Full Build Thread - Twin Turbo e30 m3

[MR 325]

Fucking amazing car. Fuck the haters, S14's suck.

Nice work on the whole buying/selling game, seems to have worked out for you.

325- Thanks a lot. I just got out of the car business. This was pretty much my last deal with my license.

Yeah, I never really got what people love about the s14, but then again, I never rode in a built one, just stock. I like this setup so far. It doesn't seem too heavy. More pics on the way!

[MR 325]

By the way everyone, for the thread starter's sake, we better not start the old S14 debate! ;)

[KangamangusDriver]

This looks great!!

Looking forward to seeing the progress!!

That's odd, it seems as though you're the only one who has dredged up hate in this thread. :p

I like the S14. Yeah sure it's not an inexpensive, or super powerful engine.

I can also see the appeal of an M/S5x swap.

Different strokes for different folks.

[MR 325]

I stopped myself though. :)

Car is getting dyno tuned tonight!

[CorvallisBMW]

hell ya, make sure you hook us up with those digits!!

[Van Westervelt]

What are the numbers? And what do you want for the seats? Carpet gone gone?

Great job on the M3, cant wait to see what it does. I have thought about doing a turbo 2.8l vanos in my 90is. When time comes to do the engine swap. Right now I have other pojects to get finished.

[AWDE30]

Ohh. I want a video or something of that car ripping.

[evinn]

numbers please

[TTe30m3]

Very cool project. That piping is quite simple considering what's been done. I'd love to see the numbers, and some more pictures of your E36's! The stance looks wack in the picture of the E30 showing off the IE3's - was the S14 out of the engine bay already?

Haha, yeah, S14 was out.

Ok guys, sorry to disappoint, but I didn't dyno tune. We street tuned for a couple hours (and a half tank of gas!). It had amazing benefits though. The car is completely different and much more drivable. On the way home from the shop, I went WOT on an onramp and it broke loose at the top of third. It was crazy because I wasn't even looking outside, I was mostly looking at the wideband making sure it was ok. All of the sudden, the car just started wheelhopping (shitty shocks/bushings).

I played with the tuning again today and have my cruise and WOT afrs down almost perfect. I was giving a friend a ride tonight and I kid you not, it broke traction in 4th when boost came in. It was raining, which is why it broke traction at that speed, but it was just a crazy feeling having the back start to get squirrelly going that fast.

Anyway, I'll dyno soon. They just didn't want me to waste money without having a descent base tune. I'll keep you updated! Thanks for all of the comments!
