_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted March 27, 2013 SO MUCH ROOM IN M40 E30 ENGINE BAY looks like a good tidy install, i like how you mounted intercooler, didn't hack front bumper to bits like most turbo E30s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubman 39 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Cert plate's finally attached, WoF tomorrow. Runs really rich, so will look into tuning options (stock ECU now) but runs well. It's a "raw" ride with solid engine mounts and some exhaust fouling issues (no big deal, just vibrations). Full boost below 4000 rpm (redlines 5800) but boy oh boy, does it haul. Shout outs to: Dan @ Slater Fab for making this great setup! Tom and the team @ Pitstop Grey Lynn for being GC's with advice, fittings and cert related issues Next on the list: 710N VW/Audi recirculating valve Electric fan to make room for a shorter intake pipe Fix the exhaust "dump pipe" angle to get more clearance to the body Possible tune (more research) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
