Default Bmw e30 m3 ls1/6spd TURBO

1988 E30 M3
1999 LS1 w/ LS6 Manifold and Shortys
Stock T56w/ Monster Stage 2 Clutch
4.10's LSD

So here is a short walk around video...


And my build thread...

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=250378

I have no idea how fast it is but it did easily walk away from a brand new 5.0. So about 12's

Plans are pretty simple. Heads and Cam for 400hp. The car weights about 2700lbs so I think 400hp is more than enough.

My swap is 2800lbs w/ a stock '04 GTO engine, so ~350hp. It's plenty fast. But have the same plans, a cam and heads and hopes for ~400hp.

I've also been looking at supercharging

Go back to individual throttle bodies or go bak to an s14 and drop a good size turbo on it. Lol

I have a procharged ls1 with built heads and a huge .624 cam. Once I figure this wiring out it will be ready form the road

What I would do for a e30 M3...

My two favorite cars fused! Planning on doing this to my E36 when I'm finished with my Camaro. Keep up the amazing work!
