Apex Effects

wow thats what i call a low tire haha. if i didn't see so many people in there Chrysler 300c's on 285/25/22 an enough Isuzu bighorns on 265/30/22 id probably say good on them but on new zealands rather poor excuse for roads its so impractical. its like dodging land mines when it comes to pot holes that kill tires(what us tyre fitters call IMPACT FRACTURES) an rims(hello crack in rim ). al i say is hope the people silly enough to think these tires worth a try...hope ya got a rather large bank account

what about nissan?

it is very cool just something different to do why not be super unique . Stretch that engineering envelope. shows what millionaire's do for fun lol i wouldn't mind owning it.

nice drive. e30 ute would be nice. wonder how hard it is to make one

He used 4 sets of those massive tires lol 285 35 18s that's some expensive rubber( i know i work in a tyre shop) an i bet he staked a few times. love the j turn an the enter warehouse 360 leave bit. then just gets out an slams the door like "i could have done better freakn piece of S**t car lol"

sorry mike bad habbits die hard

yea i was just curious on it an thought that in a 318 would make a nice lil drift car. an yea i havent always wanted it. 2 be honest ive always wanted a m20b25(or b27) turbo when bmws r concerted that is. an yea the sr20 quad throttle bodys r a waste of time. an the rb ive got dont got no carbon canister. ive also been talkin 2 the guys on snz bout it an going with wat foreversideways has said 2 do. an that is 2 remove the idlle control valve an just ajust the throttle screw 2 copensate. then just make the vacum lines for al my other stuff(eg boost gauge, turbo wastegate, bov, brake booster, fuel pres reg) an we should be al gud. with a custom plenum welded to a factory set of runners. an also bout bmw stuff, ill be building a e30 with a m30b30 in it with old jono's(325_driver) help. an have some fun with that but thats after ive finished the 200sx an finished my/brothers car(ke70 dx corolla wags) i seem 2 be full of ideas for fun cars but my wallet never agrees with me lol

its my current car an it came with the rb20det in it. if i got the s13 coupe version(not the hatchback) i would have got 1 with a sr20det in it. but its not. also just a random question how much do e30 m3 s14 motors go for an any in nz? just having thoughts bout a new bmw build for future

i fully agree. i was the one that had 2 burn my eyes 2 take the picture wow my eyes hurt lol

holy crop shes so so stupid lol

duno wat a shell worth? is it pre facelift?

sweet as, will do

cheers silver fox. rebore it is yea i know brent suggested go with the m30b35, but i just wana try it this way if it dont work out meh. ill just drop back to chucking a m20 in it an play with that. either way dont try you will never know, an as i said in a earlier post a 330 e30 sounds cool(i know 335 is just as cool but hey its bout being different) so lets go from there. ill go inquire at a local engine builder to see how much a rebore will set me back round here(tauranga) an go from there. as stated at the start this is a side project so it will be slow progress. cheers for al the possitive imput guys. an topcat i think i mite be visiting you for some parts. marty isnt it? for a alternator, starter, exhaust manifold an gearbox

well i at build the motor stage/planning. so lets see where can i get some 730 pistons, rods and a crank from? a low mount manifold would be cool if its needed to make everything fit. flip the throttle body over to the otherside of the intake manifold. so yea anyone know where to get the parts from?(pistons,rods and crank? wat cost i looking at?)

i have considered the m20, i was just given this motor so thought id have a crack. an yea i will look into the e28 stuff an e30tech. but yea compression will need 2 be dropped id say. an the engine had average kms. has a cracked sump pan at the moment is minus alternator, starter an exhaust mainifold. well at the moment i wana clean it up set it up 2 handle the turbo then worry bout how to mount it in a e30. sure that might be a logical thing to account for now but its sitting on my garage floor begging to be cleaned an improved. so from wat ive read so far. brent says i can use m30b30 crank pistons an rods to increase my displacement to 3000cc(i like the ring e30 330 has to it) so i after is this true as his pictures of his book on m30's says the m30b28 has same stroke an different bore. 86mm in the 2.8 aposed to 89mm for the 3 litre. so i after hard facts on is it doable. just a non turbo 330 e30 would be cool but turbo is too tempting. so here i am stage 1 clean up engine, increase displacement, lower compression, stregthen it, then mount it in a car an run it in. then colect the turbo parts after i have the car running. so my question is does anyone have engine parts out of a 730?

well i thought that a 3 litre would be enough. an i like a challenge. i have heard there are more parts avalible but surey m30b30 parts are still avalible? personaly i think it al comes down to wanting to be different.

wow i love negative critasism. its so fun to listen to. next time i wont ask for help or parts ill just tinker in my garage by myself.

yea i guess id be spending alot. an as for pistons the bore on the block i got is aparently 86mm according 2 brents lil magazine so i duno wat to do there. he told me that 730 pistons rods an crank should go in but i duno. i in planning so more research is being done. - low compression 90mm pistons and cylinders and rest of stuff to rebuild the bottom end(?? not sure if these will fit my block) - head gasket(esential in any power build) - turbo manifold and downipe - turbo, intercooler, wastegate (maybe), blow off valve - bigger injectors - aftermarket computer(microtech maybe, wat ever does the job well) - dyno time or AFR gauge - blah blah $12,000+ unless you do a lot of stuff yourself, blah blah

hey people ive just aquired myself a gud old m30b28 an am after some parts to making it into a m30b30 turbo. any help would be great objectives its just going 2 be a street car just want it for the sake of having it already started susing out parts(alternator, starter, gearbox) just after the rest of the stuff an advice on wat to do's an donts anint worked out a total budget yet just going 2 c wat parts are going for an go from there. it will be a slow side project so if ya wanting 2 see a final project u will be waiting awhile lol cheers shaun

how much for the shell

how much? 4door?

well the motor was free(thanks jono) so was going 2 see wat it can do. an it will be supercharged or turboed so it wont be slugish lol. so i use the b28 block an head an get b30 crank pistons and rods? sounds simple. no catch? like sump size? also any 1 got these parts?

hey just a quick question ive just picked up a m30b28 out of a e28 an was wondering if i could increase its capacity to 3000cc? is this possible?

nice cheap turbo project dude. personaly id make my own steampipe mainifold so u can set it up 2 sit the turbo where ya want it. an id think would flow better that the log factory manifold.

Hydrogen cars sound more fun! an that P50 looks fun!
