'86 2.7i - Euro Hartge Mtech Content

[jharrel]

this thing is looking awesome

[red325ix]

Updates coming soon hopefully.......

Currently have my mtech 1 rear valence, genuine e30 mtech 1 rear spoiler and a set of pfeba side skirts getting fixed up at the body shop, and I've decided to fill and smooth the bottom of the rear valence.

I also ended up getting a customer SSSquid tuning chip for the 2.7i with 274 cam specifically, and it seems to be running much better and a little stronger, although maybe a tad rich. I have a 3.73lsd ready to go in soon and then I'd like to put it on the dyno and see what I got.

Also currently on the search for 16x8 and 16x9 staggereds, and 7k tach that is compatible with early clusters. Hitt me up!

did you have to use late model radiator hoses, using a late model tstat housing and early style radiator?

I used early model radiator hoses.

Are you able to compare the power to a stock M20B25? I know that it might be hard to quantify, but I have both a B27 and a B25 sitting around and I am considering mating the 2 with a new cam from Bimmerheads.

I would say definitely more power than a stock m20b25 but I haven't dyno'd it. I also have the 17lb injectors with chip so that makes a difference as well. Where it really comes alive is above 3500 rpm or so. I'm currently running a 3.23lsd. Can't wait to get a 3.73lsd out back.

Didn't see this thread until today! Looking good. Glad you're happy with the head!

Yup.

Great job so far I really like what youve done with the engine bay

[TrentW]

Nice work so far.

Just to clarify, this is a "regular" eta 2.7 (as opposed to an '88 SuperEta) wearing an 885 "i" head, correct?

Yup.

Not much going on lately. Loving the 2.7i set up so far. I'm surprised more people don't go this route. Updates coming soon....

Mtech1 wing on the way (hopefully)
Mtech1 rear apron being painted and lines smoothed over
Trying to source a good quiet 3.73 LSD to replace my 3.23 (this set up needs this bad!)
Trying to source some period correct side skirts.

Cool project.

[red325ix]

Very nice build. Looks just like mine did till I scrapped the Spectre.

Yeah the cone filter is a temporary solution until I figure out what I want to do. I plan on running an MAF maybe with KAmotors intake or make my own set up but this will have to do for now.

Are you running stock air box?

TIP: I ended up using the discarded support bracket from my old ETA intake manifold to support the AFM. Bolted right into the side of it then to the chassis.
