M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert!

Dude you are making me reconsider FI.

I have already set an appointment to go back after fixing a few things such as the coil wire problem.... I'm thinking GM coil packs. Oh and a larger fuel pump or dual 255 pumps. I'm now determined to break 500 whp and 575 wtq. It would be awesome to break 600 wtq but I don't think I can do that on 93 octane.

You'll do it EZ. 500hp no freaking problem.

Time for meth?

[RagtopE30]

No meth. I'll make that power on pump gas.

How's she running? Any further tweaks planned?

[RagtopE30]

so my current plan is to pull the engine back out to address a couple issues such as the slipping stage 3+ clutch. The clutch itself is fine but I have apparently exceeded its capabilities. And I am going to disassemble the block so that I can have it O-ringed. The MLS headgaskets are ok but with the way I drive and the lack of higher octane ethanol they dont last.... High horsepower problems, I know I know! So I am going to spend the next few weeks accumulating funds and getting the iX street ready so I can daily it. Then the heart is coming back out of the green beast for tear down and upgrades. I also plan on doing some further exhaust mods and hood mod for some easily changeable flame throwing short pipes.

Oh not to mention the hardtop is going to be finally painted

And wasted spark is happening when it all goes back together

And flipping the throttle body

yeah..... things are going to be happening.

[Bearmw]

Dang.

With all that torque are you feeling any body flex?

[LowR3V'in]

So the headgasket blew or what?

[blads99]

Read the whole thread.

Nice build. Seems like a lot of fun.
Owning an m42 I couldn't even imagine what kind of thrills you get.

Great work!

I have another head gasket issue but there were circumstances that lead to it and not entirely unavoidable. But I do beat the living shit out of the car so I am not to upset. It's hard to ask a car making that much power to assume daily driver status and still drive it like you stole it everyday.

How much power did new turbo end up making?
