Things left to do for the e30...Zen/Mason.

Noted... Oil pan baffles with slosh gates is something we can do well.

how about baffled pans for m20? cheaper alternative to a crank scraper.

From what I've found, the M/S5X swaps use the E34 M50 pump and pan...which work alright for the US motors but are a big compromise for the S50 Euro and S54...which have the semi-dry sump dual oil pickup arrangement. Granted, I haven't done a swap yet, or flogged one around a track, but it would seem to me that relocating the oil pump/pickup could cause oil starvation, and especially for the Euro motors.

I would be all over a swap baffle/euro-S50-ish setup....once I get to the swap part of the project.

For M50 ** Swaps...

Are these guys using the stock oil pickup?

YES we are laboring to design new items for E30 chassis on a daily basis -exciting new stuff is in the works....

Speaking of which...

We need to go back out to Area 51 and steal another flying saucer to salvage...

We are almost out of Unobtainium.

ill contribute. though its not specifically e30, im sure it could be marketed with some success.

how about a baffle kit for the e34 m50 pan?

Hmmm.

E30 r&d bits & pieces

jesus christ guys can you not just appreciate someone who spends tons of time and money to make new things for our old pieces of shit? would you rather everyone just stop making aftermarket parts for us so we end up looking and handling the exact same way? i completely understand that you guys want numbers, but if none are given, shut the fuck up and dont buy anything. i have brought up similar situations with Massive Lee and he doesnt have any "data" either but everyone seems to worship whatever he comes up with. i can't believe daniel has put up with all you assholes but i for one am glad he continues with his work

I think the TEHRUFF post guy was upset and angered as his enchanting romantic gay overtures were soundly rejected

Brake cooling we covered: http://bmwzenperformance.com/e30-products-2.html

A large cap?



Make it from Un-Obtainium and stress tested to Mach 5?

How does that link up to my car?

[DCColegrove]

Perhaps some brake cooling device?
A large cap., finned diff cover?

Just throwing some stuff out there.

Ok then. How about a license plate frame cross brace?

[der affe]

SP TOOOLS, SIR TOOLS, and BAUM TOOLS all make one it is called a FWD engine support

[george graves]

Ah, rats. I've seen them, but never for sale.

Since oil pan plates have been done, how about a tool for changing oil pans?

Something that goes across the top fender rails, and allows you to jack up your motor, and then hold it there while you change pans, or drop the subframe.

No need for your airflow data on that one!

Something like that is already available...

Data = $$$. It's called "Trade Secrets".
