E30 S52 Build + Turbo Install

[Gnarles]

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

A couple of random pics.

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.

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

[E30NJ]

I like those wheels

Doing the zf swap with a 2.79lsd, UUC twin disk, uuc Evo 3 shifter and royal purple fluids.

Some pics of the drag wing I had made.
















I also got around to the ZF trans and did the shift pins and the 5th and reverse pins.







This didn't go as expected.

Pulled the pilot bearing and did some passenger door work.

Got the new door latch installed.


New gates, springs, cleaned and lubed lock cylinder.


Locked in.


Good to go!


Duct taped up the holes.


Now just need to install these actuators to trouble shoot my central locking system.

[DrLeadFoot]

Attending to the drivers lock.


This might be a problem.








All done!

Started on the divers door wiring. Didn't take too many pics but I sorted out the interior light wiring and now both interior lights work when the door opens!! Ah, the little things. The PO had pulled the 30amp fuse 27.

I still would like the exterior handle to trigger the interior lights prior to entry but I am having trouble finding a picture of how the mechanism works inside the door and if I'm missing a striker(?) piece, that would close the connection triggering the interior light timing control, which I think I am.

I combed through the wiring schematics and tracked down the C503 connector and bypassed that by crimping the BR/GN wires together and the BR ones the like. The pics I have are of how the PO had them after I unwrapped of what seemed to be 2 feet of electrical tape.




The C503 connector has three wires coming from the chassis to the connector the RD/BLK is there but isn't used.




That is where the PO had a short or didn't know what he was doing and this happened.

Fire, Fire!!

This is what I need a part number for. Just the electrical part of the handle that bolts to the mechanism via a 10mm nut.
