Finally back into an e30: ‘88 Alpine on Blue 325ic cruiser build

[Mastrcruse]

Found this awesome Vacuum manifold which has the perfect amount of spots for my BOV, ECU, FPR, and Tru Boost setups! Pretty cool little piece from Stim Technologies - which I’ve never heard of.

Last minute I decided to add tru boost so waiting on that to be delivered.

This thing is awesome! makes it so easy...and clean.

Looks great...can I ask what air filter you are running?

hah! My vacuum distribution block just came in the mail yesterday! Such a cool piece.

Here I thought I was the only one aware stim tech existed , they have a lot of really innovative projects going on for the E30 platform.

I thought I had a pic of the box but II can’t find it. I know I had the wife buy another from amazon so I get the part number for ya.

I didn’t know they existed but didn’t want to buy some random vac mani from summit. This has worked out perfectly!

Small steps but nice to see some lights after months. And steering wheel installed!

Ecu saw its first power and tuner studio seems to be aligning pretty easily. File being sent to Classic Daily for review and tweaks.

Did find one issue. Oil return bung has a leak. Guy that welded it is well know in the Jeep community and thinks he took it a bit hot. He repaired it but doesn’t look like it’s holding. Going to clean it up and try to seal it with JB Weld. If that doesn’t work, I’ll drop it so he can repair- trying to avoid!

Tru boost gauge showed up today. Gonna finish up the Wastegate stuff tomorrow.

[Mastrcruse]

Well I just went full throttle and just purchased these...

[Mastrcruse]

Have the tune loaded and other items set. JB weld setting overnight. Will work on Wastegate tomorrow and try to start!!

Seats are going to be awesome. She'll rip

[efficient]

nice build.

[Mastrcruse]

It’s alive!!! Started today and man did it sound good with no exhaust on it. The JB weld seems to be working also. Will be finishing up the Wastegate stuff then will put the downpipe back on. Need to get gauges sent to power and hooked into the ECU. Will route the charcoal canister under the car and need to figure out the valve cover vent. Figure out a catch can setup.

I uploaded a video of it on Instagram at Klassische30vert if ya wanna check it out.
