E30 335i - The new track (drift) project

[E30SPDFRK]

Awesome :)

Spray is not active yet... it's a wet kit, 10lb bottle. The kit came with many different jets (from 35-125), but I'll be running 100 shot on rare occasions (to catch some of those ball bearing boosted bastards who will just take off on the start and open a bazillion car lengths, and then when we're drifting it seems like "I can't keep up")

Thanks, but dude, that video is sooooo not even close to how loud it really is. It's bad.

You planning on boosting the new engine?

I've always wanted to try drifting. I don't know if my M50 and 4.10LSD make enough power to do it.

[Erick]

If my M30 spins tires on a 3.25, your M50 can most definately spin them on a 4.10lsd

No plans for boost. Right now chip, M5 flywheel/clutch and cam are in the list. If necessary, a 3.73 diff.

All the big BMW drifters in europe are running all motor, and today was enough proof that (even though underpowered) the M30 has enough potential to do perfectly fine all motor.

And no boost gives me the edge on reliability.

I was just wondering if it would spin them in 2nd gear sideways, but I guess it's a different story once they're melted to shit.

yo Erick what mods did you do to your steering knuckles just curious for my e30 what has worked for you?

[Erick]

All I have are tie rod spacers that I had made for my car. No knuckle mods.

Glad to hear you got the car mostly sorted Erick! The motor is most likely willing to take a bit of beating, but it could probably use a little help. Is it possible to hook up a wideband O2 sensor and watch fuel ratios under load, or check the timing at different RPM's with a timing light?

truth. It will be a while before I mess with boosted power again. (read lots of money to dump into top quality components). I spent a couple years messing with an awd eagle talon. Not reliable.

Well done sir, the car sounds like an extremely loud and pissed off cow. :-)

Can't wait to hear you spraying its filthy bovine internals.
