This is awesome! M30 FTW I approve 110%

I miss the power of my e24...now I got it! but even better with the 260/6!!!!

Ain't no thang! Got those under pulleys to liven up the e39 so its a win win!

No really man, I know I help out a ton with your e30 and all. But you are a true friend that helps back. Gotta slap those pulleys in this weekend or something. Hit you up soon.

I got refunds for every part and cores for the engine and transmission.

Holy shit that looks cold...

34 degrees, I was wearing a Carhartt jacket and coveralls that are insulated. Then I had on wool socks and my triple insulated sole boots with double layer insulate(my feet are insanely toasty). I then had on jeans and a thermal with flannel!

I am glad you enjoy it! I am getting the m20 running perfect when weather gets better. Then do some basic m30 engine work(seals, gaskets etc). Then swap for a ton more NA HP!!! I am so excited for a b35-206/6.

This is what I have always wanted to swap but one never popped up with a 5spd.

Turbo Turbo Turbo..!!!!!!!!! haha, damn you change your mind so many times. M50-M20-M30.. If you need mounts let me know.

Big thanks goes to Sean(Swanny) for covering the additional cost of the swap. Work has been down bad and he stepped up like the great friend he is. Thank buddy!

This is why i love r3v.



Also, excellent choice in powerplants!

This forum is a tight knit, Sean is a great friend even without the help with the engine.

M30 alone is nasty...add a proper built turbo setup and this will be evil. That is what I am going for.

YOU are the reason I want a turbo M30. Or any turbo engine for that matter.

M50 was a go till the back cylinder was found to have sucked a valve chip. Left 1mm slashes, then the m20 was just perfect till I found the m30. I had two m30s before this m20, I just sold them before I found out the m50 was bad. This popped up and I could not say no! The m30 is like 65lbs more? with gobs of NA trq! Kinda sucks I spent all the money and time building that stacked m20. Was fun building it and I am sure someone soon will be happy to swap that in.

Thanks for the offer on the mounts, I am making them myself.

Indeed. I sorely miss my 3.7 liter M30 E30.

I miss my e24s really bad, I will end up buying another one someday. I got to ride in Tom's m30 swap a year ago. Very fast NA, with the car stripped it would run down a pre 07 WRX(110hp till spool,225 with turbo engaged).

[mbonanni]

I think m30's are my favorite swaps for the e30.

I am so excited.

I'm a fan of the m30.
Even more so when they are pressurizeddddddddz

[LJ851]

I'm just going to leave this here, i hope Otis doesn't mind...

[F34R]

I watched all of his videos last night then I watched about 2 hours of M30 turbo videos. I loaded the engine back up today and I am pressure washing it in a bit. Then a mild tear down to inspect the hoses and wiring. Then the normal list of basic gasket and maintenance.

Stay tuned, this will be good. I am SO HAPPY I got a clean b35 with the 5spd to turbo :evil:

Rooting for you.

[freeride53]

That black e34 is not Polly, that was just the donor.

Thanks! Everything will sort out fast as I have nothing else to do this week. Shooting to swap the engine once the mounts are done. Right now I am cleaning everything like crazy, tomorrow I will remove the hoses and vac parts and see if everything is crack free and ready to go. Then split the block from the bell housing and check the clutch.

For you ak- <3

I just got this stuff called dreambeard. You put a couple drops in and rub it in. Makes it very soft, makes it healthier, soften the skin and what not.

Get some.

I am excited for this motor to go in. some feedback on how the motor is compared to an m20, and if you feel your suspension setup is still adequate for the increased weight.
