Building my first E30:D! I haven't had the engine running in the new shell so I plan on doing the standalone, intake, radiator swap and coil packs this year and boosting it next winter. I'm going to run a haltech (not sure what model) ecu and I think it will be easier to figure out my base tune and get familiar with it before the turbo. The engine is from and '87 and the shell is a 92 so I have already been fighting that.
1) Cooling-I'm picking up a mishimoto radiator for the late model and going to figure out the hoses later.
2)Intake-I'm a little lost here found a CX racing aluminum intake elbow on ebay wondering if anyone has experience with these. I don't think the stock one will hold boost.
3)Ignition-I'm thinking of picking up some used LS coils, the haltech has the outputs to run all 6.
I have an AEM wideband on order, gauge holder for the vents (oil pressure, boost, AFR)
I'm basically doing everything now except for the turbo and intercooler. I want to test out the tuner and drive the car a little before the boost but i dont want to have to change a lot or do things twice.
Any input is appreciated let me know if you are running something different.
