CMart Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 My old timeline was wait until spring then start the build again, but I've actually been making good progress in the cold. New goal is to have everything buttoned up by spring and get it on the road as soon as the salt is gone. I've been spending too much time parting the E39, but once its gone I will be able to work on the E30 much more efficiently with the extra room. Thanks!Waiting on you!! Let's run 'em.

CMart Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Also what are you putting down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Also what are you putting down? Last time I dyno'd it it was 442whp at 13psi. I'm now at 18psi with a slipping clutch... I just want to break the 500whp mark. I also have to pop in a new t3 turbo gasket. Mine currently is venting to atmosphere.

DrLeadFoot Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Got around to doing a little work on the car while in my basement. Popped of the foamy thing. It was all oil mush. Gently pry a bit. Off she comes! New vs. Old Oiled up the gasket, took a 15mm socket and tapped it home. After cleaning up the tar-ish residue on the rod popped on the new foamy thing on with the dowel held in by the snap ring. Waiting for more small parts from pelican. They're getting a call tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Got the clutch and flywheel out. Gotta love zipties! A little slipping going on there. The pressure plate is a Sachs, clutch is a Southbend stage 4 and JB racing flywheel. Couldn't handle around 400ft/lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Not sure. Bought the whole thing off of a guy on bimmerforums. I think it's just the disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Shift pin time. Love the ice pick. Slide hammer the caps out. Ready to pull out the pins. I used a J-hook screw to extract them out. (The thicker screw hook to hang flower pots or decorations. Not pictured.) Once the pins are out drive in the Teflon collar with the correct punch. Make sure the gap in the collar points out to the right or left of the trans. All at home. Drop some gear oil in the hole and install the pins and springs. Drive the caps home with the correct punch. All done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
