Rowleym Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Not fo' sale I got this thing for a steal considering I bought my e30 for $1400I hate you... and Yes I completely understand the steal. Just not fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laishes Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I hate you... and Yes I completely understand the steal. Just not fair You could always swap your own! I looked it up however and the swap seems very daunting. It's a difficult swap for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not fair I do want to turbo it eventually but I wont have any of the funds soon enough unless I sell my daily driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laishes Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hodge podge turbo builds are cool, if done on a car that no one gives 2 fucks about. but as a daily as well as a touring, I'd suggest going a legit build, if he were to even go turbo route. Also, double check it's a B35 head. Could be a B34, not a biggie, but that little bit would go a long way! BUllllllllshit. Anything smaller than an hx40 and you would have full boost..... alll the time. I don't believe in turbo's in a daily that spool before 3500. Its just ridiculous. cxracing intercoolers have definitely been proven many many times, and there is no need for a 1000$ intercooler when you have a stock block. And you think I can't design a manifold? I wouldn't need to. Just copy a simple design. Sure I probably couldn't build the best twin scroll equal length manifold, but shit I have all the tools and materials to build a m30 manifold right now. Why else would I have bought a brand new tig welder?Just because it's a wagon doesn't mean it won't be garage queening it up! I have my trusty toyota corolla as a daily driver Personally I would most likely run an HX35 for my setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Laishes Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Lovin the yellow zip ties on the radiator! Hahaha! it's really the only "janky" thing i've noticed thus far. I figure ill get upper rad mounts sooner or later but the zipties seem to be working great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would only be good for around 350wheel without ripping into the motor. Spool would be god damn instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spool would be god damn instant. HX35 is pretty phat! I could run either I guess (HX35 or HX40). But I'm almost certain the HX35 is good up to 500whp?

jc43089 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wouldn't worry about it too much, My fan shroud has been held to the radiator with zip ties for a long time. Won't need it any more though with my new overflow setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only has studs; and an MLS gasket What I'm saying is you won't be able to make 500whp on a stock m30 with hx35 because you would need boost pressures of 35+psi and that's not happening. I was saying you would make around 350whp on an hx35 on that motor with a decent amount of boost. With e85 I bet 450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edurty Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 There's a "build thread" on bimmerforums for this car. Its been around and heard many people say to stay away from it. As long as it was worth it yo you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've noticed nothing but good things about this car-- it's solid and well put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
