    I'm interested in seeing what you wind up doing for the brake booster.

    Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

      My 1989 e30 s52 Touring... this is Betty

      My 1989 325i vert (sold)...this is Nina

      My 1991 M5 (sold)... this is Veronica

        Non assisted brakes is not an option so I will be using a hydroboost system utilizing the bracket provided in this kit. If I figure out an assisted brake at a later time that does without this braket, then I will remove it. Right now it seems that it is the best solution. I'll provide a review on the kit as a whole when it arrives.

            Definitely sub'd and waiting to see more on this swap! love the suspension finish. What gains do you expect with the above mentioned add-ons?

            Also, what year motor/tranny are you using?

              cai, exhaust, ls6 cam, heads, intake manifold and tune should yield 400hp fairly easily. Drivetrain is a 99' w/ 67k miles.

                        the local LS7 e30M I built a diff for fitted the ford hydroboost unit from the garret tvs kit. it barely clears the front apron but does fit in reasonably clean.

                        the driver side strut tower needs to be scalloped (and re-inforced)
                        OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25

                        Z4 non powered steering rack fits e30



                        Euro e46 2005/6 320d 6mt gearbox into E30 with M20 hardy and beck 1985 327s engine

                          I would use the massive boosterless setup, the hydro boost/linkage setup looks like shit and takes up a lot of room.

                            I'm looking into this for a 1JZ swap. the massive boosterless setup still won't work.

                                reverse mount pedals. boosterless with correct master / caliper and 6.25 pedal ratio. had a forward mount (essentially the same) with the s54. perfect pedal feel.
