777- Kamotors E23 Turbo Build + E38 content and a hint of e32

Nice. That'll be a ton of fun with a manual gearbox for sure.

I test fit the e30s new wheels on the e23. 285 18x9.5 rear et20 and 245f18x8.5 et20 and they fit perfectly lol. The e23 has huge reae tubs, a 305 would easily fit. Now I know what I can get away with.

The e23's cap and rotor were nasty! The car stutters a bit at WOT around 5500rpms and this only helped a little. Going to replace coil, clean AFM and TPS next. Made a quick video of the replacement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCfraeTNf10

Letting my brother borrow the 285's as they aren't what I was hoping for performance wise.

The e32 developed a tick and missfire. The missfire definitely seemed ignition related but I feared the tick was something worse. Discover the prongs had broken off the Bosch plugs(actually common on these) and the plug was finger loose. What ever shop worked in it needs to learn how to tighten plugs, both rear plugs on each side were loose. Access is tight back there and I'm guessing the shop didn't have patience or tools to do it right. Well all fixed now with a set of NGK's. No more missfire, no more ticking (it was exhaust escaping the plug hole).

Kinda tempted to turbo an m60 and put it in the e23, but the amount of wiring needed scares me a lot worse than fabbing parts does.

Replaced fuel pump with my old e30 bosch 070 single fuel pump setup, and replaced ignition coil but car still stutters at 5k rpms. Only thing I haven't replaced is the plug wires and fuel filter so doing that next.

Glad you get to keep working on the car Kam! Hoping for peace for your family

The MSD blaster 2 works as a replacement for the Bosch coil? I contacted MSD and they said they had nothing that would work for an e30.

I ran the msd on my e30 and several customer builds without issue. Works in both m30 and m20s.
