    Turbo s50 M-tech alpine vert build

    Hey fellow R3V members! I still haven't started an official build thread yet so here it is.

    The car started off as an m20 with an automatic trans. I bought this car last summer with the intentions of swapping in an s50 that I had from a previous car and obviously converting to manual. I decided to tear down the s50 and sure enough the pistons were all chewed up and there were 2 inch sections of piston rings that were gone. Instead of dropping the car in n.a. I made a decision to build it for boost.

    Engine
    -S50
    -1000cc injectors bosch
    -ignition solutions coil packs
    -custom wiseco 9:1 pistons
    -Eagle H beam rods
    -vac coated race bearings
    -hot tanked, honed, blueprinted, Painted block
    -balance crank/flywheel
    -rebuilt cyl head with supertech valves, springs, retainers, and seats
    -new oem oil pump and chain
    -everything new in timing department(chains, guides, tensioners)
    -Dr. vanos rebuilt unit
    -e34 oil pan/pickup
    -Haltech engine management
    -southbend clutch and flywheel stg4

    Turbo
    -Borg warner s366 airwerks t4 twin scroll
    -Custom top mount twin scroll manifold
    -Custom chargepipes
    -Custom intercooler

    Suspension
    -Ground control coil overs shortened housings and coated metallic green
    -all poly akg bushings
    -stock vert sways for now
    -e30 m3 sway bar links
    -Repainted front subframe
    -z3 rack

    Exterior
    -M-tech kit
    -Shaved headlight squirters
    -coupe trunk
    -shaved antenna hole
    -Shaved door locks
    -Custom fenders and quarters
    (body work I haven't touched yet all from p.o.)

    Wheels
    -currently have no wheels because I sold every last set wheels I owned
    -Nitto nt01 tires

    Plans
    -20psi on pump gas
    -Custom rear end
    -Wilwood brakes
    -rollbar/harness
    -Fix rear 1/4 panel (slightly damaged from when the car was on air)


    So far I have pulled the stock motor thursday and sold it to a local mechanic. Anybody have a good way to get rid of auto transmissions? I have had one for years that no matter how hard I try I cant sell. And now I have another...

          Brakes are stock painted gold by previous owner lol

          I'm not sure if by that you mean compression on boost or just the compression of my motor. Im running 9:1 compression pistons at zero above sea level which is where im at because i live on long island. 9:1 compression at zero above sea level at 20psi of boost my compression will be 21.24:1 according to http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/compression.htm

          I will frequently be updating this thread because this is my main project at the moment and i would really like to be up and running by the end of this summer.

              yeah I meant the motor compression, I see you are going for some nice power. I might get some wider wheels and flares for traction.

              I would like to see those shave door locks..

                Fenders are flared out a few inches so i will be able to stuff some meat in there. No more stretch/stance its going to be all business. Well maybe a little stance ;) and you can see the shaved door locks in my last post.

                also forgot to mention some additional parts
                -Hella smoked elipsoids from levent
                -tial/full race bov
                -tial/full race waste gate x2
                -custom waste gate piping
                -all hardware arp2000
                -fuel cell setup

                    I have some updates. Forgot to mention the issues ive been going through about my title. Some of you may have seen my for sale thread parting this car out. I have been fighting to get a title duplicate since hurricane sandy.

                    I had not yet registered the car and the title was in my office on long island that got completely destroyed. Literally 5 mins ago I got a call from the p.o. and was able to get a duplicate. So much stress has just been relieved and i can now fully continue my build. And most importantly i wont have to part out this beautiful e30. End rant.
