M30b34 E30 twin-screw supercharged muscle car

^Lol bro.

Hey also, I got my 1987 m20b25 harness today as well. So I'm just missing the b35 harmonic ballancer and this somebitch should be nearly running…

…WTFuck?…

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Did you get a balancer sourced?

[Ether-D]

It's one of the last puzzle pieces. I still need one.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Wow I never knew it would be that tough. Have you check back with bimmerguy2002 to see if he got some?

[Ether-D]

Oh, it's not that they aren't out there. I was pm'ing a dude in CA about one, he just probably forgot and I haven't been "chomping at the bit" for it with the m20 car requiring some of my attention. I'm getting back on to the muscle car for a bit until I have a b27 bottom to go into the vert. I'll likely be getting ADHD with the wrenching throughout the winter. Sounds like a nightmare.

Ahh now I get it.

Awwwwwwwwwe yeah! I reckon I'll have to head over there this week sometime. Thank you, my nizzel! They look to have 3 or four, at least one should be a m30b35 car.

Lol go there and raid them m30's its what I did can never have enough spare parts

Buzz me if/when you go please.

[Ether-D]

Will do, brah. I'm thinking I'll go this morning after I drop the children's at school.

[Ether-D]

No fuckin' m30's in sight. I did score a brake booster and master with remote reservoir that may or may not work. And a pair of ellips from an 89 e30. So that's neat. Also grabbed a harmonic balancer from a m60 cause it's 8 bolt and I may be able to make it work. Who knows…

Edit: Harmonic balancer is not gonna work. Bolt pattern is just a smidge smaller in diameter. M60 harmonic balancer for sale! Cheap!

I'm kind of surprised you are going to let that stop you... I mean, you have a drill, right?

Edit: And I mean that in a complimentary way. You have proven yourself to be resourceful and thrifty. Why get hung up by some pesky holes that are just a smidge off?

[Ether-D]

You're right. Also though, the 2 missing teeth are in the wrong place (about 90 degrees off), the main hole in the center is a bit too small, and I believe it to be too thick to fit without surgically removing the outermost pulley (which is not all easy like the m30/m20, aka, it has to be forcibly removed ah la grinder+time). It was cheap, I can wait for the right one to show up. I'm still minimum 2-3 months away from a drive, and that's if I decide not to supercharge it as part of phase one. But I really wanna get to gettin' on some intake manifold and some pulley action. I am 90% sure I want to just do the whole shebang as phase one. I'm just so completely in love with the double barrel hood scoop I can hardly wait.

[Ether-D]

Got the m20 harness laid out on the motor and it's gonna be cake. Extend a wire or two here and there, money. I also painted the exhaust manifolds and down pipes and they look sexy as the dickens.

I'm just gonna do the supercharger on the first go round. I like it when I have plenty of time to think about things. So instead of it breathing its first life in December, I'm gonna say this should be up and supercharged and on the road by March-April…if the money is there. I'll have another $1500-1750 in it before it's on the road. But even at that, I only have about $1000 in it right now. Wheels/tires gotta be in the $500 range. I'm looking at $3250 all in (minus sweat and tears and poop).
