NEW UPDATES! Bretts Turbo Twin-Cam M3 bodied project.

[turbo325i]

Got my hoses figured out. e34 hoses didnt work like people said, so I just went to the parts house and started lookin. Found these. They fit like a glove after some trimmin.



Left the part number on the hose for all you suckers. Dayco hose. $9.99 both upper and lower hoses are the exact same hose cut up just a lil different for bottom and top.




I also was having issues with the shifter position, and it ended up being the stupid selector rod was bent to hell from the place I got the trans. After adjustment. FITS PERFECT!

I am currently waiting on my driveshaft being balanced, and a lot of parts to come in from TRM then I can get this thing buttoned up!

Just went through the entire thread! Awesome progress man! That is the exact same turbo/cam/manifold setup I want to run w/ my m50swap!

Can't wait to see it done!

And with a proper tune both will produce almost idenical #s ;)

Besides that, I didn't say we had the same motor, just I planned to use the same turbo parts on my build. :P

Yea, I am hoping to upgrade the turbo later. It should be great for now!

Yeah I'm hoping to be content w/ the hx35 but being "content" is very rare! Lol

Working on my driveline. So I have the early model e30 large guibo shaft and I had some troubles...

I fit the two pieces together, and the splines did not go well together. I then tapped them together and they didnt want to come apart... So I took it to the driveline shop, because I was going to have them balance it anyways, and the guy said that he couldnt seperate the shafts... So then I took the shaft back after he heated it up cherry red hot..

After 15 mins at my shop I had the shafts apart... I then filed the splines for a couple hours and now it fits like a glove!

Long story short... The driveline experts... Arent so expert. Cant trust anyone but yourself.

So now I gotta get it balanced, and bolted in. Then the driveline will be DONE!
