Considering M30 swap

[LowR3V'in]

How many torques can the stock clutch/pp hold btw?

[RickSloan]

the stock e30 throttle cable will work great on the b34
i used an e34 m5 pan and pump
and replace everything clutch related before you install unless you want to get real good at pulling the motor and trans in and out.

[RickSloan]

oh and for the brake booster, like said you either need to find one from a car that used a vacuum booster or just drill and tap the bottom of the plenum and put in a fitting. Was super easy and took only a little bit. Just make sure you clean all the shavings out real real good.

[kronus]

Sounds good. Motor is almost mine.


However, a problem potentially arises. RickSloan, did you have to modify the B34 head in some way? The dude I'm buying the motor from mentioned something like this, but was unsure about it.

[RickSloan]

not at all, its the fire wall you have to "massage" a bit. You can put the b35 head on but your compression gets to low. Just get a big hammer and take out some aggression. The only annoying part about this is you have to take the motor and trans in and out a couple times until you make sure you have enough room in all the right places.

Sounds like a fun time. If I use the E28 radiator, I can use the E28 rad hoses with no problem, right?

Also, recommendations for an aux fan?

Dude, we are just gonna beat the everlovin fuck out of your firewall once.

You may need to shorten/lengthen some of the hoses, but in general nothing too bad.

Are you keeping ac?

Also, look at pics of other peoples firewall modifications to see the general area that you need to hit in.

"The firewall" seems like a good general area to hit in :P

I'm going to attempt to keep AC. My current AC compressor is new and r134a, so I'm going to try to fit it on the M30.

If you want, you can do that part while I weep silently in the corner and nurse a pbr.


;)

[RickSloan]

"the firewall" is a good place to aim lol, its mostly the area where the head it going to be and you can massage the whole tunnel just to make bringing things in and out easier. I now have a small lump by my gas peddle and on the passengers side cause i got a little carried away...

seriously tho dont be a pansy about it, your gonna have to hit it pretty good, let farbin have a good time ;)

oh and all the hoses work great, just have to shorten the l shaped one a bit to fit.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I will be taking all the aggression of never getting my e30 back on the road on that shiny white paint.

[Miasma]

I may be getting a B35 with 5 speed from a E34 dropped in my lap within the next month for cheap.

M30 Euro bumper MtechII cabbie hotness here I come.

[kronus]

Euro bumper and Mtech II? Interesting.

[Miasma]

Well just the front and rear valences and door pods and wing. Haven't sourced the actual MtechII bumpers since I already had euros that I was gonna put on my 87' before it got wrecked.

Actually I don't even know if they will go together, If not the MtechII kit will go on the Bay. I love the euro bumpers too much.
