Noob to M30's

[Good & Tight]

I looked into after market aluminum ones and decided "if it ain't broke don't fix it" with that being said the 2.5 radiator is going back in, no M20 expansion tank or E28 radiator.

Everything lined up, now onto cleaning, sanding, priming and ready for paint while I wait for the bumper to arrive.



Stock hood latch back in place.





Also decided to move the turbo inlet into the head light. Might add some more horsepowers.

Just got finished reading you're thread. I'm not a fan of drag racing but love the fact of a junk yard motor putting this kind of power

Not just the power, but the amount of abuse it has taken.


Headlight vacuum inlet installed.

Marked up for cutting.



Need to finish up the intercooler bracket and piping then prime, paint. Also need front marker lights, to be DOT compliant

Was that front end work just for weight reduction?

Weight reduction and freshen the look of it. It's complete now and ready for the track, goal for this year is to run a 9 sec pass.







Finally added a gas pedal.


Switched out the 4" steel exhaust to aluminun.



Here's a one min walk around vid at idle with the old exhaust.

I dig Alpenweiss BMWs with black hoods.

Hey G

Long time buddy, hope all is well. The HX40 was swapped out a few years ago to a larger BW unit. Engine is still the same though

[stoney]

I love this build, just goes to show what doesn't need to be done to make a car go fast.

Amazed at the durability of the M30, E85 is magic stuff

G&T have you thought about reproducing your intake manifold for sale?

[Mike in Seattle]

He might still have some left.

He was asking for an intake manifold, not turbo manifold.

New personal best, 20psi,same old motor ticking away..!!

[Shadow]

What's stopping you from going to 30psi?
That's some good self control.

C'mon 9s!

[Good & Tight]

C'mon 9s!

With some more seat time it's possible, haven't been to the track in a year.

Here's a vid with a C7 vette, I spun out of the hole but still beat him

Sweet Jeebus.

[M. Holtmeier]

That is awesome. I can't wait.

[Nebraska_e28]

I need a ride in this beast next show!

[M. Holtmeier]

How big is your intercooler, Otis? I finally made it that stage of my project and need ideas.

[tschultz]

May painting the intercooler black would get you under 10's

[M. Holtmeier]

Oh yeah!
I live a little closer to you now, Otis. I've got your twin scroll running really well on my e28 now.

[foolish]

Bad ass as usual.

[Good & Tight]

Finally hit 9's with the same old motor. This has to a work record for a stock bottom end B34.
