late model 318 w/ turbo m50 on megasquirt..... an OG car FS
***AVAILABALE AGAIN **** SEE LAST POST FOR UPDATE ON THE FOR SALE THEREAD!!!! NEW PICTURES TO COME THIS WEEKEND TO SHOW OFF NEW WORK
I hate to see it go and it def needs some body work and a better interior to make it the car the rest of these turbo e30's are, but this is one reliable turbo e30. I've been daily driving it for months and taken it on 4+ hour road trips. outside replacing the small case diff once it has needed nothing. it runs 7 psi controlled by Megasquirt on a m50NV motor. GC street kit and camber plates. 3.25 LSD and powder coated cover. AKG red subrframe bushings. custom short shift kit that's really nice. AEM wideband gauge. really unique under hood intercooled turbo setup for OEM appearance. Hella smoked crosshairs headlights. tinted tails. newish snow tires and comes with a pair of drag radials. lots more and plenty of spare parts to pass along.
here's the build thread
6500 OBO
The Good:
-m50 nonvanos motor swap
-custom top mount log manifold from sch40 steel
-Turbonetics 57trim T04E
-Turbonetics deltagate wastegate ----very nice because of large diaphragm for E.B.C.
-DSM blowoff valve and custom chargpiping for underhood air to air intercooler setup
-Megasquirt 2 Standalone ECU with Electronic Boost Control and wired setup for wasted spark using all BMW OEM sensors except IAT and wideband AEM O2
-Proven reliable map for safe daily operation
-Ground control street coilover kit with __NEW___Koni S/A
-Ground Control adjustable camber plates
-Custom built short shift kit with new bushings--really nice
-AKG Race subframe bushings brand new
-Stewart high performance water pump
- Recently replaced 3.25 medium case LSD w/ powder coated red cover
-custom carbon fiber interior gauge panel for boost and AEM wideband gauges
-Supersprint rear muffler section
-Hella smoked Euro Crosshair headlights
-Euro front grills
-Smoked taillights
-newish front rotors and pads
-4 newish snow tires and 2 spare fun tires plus a good condition full sized spare tire
-I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff here
The Bad:------NEARLY ALL FIXED NOW-----see notes
-Heavy passenger rear quarter panel damage
-dings and dents all the way around the chassis
-no vaccum assist brakes or ABS - under boost the check valve went bad and blew the e21 booster- i actually like it more now. Has a great braking feel and car is small enough you still lock all four tires up without crazy effort _____FIXED_____!!!
-exhaust leaks from wastegate v-band where it rejoins the downpipe and where the downpipe meets the mid section (needs the vbands redone and a flex pipe welded in) and definitely isnt a quiet ride ______FIXED______
-cracked dashboard
-tired and worn out interior ______COMPLETE INTERIOR REDONE BLACK SPORT LEATHER W/ NEW CARPET_____
-gauge cluster for Tach and temp is unreliable. Seems to cut in and out when it desires. i use a tablet with the full MS2 readout whenever I drive but any windows laptop with a USB would work. ______FULLY RESOLVED________
-rear left turn signal does same thing, works 90% of the time. You hit a bad bump and then thinks the bulb is out. hit another bump it works again
THE NEW___
-new Koni s/a's all around
-newAKB bushings up front
-modified front strut housings
-new GC 550/750 springs
-fully built custom head MLS .140 head gasket ARP and custom cams installed
lots of new parts included---brand new fenders, ix skirt skit, etc. etc.
thanks for checking it out.
