was throttle lift off. the turbo was hitting it flow limit at that power

 

I have 1000cc injectors with full aeromotive pump, regulators ect. so we have no problems there. but even though the boost was dropping, the power was still going up. im really keen to see the difference with the new larger turbo;)

I am impressed i would love to see this in the flesh!! I do love the E30's

[Multics]

Very very cool

Awesome car mate and cool video

Thought so.

A slightly larger turbo should run more efficiently and create lower temps which should help the boost/power as well.

Brilliant project and keep us posted.

Very nice car indeed, Hats off to you mate, and your skills.

Nice vid that turbo looked well hot

[mrgee2jz]

Great project, well executed from what I can see here. I like engine transplants, especially into relatively small and light shells. Any more detailed photos of this conversion please?

 

Ill try putting some more pics up in a bit. there are sooo many pics though. what ill do is maybe a step by step with a little comment on each one:)

[mrgee2jz]

I never thought that it was possible to fit such a heavy lump into a 3 series BMW and make it still handle well

 

This is a truly remarkable piece of craftsmanship

 

WOW

 

Thanks for the comments. I was originally going to go V12 twin turbo. but that would have been slightly heavy:blink:

 

So i went 2jz = more power + lighter.

 

Still behaves itself but can and will slide big time!

 

Handles very well indeed BUT you must be fully aware and awake to drive this thing, othrwise just stay in bed because you will wish you did after you drove it.

excellent work there, hats off to you

Jeez, you sure like cutting `oles in things! I bet you liked opening the sardine tin as a kid

 

A vast amount of work there, I feel knackered just thinking about what you have done, I admire that a lot.

You can do it as a slide show or copy and paste each img code.

An awesome project, I'm still scrolling through your pics but you have my admiration for the work that's been put into this. I've had 8 E30's over the year and am a big fan. Always loved the way they drove, but never liked the lack of power. I guess you've solved that little issue once and for all with this project

There's no easy way to add them directly to the forum unless using the slideshow (not optimal) option.

 

If you go to each picture in your photo albulm there is an window in the lower left pane named "IMG Code", click into this, copy/paste that here to get the image to appear.

 

When you reply it'll display like this:

Thanks mate, i would love to do that but i dont have the time or energy. but i may have solved it.

 

Funny you say that, i drove a 325i motorsport and it felt like the slowest car in the world!, but when i was 17 i crapped myself in my first 325

 

I made links to the slideshow and you can click the images at the bottom of the page. looks pritty cool too:)

Amazing project mate. Fair play to you on committing to such a task. Great work

No worries fella, It takes a lot of time to post up images in sequence on any forum.

 

My last E30 was a 325i Sport when I was 19 (13 years ago!), handled rather well and a hoot to drive (rebuilt the entire suspension with new parts, spent thousands on it, then sold it for next to nothing). Still, had no power at all which kind of killed off the E30 for me. Great when you're a young 'un but it's not so much fun on the roads these days, much moooar power needed

 

Are you planning on developing the car further beyond the larger turbo? What have you done/planning to do suspension wise to make it handle all those extra horses and different weight distribution?

I dont think i will, It has KW V3 coilovers for a Z3M installed and H&R anti roll bars. Handles really well, maybe racelogic is needed. but has soo much power that it will happily spin to 120mph, (without trying) thats with 285/30/18's installed at the rear. i want to get it corner weighted though. ive kept it as much as a normal car as possible. e.g. ice, and interior. i must dig up pictures of the fuel setup and boot ice install.

[trinitom]

if i wad the money and facilities to do something like this, i would do it on a Ford Capri.

i love them!

 

very nice car, and well done!

[steady_dave]

That's actually quite cool!
