M30b34 E30 twin-screw supercharged muscle car

[Ether-D]

My shop is like my brain, a fuckin' mess, but here they are together.




I sometimes wonder what you people look like. Whenever I see any of your pics, I'm usually surprised. So there's what I look like, don't be jealous.

I have a megasqsuirt setup Ive never used with a bunch of extras for boost control. not sure I will ever use it, PM me if you want details. you would just need the harness and sensors

[Ether-D]

Well, I broke the timing chain guide. Fark. It's only $7 but now I gotta wait a week for it. Buttlicker!
Whateves.

Gonna slap the head on there tonight and slide the motor back into its' home. It just looks so sexy in there.

List of shit needed before it will drive:

b35 harmonic balancer & m20 harness (or just figure out how to make this b34 harness work)
m30 exhaust manifolds
full exhaust
control arms
tie rods
brakes
seats
nicknacks
so-ons

Items needed for bonus supercharged build:

supercharger
ms2
stage 3 m10 clutch
o2 sensor
drive belt
aluminum sheet
pulley setup
by-pass valve
IAT sensor
pattywhacks
so-forths

Items needed for the muscle car part:

double barrel scoop
some kind of cool wheels
bench seat
giant hole in the hood
chrome barefoot gas pedal

Thank you sir! That's it.

Head is next. Anybody know how to time these motors? There is no obvious mark on the cam gear. The crank tdc is clear.

I have an extra m30 crank position sensor bracket from my m30 swap parts sourcing if you want it. I ordered a new one from blunt, and then got a used one with the b35 harmonic balancer I bought.

Bottom end disassembled and reassembled to proper torque specs with assembly lube. Timing cover gasket and front seal replaced. Rear seal and housing gasket replaced. Smaller oil pump gear and shorter chain installed. Oil pump, pan, and gasket installed.

It is, Right now it's just about the harmonic balancer from the b35. I need to just put an ad in parts wanted… Then I'd just put an m20b25 harness on it and the ms2 would be a breeze.

I'd go 1.3 it's what I'm running and it makes it easier to wire to the car imo

[Ether-D]

m30b34:
Rod bearing cap nut torque: 40ft/lbs
Main bearing cap bolt torque: 44ft/lbs
Head bolt torque: 58-59ft/lbs
Intake nut torque: 23ft/lbs then 32ft/lbs

Alright, motor back on the stand and I'm gonna get after the re-gasketry of it. then set her in for good. That went kinda fast in my world. Now I need to make a damn decision about whats gonna manage this motor.

Motronic 1.1?
pros: free (cause it came with the motor)
cons: rough idle, old tech, blah blah, won't do boost

1.3?
Pros: better idle, newer tech, slightly prettier
cons: not free, gotta rig up crank sensor, buy harmonic balancer, won't do boost

MS2?
pros: ummm everything
cons: $700, harmonic balancer, $$$, $$$

ADHD moment, did yous guys know that auto zone.com has all of the torque specs for the important bolts?

I have 1 of each setup of course , single 4 barrel, twin 2 barrel, triple sidedraft.

Of course.:eeek:

I'm probably gonna just end up using the first section of the old manifold to bolt my supercharger box to, just like my m20 version. I'm kinda holding out for a different version, but it does work well.

[LJ851]

You don't have to go marine to get the 4 barrel manifold, early 7 series had them. I have 1 of each setup of course , single 4 barrel, twin 2 barrel, triple sidedraft. All the carb manifolds are made for small intake ports like your early intake manifold.

[Ether-D]

Whoa. Those are pretty badass. Good infos.

[totheredline]

Theres lots of options for fueling these motors. I was going to run twin weber 32/36s using an old Bavaria intake manifold but decided to go megasquirt instead. Theres even a marine intake manifold that bolts up and would allow you to run a good ole holley 4b

Bavaria manifold


personally I think a cammed out, carbed, euro bumpered m30 e30 would be badass shit
