e30 325i turbo- what needs to be done?
antony replied to chrisvlok's topic in Forced Induction & Performance Tuning
No, it only runs with LPG. -
^^^ you'd want to make sure the strut is off the tie rod and control arm ball joints first. But if you just do it the normal it probably wont take any longer. Hunt around, someone you know will probably have some spring compressors.

Haha, at the Hyde St keg party (a annual street party my street has), some chick bought her old man and he was doing keg stands a 12pm . This is in Dunedin.
-
Haha, theres a whole thread dedicated to the 'dragon in the engine bay'. E: here
-
phase? does it end . It used to be like this with e30's, (still is, but not as much), next will be e46's when they're cheap enough. Good article, especially for someone who has little to do with e36's.

Booking it on sky now, love your other video clip, I actually saw it on ALT TV the other day.

No, don't think they're needed.

Just checked my emails, CatCam was £227

CatCam. Want to get it in and running before MegaSquirt. But that is my next step.

Hey, good to see you made it. Pics are a must.

Got mine from Ant Woodjets from e30zone.net He builds e30's in the UK, and was great to deal with. [email protected] Was ~$800 for a 272/272 cam, a chip to run the 2.7, and insured delivery.

Thanks for putting in all this effort Ollie. I think my postage address is put down as a PO Box. If it's being couriered I have another address I can give you.

Unless you do all the fabrication and installation yourself, 3g is impossible. (even then your pushing it!). -

You really need to do some research a. check out e30tech.com, those guys know there stuff when it comes to turbo m20's. you could get away with a stock ECU by using a rising rate fuel pressure regulator (gives you more fuel when theres more 'boost'), but you will only be able to get 7psi max. BUT i don't want to put ideas in your head. Turbocharging a car is a very tricky process, and this doesnt simplify it anymore. Your best bet is would be a stand alone ECU, like MegaSquirt (easily the cheapest, but very 'involved' installation). Turbocharging a car is not a simple process (to put it blunt) -
But what was the average wage then?It's all sort of relevant, as said in another thread, the economy (sort of) keeps up with things like fuel prices. I think it will be a long time before we cant fill up our tanks. And when it is, I'm outta here, cause the country will be in the pits (like zimbabwe [sp]).

"Stupid-Free location"?, is Hyde St. a "Stupid-Free location"?

Didn't some of the early ones have water or lead filled bumpers? myth? That, combined with the engine sitting over the rear axles, and me having a sorta physics brain, makes me wonder if I would enjoy it much . I know bugger all about them, but this is cool: trademe And when I was driving over to chch during easter holidays, I drove past a guy in a old porsche, and even though it was just for a second, you could see the ear to ear smile of a person who driving a car they used have on there wall as a kid. Hope I look like that when I'm driving my F430 lol.

And they're are trying to get us to buy New Zealand made (I assume there made here). It's no wonder people go overseas when a product is 25% of the cost it is here.
-
Not really sure what's going on, but good to something is. Ollie is my plate the 'NZ europlate' in black? e.g black NZ flag.

You can get an additive for oil paint that will have it dry in hours. Bimmersport, Bebo, and StumbleUpon. But at the moment a 1200 and a 1500 word essay, both due this thursday. Problem is, it's not wet and miserable outside.

By the way they've been painted in the pic, they look two piece. Possibly. Chances are they are only one piece though. E: I was talking about the konig's. The wheels your looking at Laurence are B-E-A-UTIFUL.
-
Are your springs in now? If your not happy with the initial drop, wait a week or two for them to settle. Again great work on looking into these wheels, a lot of people talk about doing this sort of thing (myself included), but few actually go through with it.

Someone should just buy an electric leaf blower and rangi one up.

5.13 Being unemployed, earning less than 30k doesn't help the cause tho. (student) The pics that show he kind of girl you can pick up with your score are kinda creepy.
