Euro M30 almost done!! a few pics...

[M3 Ryan]

Hey guys-
I am almost done with my Euro M30. I should finish it friday if there are no more issues that need attending to.
Details:
3453cc Euro Bottom End (short stroke, big bore= big rev's)
14lb flywheel (stock is 24lbs)
E34 intake manifold (best flow)
E34 camshaft (best duration)
dual valve springs
3-angle valve-job
Deves piston rings (cast iron)
Knurled pistons to take up clearance from honing
all new bearings, seals, oil pump, water pump, clutch, dist cap/rotor
polished timing cover/dist housing.
K&N cone intake (with heatshield)
Borla Exhaust
Chip with 6,800 RPM rev-limiter (low for what this motor can do)
This motor should put around 200+hp to the rear wheels.

I plan to install this during my class next week, hopefully have it running by friday.

Enjoy!

That looks awesome, what class are you in?

[M3 Ryan]

it's an engine rebuilding class at Santa Barbara City College. Its part of my auto-tech program for becomming a BMW Tech. It has been worthwhile thus far, I got to rebuild an engine for my own car and it has just cost me the parts ($1,200 total).

AWESOME. Thats all I have to say.

Awesome Ryan, it looks great. There are VERY few engines that look better than BMW's straight-sixes.

Ryan, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new motor, in comparison to the original motor in your 5er (after it's broken in). Do you have a local shop to dyno at? Looking forward to the numbers.

Party on.

Josh, you got it!
