    One of my all time favorite e30s since the beginning. Glad to see you got it sorted and done proper!

        It made 275/237 to the wheels. Not bad for a baseline with stock tune. I think it should make 300whp after some tuning, there is a lot to be gained for sure

          You weren't kidding when you said it was loud. Can't wait to experience it in real life.

            Yeah its way loud. Shopping for mufflers now

            2man- all sound deadening is gone, no a/c or stereo stuff, no abs, fixed back seats. Still has carpet in it though.

              Soundgasm. What's up with the midrange torque spike... that's uncharacteristic of the motor. Maybe it just hits torque and the dyno isn't adjusting the load quickly enough to keep the rev sweep uniform.

                  I've seen the same torque hole in Andrew's swap dyno. I'm beginning to think that maybe there's another wire that isn't hooked up now, maybe a vss which I meant to way back when.

                  Are there any stored codes?

                    gotta be one of the straightest swapped e30s I've seen in awhile.


                    opie, plz don't add flares.

                      Whats the ballpark figure on what a swap like this would run?

                                Looks great!

                                Did you have to use spacers to fit the M-System wheels onto the 5-lug setup?

                                Thanks!
