M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert!

[G-Man the Visionary]

It easily hits 140 with the top down. I plan to test what it will do on a 2/3 mile runway

Not too sure how accurate it was, but the other day I was at 142 in my death trap... Fun, but scary, had to back off... The perks of going in to work at 4 am.

I bet you'll hit it in half the time and yours is probably way safer too. lol

My balls are no where big enough to hit 200mph!

At least not in an e30 on a 3000ft runway.

Holy shit this thing is gonna hit 200mph! STAND BY...

Don't think a helmet will help if I go upside down, no top remember.

[LJ851]

Wear a helmet.

I would be honestly curious what a 400hp e30 would go top speed wise, vert might play into aero but I wouldnt be a bit surprised if with a hardtop it would exceed 160mph.

I think the gearing and torque will have a lot to do with speed. And I am running a 2.93S diff.

I just got invited to do some test and tuning on my car at a local municipal airport with a 3000ft runway. Shenanigans will happen!

If e85 does to bmw motors what it does to every other motor the power will be way more.

I am heading to the shop after lunch and the only goals I have for today are check and install the TPS and Tidy up the shop a little bit. Should be a good day at the shop, I left my schedule open for today just incase something catastrophic happened at the dyno yesterday.

I am looking forward to being able to see the TPS data on the logs. It will allow me to do so much more as far as fine tuning and idle control.

[LJ851]

Make sure you check the operation of the switch, i clipped that off a non running car.

[RagtopE30]

^That is happening today. I have had it on my short list forever! LOL

[LJ851]

Great results!

You got that TPS wired in? If so, did it improve the way the car drives?

A friend sent me a video he took. The sound is not the best of quality but here is the most (Thankfully) uneventful 400+ rwhp pull ever!
