    V8 E30 Engine photos as requested

    Hi Guys,

    Was mucking around on the car today and thought id take some snaps for those of you who have asked for them. I have not really posted many engine pics in the past so might as well start now. I still have not got around to painting/detailing like i want to because im to busy enjoying the car at the moment.


    also added some close up pics off the brake booster, its a MK2 Golf booster with a 24mm Nissan Terrano MC so its a nice we upgrade from the standard e30 booster



    The last photo is of my Keskin 16X9s mounted with ET10 on the front TIGHT ;) Note they are my ACS wheels on the back so look skin ny.






    Any questions please don't hesitate to ask

    Regards

    Riley

        Looks really neat, cobber. Nice work on that front! What ECU you running? Motor all stock? What 'box? If it is a BMW jobbie did you use a bellhousing adapter plate?

        Fark me there is SFA clearance between the head and the booster! Had you considered going to an under-dash set-up like an L300 Mitsu van jobbie? They're very popular over here in hot rods and street machines when they're doing flat firewalls.

        I think there is also a remote-mount VH40 booster you can get, too...

          Thanks mate, its running a LINKG3 (NZ Built computer) motor is all internally standard but its a factory black top (high comp,better cams/cooling/rods/injectors etc) running a supra 5speed box with an A1TURBO bellhousing.

          Yes i did look at remote setups and was close to going that way but this was pretty easy and more factory look. I did have a remote booster i was going to use.

          Cheers dude

                  I like the air box. That looks like it fits preety good. Is the booster in the stock location or did you move it to the left? It looks like you moved it a lot.
