In to see a/c progress. What's this PF condenser you mention?

Also curious to see your oil cooler go in. I have literally everything ready to go (S54 ofh route), but when I put a temp gauge in I saw that I'm not really surpassing 180F very much so I wonder how necessary it is. Granted this is in non-track, no-a/c conditions.

Its the one designed for r134.

I agree I don't think I actually need the oil cooler in order to keep my motor from eating itself but the way I see it if I'm going to be increasing my demands on the car this much I may as well get as much cooling capacity as I can. It has an internal thermostat so I can't really hurt anything. Also most of this work I'm doing is simply because I like modding my E30.

My order from VAC came in today.

Starting a new thread for my next round of modifications and updates to my 87 325i sedan. I sold my M3 so my sedan needs to take up the responsibility of being my year-round daily once again. I also intend to start participating in auto-x as well as other motor sporting events so the car will be going in a couple different directions at once.

Upcoming work I have planned:

Full 24V air conditioning retrofit. (most parts already acquired, PF condenser and 16in 3000CFM A/C fan already installed)

S54 OFH and oil cooler. (have everything waiting sans Vac AN10 adapter and Vac banjo bolt)

Fairly comprehensive array of gauges including voltmeter from jaywood and Podi ventgauge

Wheels and tires appropriate for "sporting". Konig wideopens already bought and wrapping them in 225/45

Replace 80 amp alt with rebuilt 140 amp unit

Replacing my ebay SRD replicas with Corbeau TRS.(Bought and installed)

Installing my IS skirts I have had sitting around for a few months

Install my ArcAsylum rear sump kit I have had sitting around for years (when I find the motivation to pull out a perfectly good running motor)

On to some pickers for the clickers.











That is all for now. Good to be back in action.
