Please PM me if you're interested, I will not be checking this thread.
Car is located in Austin, TX.
$2000 OBO.
I've got my NON-RUNNING turbocharged 325is project car up for sale.
In short:
1988 325is, black, needs a bit of work aesthetically.
260k on car, 0 miles on bottom end, 5k miles on refreshed top end.
2.8L stroker motor, o-ringed block, 8.5:1 compression ratio.
Holset 16cm H1C turbocharger.
FMIC, 2.5" piping.
3" exhaust, Borla muffler, no cat.
Megasquirt plug-and-play ECU (not working)
LC-1 Wideband (not working).
H&R sport springs, Bilstien sport shocks.
Turbo-xs style BOV.
Spec stage 3 clutch.
6psi wastegate spring currently installed for break-in, comes with 10psi spring. Open dump.
30lb injectors.
"Basketweave" rims with Falken Azeni RT615 tires (almost new tread).
I've owned this car for about 7 years. It has been a project almost all that time. After it was turbocharged I used it as a daily driver, took it autocrossing/drag-strip/track racing, and I enjoyed it immensely. But a few years ago I fell in love with motorcycles and the car stop getting used very frequently I have absolutely no interest in putting any of my leisure time into working on a project I no longer have a passion for. It would only take a little money and a little time to have a monster, but it just feels like a chore at this point, so I am letting it go.
Here is a build log I did many years ago.
(Warning - many pictures)
It should answer most, if not all, of the questions about the setup. The only real change since that was written was the switch from mechanical fuel compensation to stand-alone fuel
management (see below).
NOT RUNNING. I went out of the country for many months and foolishly forgot to disconnect the battery. It died, taking the Megasquirt ECU with it ( and likely the wideband). Luckily it's a plug-and-play ECU setup, so another Megaquirt ECU should bolt/plug right in, but the tuning would be up to you.
Engine is newly gone through, just installed new rings, bearings, gaskets and re-honed the cylinders. 2.8L stroker motor.
Head - m20b25 head, new camshaft. Looked over and checked out by Brooks-Elliot cylinder heads.
Block - m20b27 block with s-eta pistons and o-ringed cylinders done by Precision Engine Services.
Only has a few minutes of run-time. Essentially brand-new.
Battery is brand new.
No A/C (intercooler piping goes there).
Comes with a "tuning laptop" (aka a laptop so old it has a serial port).
Exterior is not so great. Takes pictures OK but there are many small imperfections.
Interior is good. No cracks in the dashboard. Driver's seat is trashed but custom-fitted seat covers make them look new (see pictures).
Car will come with a vast assortment of e30 spare parts that will be included with the car. I don't want them in the garage anymore.
Please PM me if you are interested, I'm not going to be checking this thread.
Once again, please see the build log for specific questions regarding the motor/turbo.
