E30 S52 Build + Turbo Install

[Mr. Horsepower]

Do you have a picture of how you routed the intake to intercooler pipes?

I got a Achillies Motorsports racing oil pump installed along with their oil pan baffle. loctite'd everything along with properly torqued all the new bolts. I should be good for awhile.

It is running better than ever and I will be cranking up the boost from 13 to the 18-20 mark.

A couple of random pics.

Looks like you are running a g260. I think there are a couple of oil pan bolts hidden by the bell housing

I'm 99% sure my oil pump nut loosened up while on a 3rd gear pull and the oil light came on. The motor didn't seize up. I shut it off really quick.


Just to see what the damage is.

I have all of the bolts off of the oil pan. It still is really tight on the transmission side even with loosening the two lower trans bolts. Do I need to pull the trans to get the pan off?? Help!!

The front of the pan is loose and while I was hitting it with a rubber mallet you can definitely hear something metal bouncing around in there. I think it is the oil pump sprocket by the sound of it.

The culprit.


The new alternator.


The result.

The e30 with a good amount of power is an amazing setup. I'm having so much fun driving it!
