    E30 Turbo project

    Hey heres my ride
    1990 BMW 3-Series Sedan 325i
    The car as it sets is not in running condition and in the progress of a 5-speed swap
    Once the car is running and driving there will be a good sized turbo installed and making between 300-400whp on low boost this spring
    plans after i have it running and boosted i want some better looking wheels im not a fan of the ones that came on the car
    current mods i am aware of and that matter are(i say that because its not running)

    Suspension
    KYB Gas adjust shocks with vogtland lowering springs

    Exterior
    ZENDER Sport rear lip spoiler

    Engine
    Custom exhaust with cherry bomb mufflers










    trying to find the problem i have shit disconnected





    missing some trim here and there but i also had it torn apart cleaning stuff too






    =The Daily= 05 mailbu classic ok mpg and comfy auto commuter
    =The Toy= 1990 325i sedan waiting for boost
    =4x4 Status= 1999 Toyota 4Runner limited
    =Gone but not forgotten= 98 impreza RS with JDM 97 STi swap and 4.444 gearing, 04 Neon SRT-4 big turbo 420whp at 24psi,
    Slammed 89 dodge d100 long wheel base.

      Rear spoiler is awesome. 4 doors are awesome. E30 is awesome. Good luck with the build!

        Thanks! when i bought the car i was told it was just a VW rear spoiler but it turned out it was a fairly uncommon zender spoiler for e30s.
        I have sooooo much plasti dip to remove from a previous owner getting way out of control with the stuff
        the plan is to get the car clean looking low and somewhat fast on some good looking wheels.
        This is what im wanting to get the car looking like just lower on some 16x8s

            It probably was made for both since both models have similar back end designs the spoiler I have is a zender heckspoiler and from the numbers on it a very old one at that

                  Big update ive been working slowly on the car and it now runs
                  Starting to clean it up I still can not find out the brand of the wheels all i know now is that they are 4 lug universal 15x6.5 +38 et that were originally silver


                  The motor and 5 speed Just another M20B25


                  Starting to strip out stuff getting the swap started


                  I ran in to a snag and cleaned the headlights since the yellow high beams just wasnt my thing.


                  My snag was the fact the car had 1 piece from the manifold all the way to the tip. So i fixed it with a portban.



                  The bad motor gone.....


                  This is just after the 1st drive.


                  These are the options that came on the car when new


                  Here is a video of the first startup It smoothed out after warming up.

                  Not sure who i should contact but this probably be moved from the intro to the project section at this point
