BMW E30 M3 1UZ-FE R154

[logie74]

Hi all i have had the car for three weeks now, it came without engine and gearbox and at the right price. Have been going through the motions of trying to decide what engine to use, rb25det,2jz,bmw m50 and 1uz. So after many hours surfing on the net i have decided to go with 1uz-fe.

Have purchased majestic engine front cut and r134 gearbox will use dellow bell housing kit.

I also have autronic engine management but will start the conversion first using all standard equipment.

The M3 will be used as a club track car but registered so weekend club drives can be done.

I am also using the assistance of a friend who will comply the vehicle for Australian registration including Left hand to right hand drive,6 point roll cage, and engine conversion.

The car currently has coil over suspension and Nissan 4 spot brakes fitted. The car must have been used for some track work with its previos owner in japan, as it used to have a roll cage and a 2.5l s14 bmw engine which was borrowed by the person i bought the car from.

So hopefully if all goes well it should be on the track middle of next year, but have to finish wifes outdoor patio first.

I'm sure once the car is running i will want more power turbo or supercharger or higher compression N/A but plenty of time to decide.

Thanks

Any thoughts or advise please email me

R-154 OK


That said!!!

I've finally started, the engine mounts have been made and the engine is sitting in a half cut BMW E30 where i'm manufacturing all the conversion components before they will be fitted to the M3.

Will take some pictures soon.

Now starting on brake booster will be a bit of a challenge but i have a few ideas i will try mounting the booster directly behind pedals on the firewall eliminating the under dash cross linkage.
