DrLeadFoot Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have mine torqued up around 70 ft-lb per VAC Motorsports' instructions. They appear to be for both 12v and 24v engines. I can scan them if you would like.pYes please. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Time for an update. Dropped off my oil pan and baffle at the welder yesterday. I should get it back in 2 days.This afternoon I will order new ARP rod bolts. Then track down my Snap-On guy to get a degree torque tool for measuring the 55° after the bolts are torqued to 25 ft/lbs. I've been pulled away from the car due to a job change. I'm officially a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage! I've been doing rental properties for the past 4 years and now I will continue the rentals as well as adding sales into my routine. With that being said let me know of anyone looking to buy/sell/rent a property and I can give referrals to other agents, if I couldn't effectively help myself, nationwide. As an incentive I will let anyone drive the e30 if the leads are solid! I want to go fast, fast!!Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk patsbimmer1 and KaiserRolls 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The job change is exciting! congratulations on that and I hope you like it better. FYI when I gave you the ARP customer support line, I actually gave you the AARP customer support line and I would have loved to hear about the strange conversation you would have had about bolt torque specs with a retirement benefit personnel. I'll get you next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Full Banana Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Congrats! Also, I want to see this damn car already. Good luck getting it all together and happy. although that might just push me over the edge with putting a 24v BMW engine in the Volvo.

DrLeadFoot Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 As long as you know what areas need attention they are solid motors. 1. The oil pump nut needs to be welded, safety wired or upgraded.2. Make sure you use a new Jesus bolt and loctite it!Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Baffle welded in.A sample of the drag spoiler. Going to make some changes to the design but I'm really pumped about it. I'll get some better pictures soon.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 that wing is neat will it have a little bit of adjustability or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It could a little. I want to definitely get the rear lip/kick up to 2in long (it is about a centimeter now).For the side piece it will be skinnier at the front and have the rear come to a tighter rounded point towards the top. The top fold will be angled in instead of out as it is in this pic. The bottom fold will be as it is in the pic. There will be 4 support rods about 8 inches long spaced equally across the back of the trunk. The spoiler is 12in long. The side flaps will hang over the rear fenders a little. I will get it all powder coated black and leave the stainless steel hardware in its natural state.

B C Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The adjustment/support rods will be a nice touch.Im sure you get a lot of turds wanting to race you now but I forecast an exponential increase in speed competition proposals from fellow motorists when they see a drag style wing.

DrLeadFoot Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It won't be too much adjusting. Just enough to make sure it is straight off the trunk. Because of my car being on jack stands now would anyone with an E30 want to meet my welder guy, aka Dan EXHAUST MAN?? I need to properly size the spoiler.

DrLeadFoot Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Got a call today from Achilles Motorsports and my oil pump isn't OEM BMW so I can't get my core charge back until I send them a BMW unit. Does anyone have an old pump that they want to get rid of?Is there supposed to be a gasket between the block and the pump? I hope not because that's how it was running. Metal on metal.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 No gasket. Tell achillies to get stuffed. Thats some bullcrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
