325IX restore and build continued(turbo, e34ix diff, DCT)

[nomansland92]

picked up this thing this weekend for 500 bucks, 91 auto ix. has a bad vc but is surprisingly clean, a lot cleaner then my Ix started actually haha.

I've been planing a bother build for a little while now and I think this may be the candidate I need. of course I'll finish my 88' ix first, I'll be working on it this winter again

it's going to be awhile till I start it but Im planning on a entire driveline swap, remaining awd but 24v turbo but not from a bmw

Those wheels tho, i dont even know what to say

I'm actually really excited for this, can we at least get a country of origin for the drivetrain?

The trailblazer SS used a similar through oil pan design.

unfortunately I'm not going to let myself start it until I pay off my truck so that's going to be a few years, unless of course I come across some great deal on parts then maybe I'll cheat a little haha.

you have a tig welder, get to work

I noticed the car was just starting to lean out in high boost high rpm, the afr was wondering towards 12.0 when my target was 11.2. So I finally got my fuel pressure sensor in. After a quick drive I checked the logs and found pressure to start dropping of above 13psi of boost. Since I'm planning on switching to e85 soon I figured this would be a great time to order new parts

Walbro 450 in tank pump and a second tank return. This isn't everything to switch to e85, still need a content sensor and I might switch up the rail and go semi-returnless to manage fuel temp better.

It's going to be a JZ engine isn't it. If it's not I'll be sad. But man this thing makes some good power, looking at your thread always makes me wish I kept and turbo'd my IX but it wouldn't be nearly as well done.

[nomansland92]

Got the fuel pump all in and found my miss fire to be bad coil packs. I believe they were a Chinese knock offs because all 6 showed same resistance with as multimeter and the new ones showed 4x that amount.
The local shop had a dyno day so I figured I'd strap it on.
It did 429hp and like 423 torque. I really need to make some changes to stop the car from falling on its face over 5k.

I'm actually debating selling this s256 and getting a s362sx-e, because I am way over efficiency at 25psi with the 2.8 litter. So if anyone wants a good borg warner s256 with pretty low miles let me know haha.

Some parts arrived today and the ix is getting ready to be torn apart and getting some upgrades.



My plan for the winter is to finish the e34 diff swap, build intake manifold, and redo the entire fuel system. Well that's my goal at least but we'll see how it goes.

this is like turbo plus itb, and its already stupid quick.

[nomansland92]

Unfortunately no itb's just a short runner manifold.

Interested to see your intake design, there has been some talk recently about the factory intake manifold and its drawbacks. That's on an n/a car though. I forgot about your build, looks like you have got it ironed out well, 2.8L m20 with 8.5:1 CR and 17 psi making 400 hp on pump gas and you haven't blown the diff. nice!!

Maybe I shouldn't have gone with such a high CR, I'm at 9.5:1 in my 3.1L turbo, but I also think i'm getting boost creep at the moment and my map sensor only goes to 121 kpa.

What are you going to do with those sick wheels on the second ix?

[2002tiiguy]

shhhhhhh, dont say anything about the front diff, it might hear you and blow up just on the principle.
