    M30 E30 official roll call thread

    Have you completed an M30 conversion in your E30? Are you knee-deep in the conversion?
    Register yourself here. This way you will know who to bounce ideas off of!

    I will start:

    87 335is

    Location: Portland OR
    M30B35 (from 88 635csiA)
    Euro M635 lightweight flywheel (85 M635)
    Getrag 280 transmission (88 M5)
    Shift linkage, unsure, came out of parts bin.
    Modified E36 M3 driveshaft (98 M3)
    3.46 LSD (from 87 635csiA)
    Motor Mounts, Home made, and going into production.
    Joe Funk -- Portland Oregon

    I'm gathering parts.

    JBR flywheel 8.5#
    G265 transmission (E12 5er)

    Hope I can start early June.

                          1. Short stroke 335i ,
                          Housed in a 320i ´88 , was my first M30 swap,
                          Motronic 1.3 conversion,
                          M10 transmission,
                          320i ´88 driveshaft,
                          Spec Stage III M10 clutch,
                          3.73 LSD ,

                          Was an awesome plaything,

                          I´m doing one right now for a guy.
                          Here is the mod list .

                          Suspension :
                          THR CAB´s
                          Koni shocks front
                          Alko shocks in back
                          KW thin wire race springs. 475/515lbs

                          Wheels and tires :
                          CR7 "17x8.5
                          CR7 "17x9.5
                          215/45-17
                          245/35-17

                          Drivetrain :
                          BMW 320i manual driveshaft
                          BMW 318i M10 transmission
                          Spec Stage III 215mm clutch
                          lightened M10 flywheel (6kg´s cirka)
                          Shoftshifter

                          Engine configuration :
                          M90/M30 B35 call it what you want but it´s a short stroke 3.5 ´80
                          ´91 B35 Cam
                          ´91 Front timing wheel and sensor
                          ´91 distributor setup
                          ´94 M3 Variable TPS
                          ´91 E32 Oil pan and pickup
                          ´80 287cc B35 Injectors

                          Oil Catch Tank setup.
                          Custom Exhaust Dual "2.25 into a Stock E30 M3 rear muffler,
                          E28 Radiator
                          Electric fan
                          Poly Motor mounts
                          Head is completely reconditioned

                          Engine management :
                          XMS V3 Standalone
                          Semi Sequental injection
                          30 AMP Ignition amplifier feeding a stock coil,
                          Wideband with closed loop options,
                          Fuel is TPS vs RPM vs MAP.

                          If everything turns out well it should crank out more then 230hp and hopefully 330nm´s,

                          Pics :
