timmer Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 The new home build can’t begin soon enough! The E30’s are out of storage and the X5 and Wife’s Mazda get the boot.... Went from a 4 car garage to a two stall... Here’s to getting the driveway and shop in by the end of may! Much work that needs to get done on the ‘86...#duplexlife P_Roloff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmer Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 FALL UPDATE I’ve finally made the decision with the drivetrain, and the 2.7i is our the door, and S52 is in... 😀 I found a nice, refreshed/bulletproofed S52 and ZF 5-speed for sale in Belvidere Illinois, and the car is heading down today to have its heart transplant... The S52 is built nice with Schrick 264/256 cams, 3.5” MAF, 24# flow matched injectors, 93 octane tune with 7,200k redline, full obd2, ews/emissions delete, and a host of other goodness. Stay tuned for build pics! -Tim straight6pwr, AsparagusMike, wasnt m3 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmer Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Using an e21 brake booster, and a custom wiring harness...the guy doing the swap is a wizard at making harnesses. Keeping full OBD2 functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest gripe with the E30 clusters is the lack of lighting. LEDs help a ton, but the needles are always hard to see at night. I really want to upgrade to illuminated needles, its just a lot of work! Nice job, I cant wait to see more updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im excited for you man! Thanks Snap!! I had a chance to put a few miles on today, and all I can say is wow! With the schrick cams, it’s pretty docile around town under 4,000 rpms, and very streetable. Over 4K it is a beast and is hunting for traction. I couldn’t be happier! Too bad I have to put her under wraps soon... can’t wait for the E30 picnic! Jdesign, B C, straight6pwr and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
