24v was only the beginning... TRM powered e30

[Dominic49]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEktxmRaw1c

Well, I figure it's finally time to introduce myself. I'm Dominic49 and I'm a drifter. I've been around e30s for the past 4-5 years, I've gone through a bunch of setups from stock m20s to boost m20s to m62s and finally most recently an s50. I'm getting to a more competitive level of the sport and a 234whp e30 just isnt cutting it anymore, its time for power...


The base:
1989 325i 4 door.
cage
all bushings done
IE stage 3 springs and bilstein sports
factory "crash" camber plates
your run of the mill fully worked e30. ;)

[ZimDoc]

So what do you have planned for it? Top mount with a T3?

[Dominic49]

Well at the most recent event that I attended, Formula Drift Pro Am at Road Atlanta, I had some issue with clutch slipping so I figured it would be a good time to pull the motor and check things over.

while the motor was out I got some stupid idea from one of the local kids, some of you may know him as matt around these parts to throw some boost on the motor.

well as some of you might know matt is one of the masterminds up at TRM and they just so happen to know a thing or two about boosted bmws...

http://www.racersmarket.net/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=7&Itemid=93

so a couple of $$$$$$ later I got myself a turbo and manifold to mock up and figure out how to stuff into an e30 chassis.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FIpwuxIyty0/S-toH2E4LeI/AAAAAAAABRo/TfTYsH_kTAI/s640/SDC11069.JPG


the manifold fits fine but with the stage 2 compressor housing things were a little tight and it wouldn't fit quite right without a little bit of clearance on the subframe. so out the subframe came for some slight modifications.

while the motor was out again I figured it was time to figure out the oil drain system. yes a gravity drain is possible for a street car but for an all out drift machine I wanted to be absolutely sure I was getting the best possible drainage I could. So a quick shopping trip over to ebay netted me an SCP NASCAR scavenge pump with v belt pulley.

now some of you may be wondering wtf where did you vbelt your crank pulley with, well the answer is simple, a stock m20b25 accessory pulley on the crank will bolt up to the m5x crank with some 5/8" spacers and some longer bolts.

setup will be turbo to drip tank drip tank -8an to pump in pump out to drain on drivers side of pan. -4an vent from drip tank to -4an fitting welded to the cam access bolts on the upper timing cover.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FIpwuxIyty0/TBgU6g4n0TI/AAAAAAAABdg/tjG48kbz06w/s640/IMAG0012.jpg

well the motor is back in and subframe has clearance with the compressor housing now but the compressor now rested lightly on the control arm balljoint. this was unacceptable and with a swift move of the angle grinder the balljoint was shortened.


http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FIpwuxIyty0/TBV-bVEBgMI/AAAAAAAABdU/9GHgFJXkjFA/s640/SDC11207.JPG

in order to give myself a little more peace of mind i drilled some new holes in the TRM motor mount arm and raised the engine 3/4" on the passenger side.

well that just about brings all of you up to speed on me and my projects. the car will be off to KGMade for some intercooler piping and exhaust plumbing. as always only the best will be used Tial BOV and Tial 38mm wastegate with .7bar spring and TRM blow through maf. the engine should be running within the next week or so time and money willing.

[DTRguy]

pretty awesome! I say that because getting the bottom mount turbo setup to work on an E30 chassis def takes some thought and action. Hope it all works out!

[e30kid89]

Gah, looking good but I was hoping the TRM bottom mount stuffs would fit easier in an E30.:( I'm having hella fun with my m30 turbo but lurking here makes me want to build a 24v e30 w/boost to see what all the fuss is about.:D

If you can outline what you did to get everything to fit in the end that would be
great!

[jszy25]

I'm liking this build a lot. Good luck with the rest...can't wait to see some vids of it in action.

[futureroadracer]

I am very interested to see how this turns out.

[Julz69]

Gonna be a fun car when its completed. Any thoughts of changing the gearing?
Fix the brake lights!!

