Guest Laishes Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Dude even it's a pile you got it for nothing. Well, pretty close. 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 Yeah no doubt Rowley; I saw the forum Baxters talking about. It's just a bunch of people from the south (who probably have never even seen rust before) saying "That cars past its prime" due to the fact it has minor surface door rust. The P.O. who originally built it drove it in the winter but kept good care of it. I don't care what anyone says; I like it; it was super cheap (by my standards atleast);it's MY car; it's rare; and until I find out its totally rotted to hell and unrepairable (Looks relatively spotless actually..) I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon! It's the first EVER M30B35 swapped touring in the U.S. and the swap is proper as fuck. Baxter likes his E30 but won't sell it for anything less than 6k. Everyone thinks thats over priced. Does Baxter care? No. It's his car; he likes it; and that's what he'd sell it for. My E30 was far from a perfect car and I also got cash ontop of the trade so I'm very happy. H8ers gunna H8. Or people are jealous that they don't have a swaggin' waggin'. who knows, right?! patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laishes Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 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.I'll have to run a HX40 to get over 450whp? I suppose your right!

I'm a big fan of that turbo. Best for a street car. Just over the size of a gt35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install that HX40 soon? I would love to come work on it! Haha you can buy my hx40 whenever you would like, I want bigger. And if you are serious about turboing it, I have a completely portable welding setup. My tig plugs into 110 and 220 so I can weld nearly anywhere. Also have portable welding cart and table. All fits in the back of the Subaru mkoepp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent gone super "into" the car but I'm sure the start of the rockers need a little love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even teach you so you can just do it yourself haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Laishes Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Also, double check it's a B35 head. Could be a B34, not a biggie, but that little bit would go a long way! Its a B35; was pulled out've an 89' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Its a B35; was pulled out've an 89' That's worth some money right there too as you have the stronger early block. You're set for doing a turbo build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 if you do a big turbo id do an electronic boost controller to help with low rpm crap -someone that doesnt know anything about turbos, but the logic seems sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Laishes Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 So after a nice drive up to Green Lake Wisconsin yesterday; me and Rowley found out a few things... One of the subframe bolts is completely missing The engines leaking some oil out of the oil pan gasket The underbody is spotless. same with the rockers. However, both front fenders will most likely need to be replaced at some point due to them rusting on the bottom. My wagon and snow do NOT mix. A turbo will eventually be added The plan of attack you ask??? Well... Most likely the subframe will have to be dropped to access the bolt (am i wrong?) after that is done we'll most likely do the oil pan gasket with a fresh oil change. Wire wheel and sand any surface rust that is on the doors/body and prime it to prevent it from rusting further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be dropped to remove old one.. Wire wheel and sand any surface rust that is on the doors/body and prime it to prevent it from rusting further.

Rowleym Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 He put it into 3rd, about 2500 rpms, down a hill, and that was enough torque to lock up the lsd haha.
