                      More picture because who doesn't like pictures.
                      So to update, if you remember from the beginning when I bought the 30 I never got to see it running therefore I don't even have a baseline. I have to decided to break the motor in NA. This will allow me to work out any kinks and focus on getting everything back to OEM spec. It doesn't really set me back too much. This week I will be putting the motor and tranny in the car.

                        Some work had to be done on the engine harness because the oil pump switch wire was fried straight back to the eCU. So I manage to get that squared away. A lot of progress has been made since last update and Wallah

                        Since I installed my E46 M3 rack I had to make some changes to the firewall boot.

                        There is no Turbo bits bolted on yet. I plan to finish buttoning up the engine bag before I complicate things further. Next is to complete the harness and drivetrain.

                        But more pictures

                              Went with a moderately sized intercooler.

                              Mock-up for intercooler piping. I want to be as simplistic and neat as possible while retaining high beam lamp.


                              Intake side of charge pipe

                              Don’t have pics but I redid the fuel lines oem hardlines. Swapped out the small case diff that turned out be LSD to the medium case 2.93. Wire tuck is complete with pictures coming soon. I had to get a M20 drive shaft cause the 318 came with a g240 ofcourse. Sourced one on eBay.

                              Presently I’m looking for a stock exhaust system for the mean time.