[Dominic49]

brake lights have been working for some time now. the video from earlier was from the first drive :D

many videos and pictures to come

in short to get it to fit bottom mount

slight massaging of the subframe (cut along the corner and hammer in weld back together)

drill new holes in motor mount arm .75" higher to raise engine on passenger side

shorten ball joint on passenger side and use a 7mm short nut and some locktite.


finally gearing is to be determined it has a zf and 3.73 welded right now but I also have a 2.93 welded in the garage so i can get some longer gears.

r3vlimit will be set around 6750 since the car will se alot of it

[good & tight]

should of got one of my top mounts to save you all the extra fab work.
You going draw or blow through on the tune?

[Dominic49]

Fab work is a non issue. Thee benefits of bottom mount are worth the minute extra work too make it fit. Lower cg lower under hood temps etc.

As mentioned previous trm blow through will be used.

[SiGmA]

Nice work on the install. I've always wondered how well a SPA manifold fits an e30, and know I know. I'm surprised they set you up with a Tial BOV vs a Synapse. The Tial does sound sick tho. Why isn't trm doing your pipe work too?

[highboostingm3]

Oh boy! I love this build thread! :redspot

I have been wanting an excuse to pick up an e30 vert and attach an e30 m3 body kit to it for my son's project car. I want 24v I-6 goodness and TRM blow-through tune droolness! :drool:

Can't wait for MOAR!

I'm having my sponsor/close buddy off my do the piping as I have been deriving for him for years now, don't get me wrong trm can build some sexy pipes it just a personal thing more than anything else.the tial bov was also one of those personal preference things.

Awesome build!! More pics =)

I'm doing the same for my e30...got wisecos and k1 rods from trm & a spa mani with my m50 in the garage. Gonna order a billet 6262 and my tial yummiez soon. Everyone makes trm's blow thru tune sound super badass, so I think I'm gonna go that route too. Your pics are really helpful, thx!

[E30Alpina]

good news on the bottom mount, didnt think there was enough clearence in the E30. I may have missed it but what are your HP goals? My SC plans have fell through and I am contemplating starting a turbo S52 E30 build instead. So many good used parts always for sale and the power options are great. Do you have any fear of weakening your subframe as it is not anymore triagulated all the way anymore?

i have no goals, what ever it makes it makes. i'll leave the magic in the hands of mike and matt. truthfully if i had just moved the brake booster over .75" or so i could of raised the motor up enough that all the subframe would of needed was a couple of choice hits with a a BFH hell most of my notching was done blind anyways and could be alot more localized now that i know exactly where to cut. i dont see the subframe being any weaker now but who knows i'll go smash some curbs with my peerless skidplate and let you know how it holds up. :D

Nice work. Can TRM do a tune for turbo on an m50 non vanos?

[DavidsM3]

Yes

[87shark]

Wow you work fast.

Yes
Actually, they cannot. TRM does not tune non-vanos motors or ECUs. :)

Exactly,
its lame to bother with such sauce. :rolleyes

[Dominic49]

a couple extra pics from today, got the charcoal canister relocated to behind the headlights with the e34 bracket. Is it fine having it plumbed like stock (TB > electric valve > canister > gas tank) or does it need a check valve to prevent boost from getting in the gas tank?

pump mounted drip can final postion cold pipe done hot pipe done


just need to get a vent line as summit sent me a -6an hose when i ordered -4an >.< and run the intake pipe. and do a few minor things here and there....

[5mall5nail5]

So you're going to pump the oil up with a mechanical pump? Idunno man - this is risky. That drip can thinghas to fill up fully, higher than the top for the pump to get oil. If the pump runs dry....

[Dominic49]

the drip can has a pickup tube going to the bottom and after testing it has no problems priming itself and keeping the tank dry.

we shall see how it ends up in the real world but all indications are that it will be fine, although I might have to move up to a bigger pulley and slow it down. right now it is right around 5/8 crank speed.

[Mr Deagle]

Jon, you may not recall, but my m10 has the same thing. Thats where he got the idea. Also every turbo porsche uses the same concept. Its a scavenge pump, it can suck an air/oil mixture no problem.

