M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert!

[RagtopE30]

Here is the 3" exhaust I finished up today. It starts at a 3.5" down pipe then reduces to a 3". I am using a 22" Magnaflow resonator/glass pack in the middle of the exhaust and I finished it up with a Flowmaster 70 series muffler. I wrapped the down pipe and don't worry the Turbo Delete is only for break in purposes. Once the engine gets it's break-in oil change out of the way and the clutch is broken in I will be pulling the down pipe to weld in the wastegate piping and the turbo will be installed. Also I will be adding a couple of V-bands in the system for ease of future maintenance.






And a couple of exhaust note videos, If you have earphones use them because even though my iPotato has a crappy camera the microphones do a great job capturing the sound. Note how quick it revs!!!!





And I will leave you with a pic of the car sitting next to one of her friends. Sexy ladies!

^Hey jim325, do you have a dyno chart from your M30 turbo ?

[jim325]

Cleaning PS pumps, its what I do.

[RagtopE30]

Thanks to Jim325 for coming up today and lending a hand! I have never ever ever ever seen a power steering pump as clean as mine is now thanks to him. And he reenergized my motivation for this build by taking me for a ride in his underwear staining bad ass Turbo M30 swapped e30. OH MY GAWD!!!

Anyways. With his help we knocked out a few items on my to-do list including: mounting the power steering pump and alternator, cleaning and resealing the 2.93S diff, reinstalling diff, replacing the CSB and then reinstalling the drive shaft and heat shields. We also got the shifter linkage in place. Oh and test fitted the wastegate.

Picture time

^This car is far from a vulva, thank you very much! :)

The intercooler is from a mid 90's Volvo 960 turbo

What intercooler is that, seems so perfect.
