management?

you should srsly consider it in an e30 ;)

[slow e30]

stick it in the e36.


why? i just felt like ruffling feathers here on rev haha

like it so far

[Mako18]

More pics of manifold?

[yberther]

can't see it, but it is hot :)

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

Thanks for the interest guys. I know it's obviously an e30 board but you really could put this in an e30 so I guess it counts.

For management I'm using stock ecu, tuned by Maximum PSI in Linden, NJ. Apparently I can pass engineering courses with ease, but can't build a megasquirt. Didn't wanna risk all those shinny parts to a mediocre tune.

If and when I total the e36 (It's being used as a drift car) I may cram it in an e30. I have an extra block and various parts, so I'm kinda planning a high rev N/A m50 build for that thing.

The manifold was built by forum member Good&Tight, he is also making them for m50 e30's.





Here's the fitment







That head is hollow, it's just a mock up.

[yberther]

looks good. but a standalone would be a much better solution.

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

Standalone's are big dollars, I'm lucky I can afford a clutch at this point. I'm unemployed college student status.

[RickSloan]

wow sounds like you shouldnt be building a car in that case...

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

This build has been going on a while now. I saved up a ton of money when I was working, bought all the big dollar stuff while I still had a job. Most of it is payed off, I have a small balance on my credit card, enough in the bank for about a year of payments. I put in some applications on Monday to start working again, and I have a half a garage filled with e36 parts, and 2 dirtbikes that are being put on ebay.

Pretty much I'm broke in the sense that I can't go out and eat fast food everyday, or go race go karts with friends, but I have enough for my budgeted well planned out build.

Why my plans are on hold and turbo for sale.


OP... keep with it, should be sick.

[So Live]

Killer build even if it's in the wrong chassis :P

good luck getting her going!!!

[Fast Frankie]

Looks fucking dope... but why drifting?? Post some lap times, it's a bimmer!

Thanks, the origanal goal was 550whp, apparently I'm way over building for that.

Hey man I wouldn't wanna screw up god's chariot drifting would I?

Thanks, and if you've never tried drifting, I suggest you do. It's mostly going to be a street car, driven on lower boost settings. I spend alot of time in South Carolina, 10 minutes from our house there is Myrtle Beach speed way, drift event every month.
