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

[nomansland92]

Slowly but surely things are getting done. Tank is back in and pumps are wired



Doing a few upgrades, I will be selling this head built by bimmerheads soon if anyone is interested.




Hopefully I'll get the transmission in and atleast the block in soon for the last time.

Thats what they look like

Always liked the rpf1's, they look decent on the e30's as well. Nice car man!

Shout out to a fellow IBEW member. Local 24 here (Baltimore) really considering doing a turbo AWD build myself, thats how i stumbled on this thread! Off the turbo subject but can you post or pm and specs on the wheels you are running on the car.

Nice to see another member on here! The awd cars are a absolute blast when there boosted, theres just so much traction. Those wheels were just some knock off esm wheels, 16x8 et 35 I believe but thanks a buddy hooking me up with a nice set 17" Enkeis but I don't have any full pictures of them on with the car down on the ground yet.

Gotcha! Well I'm jealous youre doing all these fun enginey things.

The IX facebook group had someone with a S54 swapped car....now that....THAT would be a great fun car!

Ya I've seen a few s54 swaps now, and if I started over I would heavily consider the s54.

Awesome progress! I agree on bang for your buck. M20 has almost limitless potential, with one being almost 1000hp I saw the other day, but an N52 would be a wonderful option. You def have the fab skills.

So I have to ask...why did you go through all of the hassle of adding a DCT to keep the M20?

Not knocking it. just seems weird.

Pretty much just the way it worked out honestly. When I started out I spend a good bit and built the motor to handle some decent power but then realized I needed a better stronger diff so I spend hours and hours building that oil pan for an m20, and then last minute I decided to go dct for icing on the cake. If I were to start again no way I'd go with the m20. I mean there good motors but bang for your buck theres so many better choices. So I'm gonna smash a lot of fuel and boost down its throat see what happens haha.

Don't try this at home folks





Also took advantage of ebay's 15% off sale the other day and scored these id1300 for a killer deal!


One step closer to e85

Fuel lines are on backorder so I gonna have to find something else to keep me busy for a week or so.

Its a DCT out of (I think) an E9x chassis.

Yep, I snagged it from a 2017 m4.
