CamB 48 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 Mint - should spool pretty quickly then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 That's what I'm hoping for, basically something to improve the M30's already impressive torque and power and give a bit more top end. Not intending to go for a high revving thing, the M30's best down low and mid range, so just enhance that a bit I hope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 wholly tiny turbine housings batman.... (Hopefully the MV-R44 can flow enough up the top-end on the 3.5L to not boost-creep on you.) And on that nice manifold.... would expect a nice big T.HSG I have absolutely no doubt Steve would have set you up with exactly what you want, just a surprisingly small T.HSG Very excited to see how things go & the In-Car vidi's to come Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 Does it have a lot of space or did it just fit. It looks good, great effort by the fabricator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 Seems to be enough room, still haven't got the block I'm using in there yet, got to do a rebuild on an E34 3.5 and then bolt it all together and drop it in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 The race car has had a new rear subframe installed, all new bushes etc, also has the dogleg box removed and a std E34 overdrive manual fitted. Had to change the lsd from a 3.45 to a 4.10 to compensate for the gearbox change as well. It's all ready for the last round at Hampton now, then it goes on the market, $18,000 if anyone's interested. It has started and finished all races this year. I'll start another project thread on the new car with the turbo in the next few weeks as the build starts.
