| Very nice, you should homebrew turbo that! There are already guys who make manifold adapters, etc for E30s, you should def give it a look! (Or you could just use the 524TD manifold, lol)

| I thought about it, but all of my money is going to be directed into swapping a m52 328 e36 engine into it, and then a nice gt40/42 turbo setup on that engine.

| well that's a good idea, what I was suggesting was the cheaper way to do it, but doing the m52 swap+turbo is doing it the right way

| Wow, I just want to say, WHAT A NICE Z8! Anyhow, yea, the light e30 with that powerplant and turbo should be a real ass kicker!

| Thanks! I actually just brought it to Motorworks West for a bunch of OE fixes and minor upgrades/tweaks...can't wait for them to be finished! A 40R in an E30 would be kinda useless....but so much fun!

| Nah, not with the setup I am running. It will be quite useful actualy when I take it to the track. It will be a spinner, but very quick too.

| What will you run? With 40R power numbers, and the E30 suspension geometry and tire widths, it will always be difficult to put the power to the ground. I mean hell, my E36 with a GT35R would spin its wheels freely at a 65mph roll at any given time.

| When I race it, it will be on wrinkle wall slicks, with D2 coilovers. It may not hook up like my awd did, but she should hook up. Either way it will be fun. Have any pics of the E36? Sounds very nice!

| M/T ET Drags will be good, I just hope you beef up your driveshaft, half shafts, subframe, diff mount, diff, and trans....otherwise you're going to be breaking that stuff quite often. And wtf are D2 coilovers? My E36:       RogueM3 now owns the car, and has been doing a bunch of new upgrades to it. He now has an AEM PnP on it with 75lb injectors, IIRC...he has updates in his thread, in this forum.

| Very nice car, awesome turbo setup as well! D2 are a affordable, nice quality coilovers for people like me who cannot afford hr and such. I love those, and many people were happy with him.
