e30 or e36? It makes a huge difference.

Derik 357i, u are the man! thankyou so much.
the ls1gen111 is a relatively new engine in aust, so when u talk to so called performance shops they tell u that u are crazy and that it wont fit!! i plan to prove them wrong with help of this site.

The other nice thing is that the e36 chassis has room for a rear drop oil pan. I am running a dry sump setup because I wasn't thrilled about running the front drop holden pan.

You should go nuts with the car and give Harrop a call and run their ITB intake. That would look proper under the hood of a bmw.

Best of luck

Derekl
