And an e28 would have had bigger tires so the taller diff (in my car) and smaller tires of the e30 should be a nice match if the transmission ratios are similar. So at 5000rpm in 5th, I should be approaching 150mph! lol...

For my own curiosity and records:
Getrag 240 (m30) with a 2.93 rear-end in an e30:
1st gear at 6500rpm = 41.3863636 miles per hour
2nd gear at 6500rpm = 77.8965909 miles per hour
3rd gear at 6500rpm = 117.138636 miles per hour
4th gear at 6500rpm = 155.795455 miles per hour
5th gear at 6500rpm = 192.338636 miles per hour (as if...)
And for comparison:
Factory Getrag 260 (m20) in an e30 with a 3.73 rear-end:
1st gear at 6500rpm = 32.5113636 miles per hour
2nd gear at 6500rpm = 61.1897727 miles per hour
3rd gear at 6500rpm = 92.0113636 miles per hour
4th gear at 6500rpm = 122.37500 miles per hour
5th gear at 6500rpm = 151.086364 miles per hourOriginally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

This is where the magic happens…

Alright fellers, I got some shit did today. Got the new timing guides in and the timing chain on and timed. Timing cover and such. Then I started on the downpipes because I just recently acquired my exhaust manifolds. Boy does that rear manifold dump out right near the ole firewall. No biggie, because the m20b25 exhaust I had laying about has the damn same flanges and the perfect bend to tame that little bastard, flex joint n' all. So I got the forward most one finished and pointing toward the rear of the car and now to do the rearward one then mate up the rest of an m20 setup and call it free...er, I mean done. I reckon I should button up the driveshaft and carrier first, but anyway, made some progress.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

I think I'm gonna take the duals and merge them to a single 3" right after it goes to the center of the car. I was gonna just use the m20 stuff, but I can budget in a few hundy for a muffler and some pipe.
On the O2 sensor bung, I think I'm gonna try and place it very near where the factory one would have been. I have an extra bung from when I bought the air/fuel gauge for my m20 car so I'm just gonna use it somehow. I haven't quite figured that part out though. I'll post up some pics when it's complete.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"
