Did you run out of proper fuel injection clamps?

That conventional worm drive clamp on the top of your fuel injection hose is not ideal. Please consider using the correct clamp, submerged fuel hose lives a hard enough life as it is.

Thank you, i will be bookmarking that. You dont happen to have a spare pump bracket assembly do you?....

Ill take that fuel pump off your hands.......

This is where I bought mine, fast shipping.

Only thing I needed was a small bit of 3/8th gas hose.

FrankM e30 and I installed a Walbro 255 in her last night. This pump makes a huge difference from our stock 20+ year old ones. No more starve at mid to WOT and throttle response is much faster as was starting it up.

Tomorrow wiring up the Spal fan and getting ready for Gfest, see you guys there that are going!
BEST update: Sold my 2002 roundie to Unearth078 on here! stoked to see him take over my back burner project. Sad to see it go as it was my next build after Polly is done.
I have something awesome in store once she is done ;) But with the sale of my 2002 I now have the spare funds to buy all the turbo bits.

M30 - 1

m20 - 0

So, what are your thoughts on the b35 compared to the m20.

Weight distribution, power, maintenance, etc.

A dressed m20 and a b35 that has AC and PS deleted is damn near the same weight. I placed the engine back another .5" over the normal #2 placement that is .5" back over most common m30 swaps. So I have a solid gain in distribution.

The engine is bigger than the m20 but that works in favor as it allows more room to work on it. The manifold is easy to remove, same with the water pump and starter. Timing is a snap with the chain drive. It is in every way better.

The power band rips from bottom to top and does not want to stop. I have only owned the b27 in this e30, the power is awesome. I did not notice a difference in handling one bit.

this just gets better and better. Love that bay.

This will be my favorite build when the turbo arrives! :D

First of many packages on the way, once the 2002 sells I will be picking up a Hx40. Management is MS2 if anyone missed it. Should be ready in a month or so.
Right now just finishing up a few things to make the trip to Gfest and meet all my haters <3

This is so good.
Reminds me how much clean up I have to do on my 4 door
