Alpine m30 336i e30 (2013)

Oh, yes.

Engine in, finally!

I got the adapter plate off of ebay.de ... Although I don't remember the name of the guy off the top of my head though

Just a few more small updates. Got my air horns from Germany after about a month and I've started to try to work out a solution for some of the other issues with the conversion such as the fuel rail and thermostat housing.



Trying to fit the t-stat housing, I ordered some 1.75 OD 11 gauge 6061 alum pipe with a bend, the move the coolant pipe away from the TPS but I'm still having interference so it looks like I'll have to extend the flat side of the t-stat housing to clear the bottom of the throttle bodies.

Where did you get the ITB adapter plate from?

[Jb325is]

Yeah I think I might, I'll probably put it all back together at work one of these weekends so I'll let you know

If you need a hand then holla at me.

The headers.

Are sexy.

Almost ready for assembly finally. Got the head re-assembled and bolted on. I still have to sort out the thermostat housing and vacuum block for the ITB's and they'll be ready to go. I'll probably go ahead and get it running the way it was, stock manifold and speed density, then work on converting it to alpha N and ITB's afterwards.

Since I last updated, I've gotten new hubs for the front, a MOMO start seat for the passenger side, 6 point harnesses, new GC camber plates and I got the transmission welded back together. I'm hoping to get the car running over winter break but we'll see

God I <3 M30's

[VinniE30]

m30 powaaaaaa!

[csermonet47]

Glad to see you wrenching on the E30 again! Porting looks great. Hopefully we can all meet up one of these days.

[rav320uk]

Sub'd as i'm doing the same swap with ITB's on my E30.
Keep the updates comming:p

[325ix]

That is a huge amount of porting done! It looks amazing.

[Jb325is]

Yep.. I've just gotten serious about working on the car again, finally! I have ordered some maintenance parts and Lorin did a great job porting my head for the throttle bodies/adapters. Thanks again







Next step is modifying the thermostat housing to clear the tps.
