Did you make the radiator yourself or did you place a custom sizing order?
Also how did you get in touch with marco? I tried contacting him but got no response :(

Maybe if marco was allowed to post here, and share his knowlege.... you could get in touch with him more quickly...

"Bring marco back!"

I Second That!!! :buttrock

But you can go to boostjunky.com and get in touch with him there.

E30 2 Envy: awesome setup, cant say i've seen something quite like that before, nice job it looks really clean.

Damnit! You got yours in before I did. Nooooo
Did you have to remove the ABS? If I have to then I might just end up selling the SC :(

[highboostingm3]

Congrats! That is sick! You must be so stoked to finally get it all finished!!!! When is the dyno? Wahoo! :redspot

[E30 2 ENVY]

yup... you will have to move the abs ... get a custome rad ( I could give you the dimensions.. move the charcol canister and the powersteering res. get a electric fan.... and all kinds of small little things......

Mind you I am anal for clean install and everything being perfect... lol

I think that I am the only boosted e30 / m50 in Canada now since randys car is gone.. :( :( :( :(


The car is insane... I need bigger / better tires lol

Marco is the man......

[Bryson]

haha, i have the bigger, better tires, and extra four lugs, but I don't want to dump ABS. I'll do some test fitting and shit to see if I can manage something. Where did you move your PS resirvoir? It won't fit on the e36 motor mount bracket with the SC installed? Do you have to move the charcoal canister even more than you do for the 24v motor swap?
One last thing.. are you positive that the m20, m50-s52 and m42 radiators will not clear the pulleys? The radiator can always be moved forward :evil2 with a saw

[gol10dr1]

That is unbelieveable. It's nice to see that there is still interest in the e30. Its a sleeper

[525iT_Feen]

Wow man. good stuff. Bring it to bimmer fest east or show and shine(or both since they are in the same weekend)

[2.8L]

hey looks great, Ive got a buddy with a 1989 M3 with a 97 e36 m3 engine conversion converted to obdI with cams and headers. it makes 287hp. him and his dad put it togeather. its my dream car. im looking to get A E30 M3 IN next few months. this car is wicked fast and excelerates sooo smooth. good luck with yours. im gealous.

[Rexversusu]

Interesting. Do my car next. Calgary isn't too long a drive from here. How much cash should I bring?

[2.8L]

okay after driving my friends e30 e36 conversion m3 and seeing this. I think that this is a project that i am interesting in undertaking, im looking to sell my audi a4 and buy an e30 M3 could someone help me out with the aprox. cost from me to swap an e36 engine making 250hp+ , also what is a resnable price for a a e30 m3 in pretty good condition?

[Rexversusu]

**E30 M3 RARE**
88 BMW E30 M3 red, rare, 5 spd, sunroof, fully loaded, beige leather interior, 100,000 mi, new exhaust, air intake, 16" Racing Dynamics, brand new tires $15,500 obo. Tel: 604-802-3385

Haven't seen it, but just saw that ad. It's across the border from you though.

[2.8L]

i have seen a few around here, its just the s14 engine scares me it seems from what i hear is very troublsome. but i love the cars my friend with the e36 conversion is selling it to me possibly for around 20 with 40k on the new engine and drive train. if i were to buy a higher milage one planing on swapping the motor would it cost me in more worn drive train components? i would love his car, i just dont wan to write off having my own project.

[2.8L]

thanks for the help and replying so quickly

[E30 2 ENVY]

I would do a m50/s50/s52 into e30 conversion for someone but it would not be cheep.

This car has been a 7 year project .... with lots of bumps on the way.

I have done ALL the work myself except for the custome exaust and the paint job. EVERYTHING else I have done.

The car is now crazy fast. It is suposed to make 300RWHP but I just got it done on tuesday and It will need some more tuning as it is really rich after 5k ...
( I asked for it to be this way to start and get three free reburns from RMS to get it to where I want itl)

I have to take it to the dyno to get a base line with the charger and go from there.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dealing with RMS through MArco. ..
Everything is how I asked for it and the tuning is EXACTLY what I wanted. Plus Marco has been such a great help with all of my questions.

I cant wait to get this thing finly tuned and see what it will put down..

Thanks for all the great replies guys.....

I will gladly help anyone looking for info on anything I have done to the car.

[E30 2 ENVY]

I would gladly install a supercharger into your e30/m50 if you got one.

If not talk to marco and order one up ( supercharger that is ) .. He is great.

Expect to bring lots of money though lol...

Custome rad.....
custome air box .....
custome power stearing mount. ...
greddy oil catch can... ( yet to be installed )


But very rewarding when it fires up and drives with no issues.

i'm curious about what you find out with that catch can, i've always been wondering if they are really worth it, i mean is there really that much blow by? as i have thought about putting one on my turbo 318 (turbo goes in in 2 weeks) down the road.

[empowerd]

looks good Mike. Took long enough, but the pay-off feels even more satisfying that way. There are a couple supercharged M50/E30s around Toronto (2.8L & 2.5L).

Congrat's on such a great conversion.One can tell it is a labor of love.And I am sure Marco's help was invaluable.He is a great guy and very knowledgeable.However,too bad RMS is a hit and miss company.You got the hit,but I have alot of friends that got the miss.
