E30 cabrio v12

[e30m3s54turbo]

Looks Soooo good.

Wow! I can't believe there's that much room left in front of the engine

That was my first thought also. Guess it's not much longer than an m20.

The lenght of the engine ,, as center of cylinderbore is the same as M20 and M50

the pistons are 84mm in bore,, but the timing case is bigger etc etc


I think the M70 is a hidden treasure,, in the E30 Swap world,, compact,, not that heavy ((alu block)) ,,but IMO it must be driven on standalone system,, oem electronic on M70 is awful,,

thanks for your opinion

i dont think the M70 has an alu block. M73 is the one with the alu block.

Well small update,,,



2 x 6 cyl coilpack



8.5mm MSD



I have to get a smaller pulley wheel ,, or a bearing



and put another pulley/wheel here were the 8mm bolt is,, to get as much touch/grip on the crankwheel

i had the water pulley remade so i can run 1 belt instead of 2

b) 1 from accumulator to mastercylinder feed,, pressure
c) 1 from accumulator to steering box,, feed,, pressure

f) 1 from oil carrier to pump,, reverse,, big one

Nice and tight in the engine bay.

Looks sweet that bay is full

Nice work on that muffler! I've never seen anyone do that. What did you fill it with?

Any reason you just didn't go with a dual 2.5 in/out Magnaflow or something? I know you'd have to make your own hangers, but that seems easier then building the muffler from scratch! Either way, impressive work.

ok, now that Ive seen the pics. Whoa!
