The 15 Y/O Turbo M42 Build Thread (Now Holley EFI Terminator X Controlled)

[Powling]

Threw on some K1s with Toyo Proxies. Love this look.

Reviving this thread to show love for this look!

Just picked up some K1's myself. What are the specs of yours?

[Karolis]

Oh gosh so I'm really running low on oil, thank you very much!

[Dj Buttchug]

ill do it hold on

[Karolis]

Are you sure? It's near 18,5 inch, really low oil volume for the maximum mark. I have a little bit more than 15 inch on mine M40 dipstick.

Someone with a genuine M42 e30 can give me the distance from top of dipstick to maximum level please? Like in picture.

Thanks in advance!

18 and 15/32 inches

[Dj Buttchug]

So, how it goes? :)

^ Agreed DO ET.

Car is looking good man. You're doing an awesome job on the oem+ look for sure. Good job getting the fuel rail and fpr all mounted up and working too. Why put a turbo timer on though if you have a water cooled turbo? I doubt you'll be cooking any oil if you just shut it off.

[stonea]

wow, that is beautiful. Makes me really want another e30....

do it

[Dj Buttchug]

Thanks for the comments guys. Today I decided to install a Blitz turbo timer I got from a buddy of mine years and years ago. Way back in my 240sx days haha

I couldn't decide on a location for it and I had two knee bolster covers so I figured why not hack one up and see how it looks...

Its ok I guess.

Looks great! R compound proxies or not? Any improvement in traction?