He has a tube that looks like this in his drip can.

Just seems like it'd be a better idea to keep the pick-up wet, unless it dips into the tank.

Oops - missed it, then yeah, that'll do. Didn't see the extension/fitting.

(His is going to be spinning a lot faster with the pulley sizes he's got going I think)

[5mall5nail5]

What RPM is the pump rated for and what is the range you'll be subjecting it to? The two setups have vastly different pulley sizes.

[Mr Deagle]

You are over thinking this d00d. Besides there isnt much load since its mainly oil/air mix.

[Dominic49]

What RPM is the pump rated for and what is the range you'll be subjecting it to? The two setups have vastly different pulley sizes.

I dont quite remember off the top of my head. trying to find the paperwork...

[5mall5nail5]

Deags, I'm not really over thinking the RPM of it all - very different pulley sizes. You have a very small pulley driving a large pulley. He has a large pulley driving a large pulley. Might be close to engine RPM if not higher. Make sure it's rated for that!

[Dominic49]

^^

[Mr Deagle]

He said 5/8 engine rpm. Mine is around 1/2. Nothing to really fret about.

[Dominic49]

for what its worth in the nascar application they run a 6.25 pump gear and a 4.5 inch gear on the yolk of the driveshaft. if your up for doing the maths nascar is restricted to a 9500rpm rev limit. tire circumference is 87.3 inches on the drivers rear and they are running around 180-190mph around 9000rpm

[Mr Deagle]

1:1 4th gear is all you really need to know.

About 6500rpm pump speed?

[5mall5nail5]

So long as its rated for it. Gear doesn't matter if they're running it off the driveshaft.

Fwiw a 4.5" drive pulley with a 5" driven pulley = 90% drive speed. So at 7000 RPM you're turning 6300 RPM.

[Mr Deagle]

Well, the engine eventually turns the driveshaft, 1:1 4th makes for engine rpm at driveshaft, 4.5" pulley to 6.25 pulley makes for 72% reduction so at 7k its at 5k.

[5mall5nail5]

Well, the engine eventually turns the driveshaft, 1:1 4th makes for engine rpm at driveshaft, 4.5" pulley to 6.25 pulley makes for 72% reduction so at 7k its at 5k.

Right, but then there's 5th gear ;) And idling, lol.

Well nascar only gets 4 cogs.

crank pulley is 3.375 iirc unless i measured it all wrong rofl then i could be wasting some HP by turning the pump faster than needed rofl

[Mr Deagle]

Thats only 3700rpm at 7000 engine, well below what nascar runs it at. Shit is fine.

[M3Feen]

What is the pump rated for?

[Dominic49]

2gpm at 3500 rpm. I'm going to looking making an adapter to use an m20 alternator pulley on the crank. It's around 2.2 inches

Why didn't you just do a normal drain? Is there something I'm missing using the E34 oil pan in a E30?'

[Dominic49]

there is a subframe in the way having the hose go down then up over the subframe then back down would not work so well especially in a high g sideways situation.

probably next time I'll run an e36 rear sump pan and relocate the swaybar to infront if the subframe. smack the firewall a little budda bing budda bang

I need to get my hands on a e30 again

[Dominic49]

rofl thanks guys! took a little longer than usual to process it sorry for the buzz kill

[YellowBed]

What bov is that? Sounds like a turkey kinda.

[Dominic49]

tial 50mm 11psi spring

[SAL's M3]

"I got a LEAKY" lol nice video that e30 must be an insane ride!

[Dominic49]

so far no smoking (besides from the rear tires :shifty) looks like the pump is doing its job

[futureroadracer]

What rear tires are you running? How is traction?

[Dominic49]

205/50-15 Falken 912s. 3rd gear works if I'm easy on the shift

[futureroadracer]

205's.. LOL, yeah I can't imagine you have much traction.

[Dominic49]

205's.. LOL, yeah I can't imagine you have much traction.

ya about time to step it up to 225s in the back. and get some ear plugs. i love the sound I just need some ear plugs for when i'm daily driving the car for the next week or so while I try to find the weak spots.

