Want to do an M30 swap

[JoeMadoo]

Here's a teaser. First drive, kinda tuned.

I'm running fuel and spark but I'm still have problems getting the "right" version of megatune to talk to my megasquirt.

I can loosen the bolts so that the oil pan drops, but they stay there.


Here's a video of it kinda running. Sounds like a Harley because there's only 4 inches of exhaust.

It stopped it self. Still trying to make it idle with the magical megasquirt, and it's being extremely difficult.

Are you running fuel and spark?

Just keep dicking around with your ASE and your VE table.....

Will you be able to get that bolt for the oil pan out with that flange in the way?

Keep it up!

[Doughnut]

It officially ran for about 3 seconds...

Huh? Did you stop it or did it stop itself? What happened?

No SMIC? Seems like you have room for one.

Eventually I'll get a fmic but for now i'll enjoy some non intercooled boost :)

Anyway to angle your oil drain pipe up a little to it doesn't sit in that elbow/braided hose? Is it even a problem?

Doesn't seem like a problem, I dunno how I would angle it up though...

It's looking great!

Some updates. Engines ready to fire up, just gotta figure out the megasquirt.

745i intake and charge pipes


2.5" universal charge pipes from the turbo

[JoeMadoo]

Those intake tubes look way taller in the other pic. That will prolly fit easier since the AFM isnt up there

The engine was straight up and down in the other pic, thats probably why.

This thing took me the better part of a day to get in but I like the way it fits.

Broken distributor cap :(

Progess, who needs a vacation on spring break when you got a turbo'd m30 right?











Still need fmic, injectors, and a wideband o2
