Is that a US spec eta bottom end? What diff are you running?

[!kid]

not the best place to be doing a fly by ..... how do you like it as of now ?

[Luis325]

The engine is a US Spec ETA bottom end with SETA Pistons and 1989 325i head, and all accesories with a comforti chip and e36 17.5lbs injectors.

Stock cam and headers..
the dif is a 2:94 lsd.
Exhaust still needs to be done, right now all it has is a 325e stock exhauset with a pepboys muffler which was done by the previous owner... Planing on swaping out this weel for a full 2.5" race exhaust.

I liked when it broke traction in first on the famous M20 torque ramp at 4k.

[Luis325]

Yeah it does that all the time!!!
Love it.
This is my first E30 and i know im really going to enjoy this car!!!

hey luis, I might wnat to build the same set up, any chance you going to do a MAF sensor like miller? what chip you running? I'm trying to not run stand alone, as it will more money than I want to spend.

[Nonspec325]

I know alot of people do this conversion... Is there a write up somewhere on how to do it?

[Luis325]

im runing the 1989 325i afm.
Im planing on leaving like it is for know until i get more work done to the body and repaint the whole car henna red.
But future plans are miller maf with a 272 cam and headers with full 2.5" exhaust...


i thought about megasquirt but it just runs really nice right now, i dont want to mess with a standalone system.
FOr now im runing a Jim Comforti Chip for a 325i for 17.5 lbs injectors from a e36.

[Paukert11]

nice nice nice. Im half way into mine. lol got all the things i need . but mine have a turbo. do mega S its worth it. but you got to do ms2/

[TexasTerp]

very nice! I want to build to stroker engine eventually. most likely gonna be a low psi turbo as well. Glad to hear she's up and running!

You should have waited till there were little kids playing in the street before doing your flybys..

Nice car though.

[Luis325]
