S38 turbo e30 Hartge H35-24 H bomb

[e30m3s54turbo]

The ball joints don’t press out. But Dorman makes some reasonably priced ones I’ve had good luck with. BMWCCA CR actually require you to replace them I think every 2 years on race cars as they are known to break with a lot of use.

Thanks.
I found out on Monday I could not press them out. I’m probably going to order oem ones.

I’m cut and welding my exhaust piping today.

I had to lift e30 off the ground to squeeze my fat ass under to make my exhaust.

I had to order more stainless piping. I been cutting and fitting piping.

I was test fitting my 3 spoke Hartge steering wheel.
I’m still working on exhaust. I painted the Magnaflow muffler black. I have e30 m3 Hartge exhaust’s. I’m not sure it could not handle horse power.

What HP should you be making? 3 or 4 inch exhaust?

Im aiming for 600hp plus with 3” piping exhaust.

I’m almost done with exhaust. I ordered a four gauge pod like Hartge 3 gauge pod. I been rethreading ball joints, packing new clean grease putting new rubber boots and cleaning aluminum control arms.

I cleaned up the aluminum control arms and put on new rubber boots.
I ordered new coil over kit.
I should have 3” exhaust cut and welded up.
I ordered 2.5 stainless piping for exhaust tips.

I have a question for you? I’m going to up grade my brakes. On front I want to buy AP Racing big brake kit. The rears I did it find AP Racing kit. For know I’m thinking of using e36 M3 rear 312mm vented rotors and calipers plus adapter. I been searching for hydro parking brake. I see Turner sells this parking brake.

I found a couple companies that can do AP Racing big brake kit for front and rear. I’m waiting on emails.
I’m almost done on my exhaust. I need to add one O2 bung to my down pipe my AME. I ordered some 2.5” exhaust tips for muffler. I plan to have shop next to make a Hartge tip. It will be be made of thin stainless sheet metal. I do have Hartge e30 m3 exhaust systems. I don’t think they can breath.

This what it should look like.

I found AP Racing brake kit 330x28 for a good price. I will be ordering them soon. The rears I’m still searching on AP. I found AP Racing rear 285x24 for €1650 euros. I don’t want 285mm (11”) rear. I want 312mm. Will wood offers for rear 310mm vented dual calipers.
I found some Hartge tips that bought years ago in my collections. I was going to modify one of them. I decided not to. I been on eBay searching for oval tips. Found three tips that might work for my project.
I welded my bung and wrap Ed down pipe.

I bought a e28 535i radiator because of the e28 m5 radiator hose and intake was going to interfere with turbo intake.
I modified some hoses to fit the e28 535i radiator.
I been ordering some big new parts for the beast.

i was running e28 535i radiator on my s38 car but it didn't get enough ariflow at idle to cool the engine and temperature would start to creep up. I have not found a solution I like yet
