lolz. good job man. I like what you have done. I am going to be buying a ls1 shortly. The one thing I noticed was your rocking your car as a is I would be rocking it as a 357e. cheers to you mate I hope you make some geld on this.

[Gooch]

Didn't realize your car has A/C. That makes this even more enticing.

Curious question, in the event that these sell out, is there a chance that you could make them later on individually? I'm not the greatest at welding and the only person I know that can weld just went to North Dakota. :(

In order to keep our costs in line, we are going to order from the laser cutter in batches of (10). If/when we sell out of the first 10 sets, we will order another run.

You, too can have one of the most exclusive cars in America: an E30 with air, cruise control, power brakes and a lot of power under the hood ..........8)

Man good stuff! I have toyed with the idea of doing this on my daily E30... I have to research your build thread. I have questions regarding the application of the brake booster system you have engineered. Ie, how it works etc etc... Nice though very well done!

The HydroBoost and master cylinder are from a '97 Mustang GT. The GM ps pump output hose (@1200psi) goes to the HydroBoost. It then goes to the BMW rack at about the same pressure, and returns to the PS pump reservoir. The fluids (Dexron) and pressures are compatible for the ps pump, the HB unit, and the BMW rack.

The HB unit provides an hydraulic boost to the brakes when the brake pedal is pushed. To the driver, it is no different than ordinary vacuum-boosted brakes. In the event of an engine off condition or ps pump problem, a pressure accumulator on the HB unit provides power for 4-6 stops. After that, you have manual brakes. Works great.

I meant sarcasm on my befalf, anyhow kits look great and the price is attactive. Good luck with it.

[garretvs]

So you havent thought about doing that at all /sarcasm. Yeah thats just silly, but I like silly.

Nope, not sarcasm. Just thinking of the possibilities of other stuff that can be done to an E30!

Hmm supercharge the S52 lump in the car now or just buy a lsx and this kit and do something silly. Gotta say after driving a 09 ls6 vette the other week these engines and trannys are fantastic.

Hmmm ....... Magnuson supercharger for the LS engines ..... Hmm ...... LSA engine from the CTS-V ........ Hmm ..... just need a little bump in the hood and a place for the intercooler radiator ...... HeeHeeHee

[garretvs]

Very nice. Just curious, can a/c be adapted?

Our car has everything working: cruise control, A/C etc. We use the GM compressor and hoses we made ourselves. Everything else in the A/C is stock BMW E30. Our "building the E30-LS1" CD details how to make hoses, etc.

What's up with the second diff mount? Why is that needed?

The second diff mount is an option. We feel that the torque that the LS1 puts out can "twist" the standard diff mount -- & perhaps fatigue the sheet-metal mount that picks up the (4) diff mounting bolts. It's probably helpful for track guys also in keeping the rear end hooked-up.
