    M20 turbo now going 3.1L

    Since i have some down time in my build i figure its time to do some sort of build thread
    Ive been learning and building my e30's for about 7 years now. Swapping parts from the current one to the "better and cleaner" one until finally out of the blue i ran into this rust free 87 325IS and after a while got him to sell her to me:)
    the sweet seat wasn't included

    CAtuned suspension with true rear coilovers and well everything else in preparation for a turbo build later on

    I swapped out the engine for a 2.8 stroker i bought from Shan't (Myster-E) which i enjoyed for a summer then decided that winter to go through with the turbo build since i now had my manifold, turbo, and dump tubes thanks to Isaac http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=341742

    Also ended up getting new interior that summer too ;D

                  yea just a little haha
                  i have an in line oil thermostat so i figured better to have it bigger and let the thermostat decide if its needed and i liked the idea of a little larger oil capacity

                  and thanks the manifold is awesome! fully ported and sexy welds, what more could you ask for

                      Paint looks really good. Did you do it with a rattle can or gun?
