    the last time the car was on the dyno was 2 shortblocks ago and it made 607whp the setup is relatively unchanged from that tho
    My friend has essentially the same setup, except in a 03 Evo. I think he put down 609awhp. Ful built engine done at Pruven, alcohol injected. HTA35r I think. Regardless, it's insanity.

    started a topic Newbie introducing myself and my cars.

    Newbie introducing myself and my cars.

    Well hello all, My name is Dave im from Harrisburg pa and will be going to school in the Williamsport area. I guess I could start my story with how i ended up with my E30. A good friend who worked 2 miles down the road at a steel recycling yard gave me a call. He said they had just gotten in an older Bmw similar to the one another mutual friend has. This perked my interest so I jumped in the car to go see what he had.

    When I arrived I saw a red E30 hanging from a backhoe, being supported by the roof LOL. The car had been rear ended and pushed into the other lane of traffic getting T-boned. This shell was pretty much toast But I asked if it would be possible to get any parts from the car. I was told for $65 dollars i can pick whatever I can get off of it.

    Two of my friends were E30 enthusiasts so I had a general idea of what the stuff was worth, and that this deal could not be passed up. Using a cutting torch the entire drive-train was on the ground in about 20 minutes. I also took other odds and ends that were still ok, like one ellipsod light and the ecu.

    Well my friends had seen a weak point in me and thought now was the time to pry me away from Japanese cars.They had a found a 90 white 2 door automatic 325i that had suffered a timing belt failure. Since I already had the engine and the guy was willing to trade me for a POS hyundai accent I had picked up to use as a beater it was a no brainer.

    I picked the car up and got to work. 1st removing the old bottom end which had some ugly looking bores in it due to the head being off for such a long time. Then came the manual swap, I had the tranny anyway haha. I also installed borbet Cf's and vogtland springs to get her looking decent. Im constantly trying to improve it but here is what I have so far.
