    SR20det swap E30 BMW aem Infinity Flex Fuel




    Getting to play a little, still a struggle to get power to the ground with the 265's but super fun!




    Finally got a few pictures of my project out here in Bangkok.
    Check out the Blog for details and a little write up. Brewed Motors Flex Fuel SR20 BMW E30
    Also check out my RB25 powered E36 street car http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...M-v2-flex-fuel

    I will try and keep it to mostly pictures and video here on the forum Of course please feel free to ask any questions, always happy to help out if possible.

    Super short build list:

    2dr E30
    s14 SR20det (Stock Block)
    AEM Infinity ECU
    ID 1050xds Injector Dynamics
    O44 bosch fuel pump
    E85 ~25-30psi on the S15 turbo **update, buddy gifted me an EVO 8 turbo so i used that instead of the S15 gt28
    BC sports coilovers 8k front
    TOM rear coilovers (custom dilly)
    E46 front control arms
    VE symmetrical angle kit
    Sparco seat
    Complete E34 rear subframe/driveline/suspension/brakes



    Coming from the states where i have every tool imaginable at my finger tips this little project is tacking me back to my roots!



    I am still waiting on most of the parts to get this thing finished up and on the road. But here are a couple things that have already arrived The Big package of electronics and fuel parts from Brewed should be arriving in about 5 days. Just hope customs doesn't rape me on this one!

    paint is about 1-2 years I believe but it sat at a dealers lot for the past 14 months cause it ran like poo... Lets hope that wasn't do to large mechanical issues inside the engine

    25-30 psi on a GT2560R.... hahahahahah

    Do you just like to watch the boost gauge wrap around? That thing will choke the compressor inlet around 16-18 psi depending on the cams and manifolds.

    The japanese guys seem to have really good luck rapping the s15 turbos out to 20+ psi.

    Ummm... you can make them boost that high in the midrange, but why bother? It's a 300 rwhp turbo. I did that much at 15 psi on the turbo with stock cams.

    Any higher boost and you're just destroying the turbo and making maybe 2 HP more.

    Why not get a turbo that's at least marginally sized for the engine and higher HP like a GT2871R at the smallest.

    The S15 turbo at 25-30 psi for mid range rpm will be fine, i suspect i'll be able to make 380-400 torque with it. I agree though at high rpm i'll have to tapper the boost down to around 18-20 by redline if i don't want a bunch of hot air.

    This will actually be a very similar set up to what i did for the 4g63 in my VR4 Twin scroll EVO 8.5 turbo galant vr4

    Idk what they run for cams or whatnot, I just see a lot of D1 SL cars with stock s15 turbos. Just saying.

    NICE, have to love the nissan engine conversions. i put an rb26det in my e46 as it seemed like the best way to get a reliable 500hp out of it

    Well I finally received the nice fat box of goodies Brewed sent me from the US.

    Decided i would yank the engine harness to clean things up before i slip the AEM in and start tuning.

    Couldn't find an electric shop ANYWHERE in my area (near Bangkok) that had what i needed... or even understood what i needed haha, SO I cannibalized the old gauge cluster i wont be using.
    Didn't find the 100 ohm resister that i needed but i did score a 70 ohm and a 30 ohm bing bang boom soldered inline =100 ohm resister!

    Toyota JZ are much more reliable and require no sump modification to be fitted. I'd like to see what you did with the sump and oil pick up to get it in a e46

    Some preliminary tuning, just making a bit more head room for more boost and RPM

    updates coming, things are moving slowly on my personal car at the moment got my hands full getting the Buddy Club Thailand DC5 circuit car ready for a few up coming events.

    Just finished up the engine harness yesterday:


    Looking forward to building a pretty the coil harness for my SR after the way this one turned out.
