    M30B35 E30 vert swap

    After selling my M90 for a fortune, decided to buy an M30B35.


    She's can't wait.


    On the way to her new home.


    Mirrorheaders


    Must-haves for M30 engines. 284s.


    Some earrings.


    An old-skool powerboost.

    Will be driving it for a year before I turbo her ass up to 400 at the wheels.

        Nice one!

        Put it on the dyno after the swap - would like to see the difference just headers, cam and a chip makes.

          I'm running the same setup minus the cam. Hoping to pick one up soon though.

            I know your over seas so it may not be the same, but that Dinan chip is a carb legal chip. While its still a great chip. When they made it carb legal they took fuel out of it down low so your not unleashing its full potential in the low rpm range. I was going to buy that chip as well but heard about that and decided to go with a Mark D chip for my cam'd m30 so i didn't starve the cam of its precious fuel.

              Shite, how much do those Mark D chips go for?
              I'll drive it with stock chip and install the Dinan chip later. If I notice negative effect I'll go for another one.

                Head is off for resurface and more.
                Perfect moment for this:

                        They're Schmiedmann headers.
                        Ordered from them
