Slightly Overbuilt E30 2014

Autos are no fun yes they are faster but no fun on the street...im sure Donavan still rips that beast around the street when he pleases.

[BMWSOB]

Definitely not. I do have a transmission solution that is in the works. Hopefully getting that going soon.

[Me+SPEED=]

Have you thought about going automatic with a c4?

BMWSOB, care to share pics of your glove box compartment?

Theres one shot of the start of redoing the wiring. It currently has flying leads flying everywhere with cleaning stuff up.

It's wild that the ZF can handle low 9's. Equally wild that you're running a conventional stickshift into the low 9's and shifting it yourself.
Are you running a 188 diff too? (I thought 3.15 only came in 210's, but could be wrong)
What's your 60 foot?

Z3M subframe & arms or something wilder?

What other head gasket options have you tried previously?



If you need an oil separator, I just heard about a Mann & Hummel ProVent... literally industrial grade. And it only comes in black.

Have you tried gapless rings?

I thought I wrote up a response for this but I guess I didn't post it..


The trans doesn't handle the power to well. It'sonly good for aa few passes until it starts making noise. The diff is a 188, comes stock in the mz3. Subframe is stock e30. Mz3 trailing arms.

I've had stainless of rings and a copper "ics" titan gasket. I liked that set up but it isn't as servicable.

As far as the puke tank it's more about capacity during an engine failure than separating oil vapor.

Looks like a lot of my old threads have all the pictures messed up and that tells most of the story.

The engine is a 2.9 M52, 85mm pistons, eagle rods, supertech valve springs, custom tubular twin scroll manifold, 80mm triple ball bearing comp turbo, custom driven innovations intake manifold.

Stand alone is aem series 2 honda box, m&w cdi. 2000cc injectors, twin a1000 pumps,

ZF 5 speed with a clutch masters 850 twin disc, custom one piece drive shaft, drive shaft shop m coupe axles, 3.15 lsd with increased lock up. 26x10x15 et drags and front runners. Cage is good for 8.50

Best 1/4 mile is a 9.2@159mph

The manifold has more volume, velocity stacks, tapered runners, larger throttle body. Crankcase breather is where the oil goes if you have too much blow by or if you melt a piston. Loose rings normally have a little more blow by than stock setups. Hopefully this thing will be able to hold most of it if the pistons melt.

Its over 1000 at the wheels on a dynojet, just never had the car on one. I think Mike might be upgrading his dyno so maybe one day!

[TheTacoMan]

Very cool, this goes beyond my basic turbo setup. Looking forward to when you break 1k hp!

What were the advantages to have the manifold style you have now versus stock and what such a big crank case breathe? Im not familiar with using them at all.

[BMWSOB]

So one of the things I wanted to was build a bigger crank breather. NHRA spec is supposed to be a minimum of 1 gallon so I built mine a little bigger than that. I only had the engine pop like that once and it immediately filled the 1qt moroso breather and overflowed it..
Lots of magic inside, idk if it will work but maybe!




Any color as long as its black.

I don't know more history of this build/car than what I've seen in this thread...

Got a link of a quick/dirty on the build?
S52B32? Bore/stroke? Stock crank?
Trans type?
Best 1/4 mile so far? (Or is it built for standing mile?)
