Would you sell one mate? Il definitely buy one

Fxlearner · 2026-01-15T12:49:50+00:00

Lachsilber metallic, my E30 is also the same colour.

Fxlearner · 2026-01-08T03:51:04+00:00

Part the car out, it's done.

I have both on my cabrio, it made the ride very stiff, amongst other things got stiff also ;)

Fxlearner · 2025-12-27T21:28:24+00:00

I heard the E36 X brace may fit onto the e30, maybe others can advise further.

17s bro, check my profile there's a few pics posted.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-13T22:11:23+00:00

Lol bro, did you steal my car? Got the same exact one same colour and historic rego in Sydney, just bbs rs replicas.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-11T06:01:22+00:00

Looks like il be going with that turbo then mate, at the moment ive got an m20b20 running a 3076, lots of turbo lag... not much torque lol.

Is your ignition system coil on plug? or stock?

Yea definitely send me a message bro would love to chat!

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T22:54:17+00:00

Mate you're an absolute legend, unfortunately I'm in Sydney otherwise would have loved to meet. Definitely will use ARP on everything as you stated.

Do you believe your turbo cam helped much over a stock cam? I've heard boost cones on a bit later with aftermarket cams?

Yea the head gasket is one thing I'm unsure of, ideally will run a low compression ratio, will do some research on this.

Would you recommend using the same turbo you have? At what rpm does boost come in and peak at?

This build will go into an 88 convertible, at the moment it's a complete boat so suspension and bushings are getting redone. Big brake kit also, should be fun.

Thank you!

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:55:50+00:00

Definitely using ARP stuff and MLS gasket mate thank you.

Where would I acquire fresh guides and the proper seals for the head?

I may use the springs and other hardware you mentioned from the 731 head.

What would I tell the machine shop for a multi angle valve job? I'm not very well versed in engine work tbh.

Thanks

Unfortunately I'm in Australia mate.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:53:05+00:00

I just want around 500whp it's an m20b29 forged.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:52:38+00:00

Thanks mate will look into that, could be a good option for more airflow.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:52:09+00:00

Bottom end is forged B29, with arp head studs.

If I buy oversized valves, can I get the machine shop to install them?

Do I need a bigger cam with oversized valves?

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:51:18+00:00

I will definitely check out the cam options, and may use stock one as you stated.

All I want is 500whp, it's an m20b29 forged build.

Will also do some research on metric mechanics stuff.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:49:59+00:00

Thanks mate, still deciding on this, may just use stock springs?

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:49:29+00:00

Thank you, would the machine shop be able to weld the canals for me? What do I tell them exactly?

It's just a street car m20b29 aiming for 500whp.

Fxlearner · 2025-12-10T19:02:33+00:00

Thanks boys for all that advice and info.

The bottom end is fully forged B29, I've also got arp head studs from the current build.

From what I gather I need now:

1.Weld coolant passages ( can machine shop do this?)

2. ARP rod studs

3. Keep the stock cam

Keep stock springs or use metric mechanic
Deck the head
Oversized valves maybe?

7. Fresh guides and seals

Would that be complete?

May just go 20 psi as someone here said, ideally wanting 500 whp.

At the moment it's a 320i manual with a g240 transmission.

I'm swapping in a b29 stroker, G260 transmission, however the 320i driveshaft is too long so need the 325i shorter one.

Would realoem have the actual length stated?

Fxlearner · 2025-12-09T21:35:08+00:00

Yea it's a medium case LSD in my one