[futureroadracer]

Why not 245's or 255's?

Nice - looks like the fuel is a little on the lean side, but at that pressure/flow it should be ok. The dyno shows it could probably be a little smoother in the tune? What's you using?

[stanksbeamen]

Nice, I like the comparison graph SC vs Turbo. Thanks!

[5mall5nail5]

Yeah sc vs turbo is nice you can see why turbos are faster :) And, at least peak boost :)

[Dominic49]

Nice - looks like the fuel is a little on the lean side, but at that pressure/flow it should be ok. The dyno shows it could probably be a little smoother in the tune? What's you using?

the dyno afr was reading .5-.6 or so points lean due to the face that we had to crimp off the exhaust crank case vent port with some vice grips since the 3rd 02 sensor port was behind it. tune is trm blowthru.

[futureroadracer]

Nice!

[highboostingm3]

Love the comparisons showing area under the curve. :naughty

WinPEP FTW!:buttrock

[Dominic49]

comparison is fun what do you mean by "under the curve"

i really need to wrap the cold pipe as it gets pretty warm off the radiator.

Your new horsepower and torque curves. They are higher across the rpm band than the s50 N/A lines. All that extra area underneath the turbo horsepower and torque lines in between them and the s50 N/A lines. That my friend is area under the curve. It's mostly talked about before 4000 rpm in the low end.

[turbo325ii]

Thats a Fatty area under the curve! :D

Is it possible that the wiggly lines on the dyno can be caused by something else? Slight slippage or just the dyno itself being a little spastic... I mean you gotta leave room for the dyno to be erroneous maybe... Or is the power delivery really that Rambunctious???

Its interesting how some graphs are silky smooth while others are freaking jumpy!

[black bnr32]

Hey what was the street drive-ability with the 4.10 lsd?
I would imagine with the zf trans it would be knarly cruising on the freeway.

[Dominic49]

4.10 and zf are NOT highway friendly.

[ritoab]

4.10 and zf are NOT highway friendly.
3.91s and 6speed isn't either LOL

[Yahweh]

Its spa manifold for my e30 :)

Is that the spa motor mount arm also?

[BadBoostedBmwM3]

Are you stock CR or .140 MLS.

[Dominic49]

i'm such a child. hard to get it going in 3rd gear. but i finally got the shift to 4th for the smokeys

i would say 140ft or whatever is left after 210k is != 300 >.<

[milKt]

My horrid.

[Dominic49]

My horrid.


averaged 18mpg 130 miles round trip
not to bad of a drive.

[milKt]

Nice,
I already did the fluid/filter fresh up in my 92,
but once the fluid runs forward, it still wants to delay and then slam into 1st on its unsuspecting victims.
:(

Awaiting more resources for the 5 speed swap.

[Dominic49]

ya, a 5 speed swap will proabbly happen soon enough. I sourced one locally for $650 and he even said he will throw in a set of minty door panels. :D

[e30kid89]

So does this mean the car is back alive and happy now? I remember it had the case of the smokey-smokes awhile back.

[Dominic49]

yeah, back up and running.

ended up being i crack the ringlands on a three pistons

250+ coolant temps plus 9psi wasnt so healthy for them >.<

[twitchE36]

todays work

[BavarianLove]

Lol nice work!

[5mall5nail5]

just an FYI you're pulling an E30 by a BMW or two and a tree.

[Dominic49]

just an FYI you're pulling an E30 by a BMW or two and a tree.

e39 + e34 + tree = just enough to keep an e30 in check

[milKt]

yeah,
this is the Souf Laind!!

[turbo325ii]

Looking good Dom! Def the redneck way to do it! But guess what? It works! I must say I am impressed!

[Dominic49]

day 2 of work, kyle at www.kgmade.com started working with the short strand fiberglass to do some of the finishing work. the body line stil needs to be molded straight but it sure is looking a hell of alot better. tommorow we will finish getting the tail light situated and work on getting the rusty bumper bolts out so i can fit for the replacement. Then primer and possibly paint if there is still light left.
