Alright to start things off, i bought my first e30 (87 325e) right about a year ago and i was hooked. Soon i found out the motor in my car was already a stroker but running on motronic 1.0 wtf? So swapped in motronic 1.3, I intake, 19# injectors, timing belt, water pump, Power steering and A/C delete, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I like the power but i want more. i want boost.
So with $450 dollars in my pocket, i start collecting engines.
First, 2 eta engines. One complete, the other just the block and rotating assembly along with two engine stands for 300
Next, a complete I with auto trans from an m-tech vert with only 130k on it for 150 bucks. Oh and the guy also had two super clean m-tech 2 alpineweiss verts. so jealous.
Anyways, the plan is just a basic rebuild and prep for boost as of right now. I am reading Maximum Boost by Corkey Bell at the moment so as i am building the engine i will be choosing the right parts for everything to work in harmony.
As of right now, the plan is:
eta crank
eta rods
I pistons
balance rotating assembly
new rings, bearings, and seals
clean up the block/head surfaces
O-ring block
30# injectors
PnP megasquirt
and a few other misc things before the full turbo setup is figured out
Here are a few pics of my setup right now
