DevianceInDark Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Yeah I live in Oshkosh, live out on Fond du Lac Rd. Just picked up the E30 and didn't drive it much this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Woah! I want that manifold. Would be super easy to build a nice manifold with that. Runners are straight. So does this mean itb's? Couldn't imagine turbo, I see this as more of a "show" car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I stood and looked longingly at my car as I broke down boxes for recycling pick-up.Getting excited about digging into the bay after New Years. Gonna be a full winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 A custom short runner may be in the plans this winter. A: Words hurt.B: Not sure exactly what the future holds in the motor department. MS and a fancy SRI will certainly make boost easier tho. Sorry brotha! Didn't mean for any hurt feelings. Just figured you wouldn't want to step away from the awesome wheel game to go a little fast! I personally couldn't make a car that nice, go fast haha. But I also have never owned an e30 that clean.

HipMF Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Awesome. Looks like it will be a lot of work to make it fit, but it would allow for some really clean charge piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I thought about working on my car tonight - so that's *kinda* like working on it right?!? jc43089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Me too. But its just too damn cold to pursue those thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Interested in knowing what is going on in your head in regard to that manifold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Short Version: Taking a stock M20 manifold and the manifold above.... And cutting/welding into a SRI (using flange and injector bunges off M20, and runners/plenum off V12 mani. Will allow for easy IC piping in future, and even more important to me: get rid if that horrifically ugly crab mani.In the process I'll be losing the brake booster, abs lines and mani on DS frame extension, ICV, etc, etc... Simplifying and eliminating as much as possible. Finally have enough saved for MS, so that should be ordered any day so I can get started (I want to install and get a MS running before I tear everything apart and redo.). Which is why a lot hasn't been done so far this winter (that - and this damn weather). DrLeadFoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Im so excited to see what happens with the manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 From what Ive read the runner size and shape is the same, so I'll be losing alittle overall runner length (but gaining a larger plenum volume) coupled with a less restrictive intake setup and a better tune.... So I have no friggen clue.But it'll be fun to find out.Then throw boost at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassE Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 After driving home from the gym this AM with the sunroof open on the daily.... I see my procrastination on getting work done on the E30 is gonna come back to bite me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Going to replace my slave cylinder and clutch line either tonight or tomorrow. Anyone familiar with bleeding the line?I'm assuming it'll be like bleeding the brakes? Pump up the brake pedal - then press the clutch pedal down while cracking the bleed screw? I'm not entirely sure how the hyd clutch system works on this car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
