Alpine m30 336i e30 (2013)

[Jb325is]

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

The headers.

Are sexy.

If you need a hand then holla at me.

[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

[AsharC]

Where did you get the ITB adapter plate from?

[Jb325is]

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.

[Jb325is]

Engine in, finally!

[LJ851]

Oh, yes.

[Jean]

nice!

[BrewCity11]

What if you cut more off and then moved the sensor to the empty bung below? Might give you more room to weld in an elbow there.

[Bearmw]

update please

[canakami]

Bumpski.

Well this is turning into the longest project ever. I've once again set aside the throttle bodies in favor of some more important additions to the car. I have it running on the megasquirt with the stock intake, the way it was before. Just need to throw it on the dyno to freshen up the tune and that part of it will be done.

While I was out of town for work last weekend my friend built a back-half cage in the e30. Initially I was just going to go with an off the shelf roll bar, but I know I'll build this into a race car at one point so I decided to go ahead with the back half of a full cage. The car will just be used for DE's for now, if I crash it I'll go ahead and finish the cage and look into building an all out race car. I'm pretty happy with the cage, not too bad for a half days work.







Probably going to remove the fill panels, paint them white, and re-install with black rivets.


This weekend I'm planning on installing my seats/harnesses, Innovate LC-1, digital temp gauge, and hopefully the AKG DTM shifter thats been sitting on my bench for two months. I also want to remove all sound deadening, all unnecessary wiring and clean up the car in general but not sure I'll get that far this weekend

what sort of power is it making? or not been to dyno yet?

[Jb325is]

I think last time I had it on a dyno it made 218/227 with a slight 4500 rpm and up misfire, which is now resolved
