E30 project. Engine Conversion etc

[Jean]

Looking promising :) minus teh rims

This is dynodynamics power goals, not Dynojet :P

I could aim for more with a larger turbo, but I don't think I'll be looking for anymore power until I can efectively use what it will have as it stands now.

Why run a mid 9 with 1000+ hp when you can do it with 600 :)

Good point. what engine managment are you going to run?. with something that supports traction control and gear dependant boost you use the 1000+ kinda HAHA. Either way it wil be an amazing ride!!

I would focus on aerodynamics and make it a highway hunter. 1000+hp is 100mph bump territory, with lots of boys with big pockets and big ego's to crush

Very nice project. Love the paint. Dont' like the wheels. Good luck and post as many pics as you can. This forum is pic-happy

Wheels we purchased from an image on the net and turned out not like I'd hoped :P The are actually 17x8 ET35's and back when purchased wasn't much around in Australia at a 'reasonable' price.

They will do for now :)

Management will be Autronic SM2 with Autronic R500 CDI.

'traction control' is limiting the power anyways. You'd only be able to use the big power at high speed, which isn't the purpose of this car, it will hit redline around 145MPH...

3.93 gearing? Are you going to run drag radials to grip that power with that short of gearing?

3.46 Ratio. I'll see what true slick I can fit under it, but most likely drag radials.

ATM 245-30-17's and 1:1 final drive ratio in 3rd.... 7500 odd RPM.

Only 600hp? cmon! :D

[JasonC]

How much power can the rear shafts on an e30 hold?

[!RocknE30!]

Hmm I would have thought 1000+, badass project though best of luck can't wait to see the final product

A "little" T66 won't push out quite that much power, but it's more than plenty.

This will be a nasty car when finished, very original.

Looking good

[StereoInstaller1]

C'mon, mate, wheres the pics?

[BMW2JZ]

No more progress... Been tied up with work of late don't even have the car back yet:(


Have also been playing a little with my daily driver too... E32 735i with a 2JZGTE :) I want 400 atw's with this before I get back into the E30...

[Firestorm]

If you have a e30 with a turbo tojo 6, and a e32 with a turbo tojo 6. Does that mean i have to put a lsx into my e32? :p

[BMW2JZ]

Yes... Yes it does :D

[drifty340i]

how are you going finding the diff? i need a 3.23 or 3.46 for mine now with the 1uz
