Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

[TimeMachinE30]

Two tone, square heqdlights. You sir are classy. It looks good. It is hiding what few E30s have
.. it should have a distinguishing look.

Nice work.

[trapical]

I don't think I've ever been so jealous of something til now.
Good shit man, haha!

Today I welded up my turbo drain to the pan and elbow to my compressor vband.
Correct size front master cylinder comes tomorrow so I will swap that in soon. Taking the work equips to Espo's powdercoating this week to get finished up.

[Dirk HX35]

Pulled the pedals back out this morning to swap I the big ass 1-1/8" master for the front calipers. Waiting on a wilwood proportioning valve from my buddy to finish up the brake system.

[Dirk HX35]

Dropped the work equip faces off for finishing. So I have an Evo 9 intercooler that I originally cut the inlets off and welded them on straight but now I need 3" inlets so I redid it. Here's how it used to look.


Cut the ends off


Made new 3" holes


Blanked off the old 2.5" holes


And welded an elbow on my brothers holset too

[Dirk HX35]

Welded my 3" outlets on my intercooler, mounted and ran lines from tilton brake/clutch reservoir, and bought an hx40 for cheeeeaaaapppp to slap on my e28. Degree kit corm comp cams showed up so I can finish the motor and put everything in soon.

[Dirk HX35]

Degree'd the cam, since it's a gen 3 cam in a gen 4 block that had vvt/dod.
Should be putting everything in for good this week and firing it up.

[Dirk HX35]

Put the motor in for now to make all the AN lines for the breathers and power steering. Planned to make my plug wires too but I bought the wrong ends. Welded the overflow tank to the side of the radiator too.

Maybe I missed it but is speedhunters sponsoring your build or why windshield sticker?

[ak-]

Everything is looking slick and tidy. I really like your overflow.

I recommend putting grommets on these 3 lines btw! Chaffing over time is going to result in a bad time someday from vibrations :p

No, I just like the banner because it's bad ass and the car is bad ass.

Thanks, I planned on putting grommets for them and the brake lines that's why I oversized the holes.

That's the plan haha

[Dirk HX35]

Wired up some strobe led fogs, they can be solid on or hotboi strobes.
Ordered new glass lenses to do yellow of course.
Put on my Slightlystanced splitter tonight.
Still sitting around waiting for my plug wire ends from summit and the equips from Espo's...
Lots of waiting
