Ok, first post here. I'm building a k24 swapped E30. It started as a 87 325, I got it as a roller. The previous owner pulled the m20 to do a sr20 swap. The original plan was to put my built vag 1.8t into it. Then I picked up a k24 for less than a song, do I went that route. I got a Nissan z32 turbo 5 speed gear box. So I built an adapter plate to connect the two of those. Uses a factory k20a2 flywheel and a stock dimension pressure plate. After about a week of searching I found an off the shelf pilot bearing for it. The k series started is mounted on the block so that was easy. I pulled the head and freshened that up, new stem seals, etc. dropped in some vtec killer rockers with k20a2 springs and retainers along with some z1 cams. I started building mock up mounts and got the engine positioned where I liked it and decided to build a chromoly front crossmember and controll arms. The crossmember is about 75% done and the arms are tacked up. Going to put an e28 rear crossmember in it and run the e36 front 5 lug knuckles. The gear box fits decent after a little bit of hammer love. Will be a 1 piece driveshaft and majorly modded shift linkage. I'll post done pics of the progress so far when I get home in front of a real computer. Let me know what you guys think!
