Thank you so much honestly man makes me feel so much better to know someone understands, honestly man I just wanted some help to do this right. I plan on keeping the car for life and treating it with respect I've owned multiple m3's my e9x being my flagship car and most of my friends hold current records on that platform which I am involved in but can provide no help on e30's I'm 29 and established with a 1 year old boy who I hope to share and pass to all of this someday so honest help means a lot shit I paid 300 for the car and I'm not some idiot whose gonna burn it to the ground I want to build it to its potential. Where can I contact the guy you stated about the transmission? Thank you.

Hey everyone has there own opinion, your car do what want with it. In my book I'd rather see it built properly and enjoyed rather then see it in the hands of a some 17 year kid who's parents bought for them and they cut the exhaust and springs and go "drifting" and smash it a month later. You laugh but I feel like this happens to a lot of e30s.

Anyway this is the link for ppf, they have been in the game for along time and know that it takes to build a 800hp m20.
You will need to do some translating but I've worked with them a lot and they have awesome customer service.

Bimmerheads is in the states and does some very nice work although I personally dont know if they done much with big power m20's, maybe someone knows them better.

Also if you want a badass transmission to shave some time of the quarter talk to nisse Järnet he offers a dct conversion.

If you think using an absolutely minty fresh E30 as the start for a 9 sec drag car is a good idea, perhaps you need to look elsewhere for like minded folk. While we love modifying our cars, we generally prefer to preserve the nicest ones.

Thank you I appreciate the opinion, I will continue to hunt for the information I need.

Why on earth would you try to build a 9 second E30 out of what appears to be a truly cherry car? You’re going to have to destroy the shell modifying it to get enough grip, and you’ll probably end up cutting apart the front end to get the kind of large scale turbo plumbing that you’d need to get near a thousand at the crank.

This.


You should consider selling that E30 to someone who will appreciate it for what it is, and finding one better suited for what you want to accomplish.

What they said. Sell it for a nice number, and get something a bit more project grade for cheaper, use the rest of the money for modifications.

[Strykn_Fox89]

With an attitude like that, I’m sure that you’ll be able to get lots of good advice!

I've been respectful to the wisdom of others and I am very grateful for everyone's opinions, all I am asking for Is guidance, is that so wrong??? No one can disagree to how the BMW forums are looked at, the truth hurts but it is what it is. I'm just here to help others and obtain help myself and share my passion with like minded people.

Same reason anyone builds performance cars, because they want to or its their dream to push a platform, I am not here to debate unfortunately that has become a BMW cliche at this point. People get more info off import forums because BMW enthusiast are now known as "Douche Bags" who dont offer solution they just debate and spit useless information. I don't need peanut gallery opinion I need advice on how to do what it is I want to do.

If you want to accomplish a build like this, you're going to need to learn to be a lot more self sufficient in your research. No one can spoon feed you an 800hp turbo M20 build. You have years of research, thousands of dollars in development cost/iterations, and a whole lot of blood/sweat/tears ahead of you in a project like this.

Makes sense and I absolutely agree I spent many years into my e92 to get to the numbers I'm pushing now, I'm not asking to be spoon fed, I'm asking for the wisdom of others who have the same passion and have a better knowledge of the platform then I do hence the point of a forum to begin with, everyone has to start somewhere what's the point of being here? To jerk off to other people cars? Not me I'm asking for guidance so I don't make the same mistakes as others and can share my dream and work with others and help them to. I hardly think asking for help to find what I need "not putting in the work" because its the reason I am asking so I can. This is a platform I am new to and as I've done for others on my plateform I'm here for guidance Thank you.
