    E30 M30 Turbo Build Thread...

    What's up guys? I guess it's time i start making one of these seeing how i have gotten all my parts together and with warmer weather coming soon, the build will start.

    Here's the goal. 1990 325is, m30b35 swap, 500whp reliably on e85.

    Here is the build list:

    Megasquirt 2
    Innovate LC-2
    1000CC Low Z injectors
    Dual Bosch 044 Fuel Pumps
    GoodNTight T4 Turbo Manifold
    Holset HX50
    HKS SSQV 4 Blow Off Valve
    Tial 44mm Wastegate
    Intercooler
    3" Exhaust
    Cometic MLS Headgasket
    ARP Head Studs

    Now onto some pictures....

    Here is the car, those terrible wheels are coming off as soon as i can get a little warmer weather.


    And some parts....













    Thats pretty much it for now, i'll update as progress happens.

      No, not yet. Goodntight is making over 500whp and 600ft/lbs tq on a stock bottom end. He has a b34 motor though, so if this bottom end grenades, i'll be building up a b34 block. I'm not expecting any issues at these levels with a good tune.

        Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can hit 500whp based on your setup, especially e85..

        Good luck :)

            Do the higher power level turbo m30's (say 500 whp) suffer any more lag or loss of throttle response than those with say 300-400 whp which I imagine can be minimized with attention to detail?

              Lag is all a factor of turbo sizing just like any other turbo application.

                Not much work being done yet, installed the oil temp, oil pressure, coolant temp, and egt gauges. Still need to wire in the sensors.


                Also my Spec Stage 5 clutch arrived today. Supposed to be good for 600 ft/lbs of torque.

                  Damn a sintered iron clutch disc on the street is pretty aggressive! The hotter they get the more they grab!

                    I wanted to get something i knew would hold, i didn't want to have to go back in and replace a slipping clutch. The car is not a daily driver so i'm not too worried.

                      I now see where this is going.
