Thanks byron, i hope to have the car back in a few weeks. the shop is backed up so they wont look at it for a week or so but when its done we are taking a road trip and gettin a video of the dyno runs and then some video of the trip home

gonna be great,

sorry to everyone for the slow progress lately, ive been swamped with work out of town and am only home i day a week which leaves little time to play with my toy. but it will be done soon

Wow I didn't know what kind of power you could make when putting 2k in your car but 550 is more that enough.

This is going to be massively sweet

. Good to see someone taking the time and effort to do this... love the pics, look forward to seeing some vids of this beast unleashed

youre making me hate the fact i have the ix from what i hear turbo is no god on drive shafts for ix any opinion

**denyo77** · 03-01-2008, 08:53 AM

ixes are awesome! And they got LSDs as stock parts

I'd love to have one

Pretty schweet boost build. What did you use to weld up the manifold, had to have been a TIG?

**MTurboPower3** · 03-01-2008, 06:50 PM

Wow that looks like it will be a sick car when its finished, 530-550 hp out of an e-30 is rediculous. You should be able to hit 170 easily on it.

**Exilion** · 03-10-2008, 12:16 PM

Damn that is a sweet project. How does the tranny and drive shaft hold up to that much of a change in hp?

**jahnaboi** · 10-02-2008, 06:05 PM

Do you remember the torque specs that you put everything at? I'm in the process of a rebuild as well with my s50b30.

**dunphy88** · 03-12-2009, 08:33 PM

This is sick, I have the exact plans for my car, just got the stock motor pulled and need to get started building the s50 I've got. It surprised me to see that you bored the motor because I've heard that head gaskets are known to go up in these under much boost since the pistons are so close together. Btw I made an account on here just because of this thread haha
