    87' Delphin 325is LS1: Went to Paint

    So I've owned an e46 for about 4 years, and done all the maintenance on it from day one, I bought a supercharger kit for it only to find it was not compatible with my engine. Decided to build an e30 engine and buy an e30, always loved the looks of this body style. So here is my progress:
    Started with this tired m20b27 out of an 86':




    Stripped and sent to machine shop for cleaning, surfacing, and bore/hone.

    The accumulated parts:





    Super eta pistons, eta rods, MM head, eta crank, I intake. Also got all new bearings and goetze gaskets.

    Had rods and pistons balanced:



    Got the block back, started assembly:













    And now I need to start piecing together turbo parts!

    What are you planing on for engine management? If you are willing to learn, I would suggest ms3 instead of a chip land rising rate fpr. How about turbo and manifold?

          Thanks! No car yet, keeping my eyes peeled for an 89IS as of now, still working on selling the supercharger kit to pay for the car.

            Don't count out an 88. A plastic bumper swap is a bolt on swap.
