The new surprise

[golfdmb18]

Well im sure all of you saw my desperate decision on whether to sell my e30 or keep it. I eventually worked it all out and now i am a proud owner of an '87 325is. I traded my zinno auto this past monday to josh from e30tech. Im very happy with the trade. Delphin metallic(my favorite color). Wheels are ATS and the sickest wheels i have ever seen. The car has bilsteins and eibachs but im not satisfied about how the rear sits. It needs to be lowered another 1". Let me know what you think

P.S- the surprise is the last picture

looks pretty sweet. hope you know alot about turbos though, b/c owning a custom built turbo car without any knowledge of the build is pretty fun...

PS: change yer sig. hehe

Congrats on the new car. Details on the turbo setup please.

As far as lowering the rear, remove the rear spring pads, that'll help.

Let me know what you think

ghetto black wheels, hood pins, $5 ebay air filter, and a junkyard turbo setup.. I think I liked your old car better.

josh told me he had removed the pads but there is still that gap. Im gonna check to make sure. The turbo was built completely by josh and trust me he knows his shit. Im not extremely knowledgable with turbo setups but you gotta learn somehow. The cars running at about 7psi with 19lb. injectors. This is fine for me right now because i would rather have a fun car than a car with a blown engine. As time progressives im sure ill move to a bigger setup and mess around with megasquirt.

Oh, where did the top radiator bracket go? :)

Maybe they are cabrio springs or something.

Only 19lb injectors? DO you have an air fuel gauge in there or anything? M30 AFM.

Post up a complete turbo parts list if you could!

i figured i would hear this:D Everyone has their own opinions but i am pleased with the car so im not gonna get all pissed off like some people seem to be doing lately when they hear negative comments

If you want to know the actual AFR you'll need a wideband o2 sensor.

Regardless of what others say - at least you got the color and the front airdam right. :)

turbo- t3/t4 .63/.50 a/r 57 trim wheel
stock afm
intercooler- 2.5x6x18


we talked about putting 24# injectors and running 9psi...what do you think?
does the m30 afm really even give that much of a gain?

So, why did the e30tech guy do this trade??

[Digitalwave]

Hoods pins must be for staying safe when the car reaches warp speed.

yup

[golfdmb18]

i of course gave him money on top of the trade but he was just ready for a change. The hood pins are pretty convenient
