Everything's back together waiting on the oil feed line to be made and then I can start it. The shop that will be making the exhaust can't get to it till the 12th. So gonna have some free time. Debating on dropping the rear and doing all the bushings or waiting till it gets back. Also small note on the IE Wilwood big brake kit.
Now for guys not running studs I don't think you will have this problem.
The lip on the wheel stud that prevents the stud from treading threw. Doesn't allow the rotor to sit flush. Took me some head scratching to catch it at first but then I just used a step bit and made the holes larger to fit. Kinda one of them moments where your like wtf but all good.
Also started ordering everything needed to start installing the Flossman M3 front clip. If anyone actually reading or following this has done a actual M3 body panel swap. Please be my new best friend and allow me to be a pain in your ass lol
Brake showed up
Also had the charge pipe made turned out pretty nice. Waiting on the oil feed line to be made then hopefully soon will be able to start it.
Yesterday I bought the full M3 Kit from vivid racing they had posted in the for sale area hopefully have it here next week I'll throw up some pictures when everything comes in. I was going to just do flares but couldn't pass up the deal
Oil pan installed
Motor back in
Subframe in
Still waiting on the Willwood big brakes to show up for the front. IE Motorsports said Monday so just need them to finish up the front.
Tomorrow I'm gonna do the clutch and flywheel and reinstall the trans.
Engine hoist showed up 2 weeks later but all good. Dropped the subframe tomorrow pressure washing it and swapping out the oil pan. Then gonna fight to get it all lined back up. Honestly in all my years I've never had to do a oil pan on a E30 and what a giant pain in the ass. Once that's done then the fun starts.
More parts showed up fully polished Intake manifold and valve cover.
Also the rest of the engine hoist so this week I'll actually be making some progress.
Anyone use chasebays ABS delete kit ? Thinking about ordering it seems pretty legit
Nuke Performance makes one, then you can get fancy with -AN fittings.
I also use 42lbs injectors and a Walbro 255 pump with a stock regulator and stock rail.
I used this on my old Miller setup (12psi) and still use the same with my Megasquirt setup @ 15psi with a stock regulator.
At 15psi I was seeing ~80% use of my injectors.
So still waiting on stuff to show up. Big question is fuel pressure/ regulators. I've seen some people using a adjustable fuel pressure reg from a Porsche 944. My question is what are you guys running. I plan on using 42 pound injectors. With a 255 pump. Boost is gonna be around 10 13 pounds. Also does anyone make like a billet fuel rail or anything like that.
