    Turbo Vert Project

    Whats up dudes, I decided its time to make a thread on my lil vert and how it is doing lately....

    But first here is the history of my car:
    When I first got Amy she was a cutie



    A week later I decided to swap to plastic bumpers for the modern classy look





    Then I bought some JOM coilovers to be maximum low



    Then bought some wheels and went for the xxr 002 16's with 0 offset for the cheapness and they just look really nice on e30s IMO ;)



    Decided to get into drifting and attended a few events but needed more power!
    So I ended up buying a bunch of turbo parts with my tax return such as
    GT35 ebay turbo
    cx racing turbo manifold
    ebay wastegate
    Cxracing intercooler kit
    42lb injecters
    Hks ssqv bov
    Some random electric fans
    full 3 inch exhaust with a borla turbo xs muffler
    And other fittings and expensiveness
    We got it running great for a couple days, but then one of the oil line decided the shear shut. Which intern starved my motor of oil and I ended up spinning a bearing
    So what I do is disconnect the wastegate and blow up the motor for fun/revenge.
    Then here I am I bought a new I engine from austin or DRIFT30. I beasted and took the old I m20 out and now for the pics
    Heart transplant

    Yellow oil pan FTW

    Spun bearing FTL Shot my rod threw my oil pan


    Now I'm just waiting for my work to give me a day off so I can swap the new motor in and have a running e30 again.


    Thanks to Nate, Oliver, and Eddie for all their continuous help throughout this cars life

    Lol I will post this before any one gets a chance
