How much for the E34 and how much for the turbo kit?

[e30austin]

Picked up a 3.25 LSD from the wreckers for $60! :D

Score!

[the imitator]

I want 2k for the car pretty damn firm.

The ms2, wasted spark gear, turbo manifold lc1 wideband all brand new not used throw me an offer.

Want stuff gone by the 4th, worst case it will sit. Package deal will be cheaper.

[Wschnitz]

Really want that MS2, but really shouldn't.

[the imitator]

I hear ya, tons of extras too.

[Matt-B]

That's because they don't make anything. They find home fabricators, pay them pennies on the dollar to make batches of things, and then sell them.

Just like front strut bar, its a sparco bar...not an "ie" bar

[the imitator]

Here's the m30/m20 turbo stuff

[Matt-B]

not a bad lot, a good deal for someone looking to go turbo

[the imitator]

I feel like its priced decently for New product. My plans are slowly coming together, found a swap candidate, but I refuse to say its a "go" until a down payment/money is paid.

EDIT: aaaannd Gone. lol BOV and turbo manifold left.

[dereliiict]

This was parked in front of my building today. Anyone here with a legit bronzit?

Also 2002 on Hawthorne

[Pdxseth]

I follow the guy with the bronzit on Instagram @marty_was_mcfly

Dunno, M30s sound pretty bad ass, 12v powwaaaaaaaaa.

24vs are however far superior in engine quality and maint.

Disagree.

Cooling issues: M30 has none, mine is turbo'ed and can run full 25min track sessions without a fan, only time it creeps is sitting at an idle after awhile. Then I flip a switch on my stock AC fan and it cools right off, even in 100 degree weather. I'm also not worried about my head warping or cracking when it does get a little hot.

Water pump isn't made out of plastic

Stock internals can handle tons of boost - see Good&Tight

Maintenance = regular oil changes, no brittle plastic to break such as intake manifold, oil filter cap, etc.

Big 6 ftw

[spiDmang]

I do love me some m30 power...such a fun motor in a e30

[EN318isPDX]

Water pump isn't made out of plastic - Cheap/Easy fix and not all came with it

Stock internals can handle tons of boost - see Good&Tight. 24v has easy to obtain forged internals from M54B30,S52,S50 ect

Maintenance = regular oil changes, no brittle plastic to break such as intake manifold, oil filter cap, ect This one is far fetched, the oil filter cap is exactly the same as M30.

10mpg ftw

M30 is still an awesome motor but its not the best swap for an E30 IMHO ofc. Its heavy but sounds amazing.. If you want good power and torque on a tight budget M30 is the way to go.. But the MPG are gonna rape you

[the imitator]

MPG is the only downside IMO, According to several weight threads, the m30 engine isnt much heavier than anyone else, but weight is weight. and my next swap .. ya! ill wait till the payments is down to say. but the price and mileage was WAY to good to pass up.
