This is mine, haven't had a chance to rewrap the harness yet, and still doing some tweaking. Hoping to acquire an e28 radiator soon.

This is an updated picture of the engine bay on my e30 (see 1st post) before I sold it two years ago. You can see I fine tuned the intake setup slightly.



Christ I regret selling that car...

The theme is Max Mad so that's why the blower scoop

Oh man... SHAKER FTW!

Yes - I know the bay looks like crap but we have to keep it that way for Lemons and Chumps. Yes - I know it's a b34 (had 4 laying around the shop) but what you don't see is a new fully ported head, b35 cam, complete engine rebuild, scraper/windage tray, Miller War Chip and MAF.
When the car was on the dyno we used the factory m20 air box after the 4 pull we finally saw the intake hose collapsing so we upped to a larger K/N cone - much better results.

Thanks Doughnut - since doing the swap, I managed to source a G260/5 with e28 single mass flywheel & 240mm clutch, so if the G240 eventually dies (or the clutch wears out) I'll go over to a more conventional setup. So far it has been all good.

Cheers for the contribution lukeADE335i, interesting flywheel/clutch and gearbox choice.

Be sure to chase the front cover for your spark plug wires (it does fit), I bought one new from the dealer for around $35! But I'm sure you can find one at your junk yard, just keep an eye out - really neatens the engine bay up!

n3nyongmini, you went with the auto huh?! Nice work with the e34 coolant bottle too!

Keep them coming lads!

Almost ready to start up for first time. It's a very low mileage m30b35 so I didn't mess with cleaning up any of the finishes. I like the aged aluminum.

Coupled to an 4hp22 just for grins and traffic.
