1992 525it with an M30B35 Swap

Lovin the yellow zip ties on the radiator!
Hahaha! it's really the only "janky" thing i've noticed thus far. I figure ill get upper rad mounts sooner or later but the zipties seem to be working great!
-
Just because it's a wagon doesn't mean it won't be garage queening it up!
I have my trusty toyota corolla as a daily driver
Personally I would most likely run an HX35 for my setup?
Man the hx35 is such a baby turbo.. You would only be good for around 350wheel without ripping into the motor. Spool would be god damn instant.
sk8 or die

HX35 is pretty phat! I could run either I guess (HX35 or HX40). But I'm almost certain the HX35 is good up to 500whp?

Lets hear it!!
i'll take a video for you later!
-
oh even about that. I'm saying you cant run that high of boost levels without digging into the block.
You can run 500whp on an M30b35. MLS gasket; arp studs and your pretty good!
-
videos have been demanded by the interwebs...
you musn't upset the balance...
^we want videos

What I'm saying is you won't be able to make 500whp on a stock m30 with hx35 because you would need boost pressures of 35+psi and that's not happening. I was saying you would make around 350whp on an hx35 on that motor with a decent amount of boost. With e85 I bet 450.

There's a "build thread" on bimmerforums for this car. Its been around and heard many people say to stay away from it. As long as it was worth it yo you
Minus the surface rust; mechanically it's in great shape. I even checked out the rockers and they are clean aswell. So far I've noticed nothing but good things about this car-- it's solid and well put together

Dude even it's a pile you got it for nothing. Well, pretty close.

Yeah no doubt Rowley;
I saw the forum Baxters talking about.
It's just a bunch of people from the south (who probably have never even seen rust before) saying "That cars past its prime" due to the fact it has minor surface door rust.
The P.O. who originally built it drove it in the winter but kept good care of it.
I don't care what anyone says;
I like it; it was super cheap (by my standards atleast);it's MY car; it's rare; and until I find out its totally rotted to hell and unrepairable (Looks relatively spotless actually..) I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon!
It's the first EVER M30B35 swapped touring in the U.S. and the swap is proper as fuck.
Baxter likes his E30 but won't sell it for anything less than 6k. Everyone thinks thats over priced. Does Baxter care? No. It's his car; he likes it; and that's what he'd sell it for.
My E30 was far from a perfect car and I also got cash ontop of the trade so I'm very happy.
H8ers gunna H8.
Or people are jealous that they don't have a swaggin' waggin'. who knows, right?!

I'll have to run a HX40 to get over 450whp?
I suppose your right!
