1990 e30

I got the new oil filter relocation set up, pics to come in the future on that.
Got the first start up done today but unfortunately I cannot control the fuel pressure. The lowest it will go is 70 psi, with the Aeromotive 13139. The e30 fuel return is too small, apparently on late model e30s there is a venturi on the drivers side of the tank that sucks fuel to the other side of the tank. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I would like to keep the factory tank which means that Venturi system needs to stay intact for the tank to work properly. I might tee the return as it enters the factory location and run another line up to the fuel pump and install a fitting. Anyone have this issue before? What a pain...
Apparently this new fuel pump is the shit...lol

Finally go the car on the ground ready to street tune. Just teed on the return and added a fitting to the DS sending unit, fuel pressure is solid. Oil filter relocation is mounted (none of it touches by the way). Ground clearance is solid, lowest point of anything is the turn down which is about 3.75". And added some pictures of the interior, wire diagram I made, and glove box mess.

Yes, launch control certainly is absolutely useless...I'm going to figure the biggest drag radials that will fit and get them on by spring.

I’ll preemptively pour one out for your driveline

Alright I've entered full on sleeper mode. I added the 3.5" cutout and a full 3" exhaust with a resonator/bullet muffler and a walker sound fx 18160. Thing is so quiet, driving down the road can't hear the engine at all. In fact. this made me worried because now I can hear all these e30 noises I haven't heard in a long time. Subtle transmission sounds, rattles, its crazy. The car has polyurethane mounts everywhere. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the rear section when I had it out.

Well that is awesome. A buddy of mine has had them on his procharged S197 mustang and it's quite possibly the greatest thing ever. Everyone should have cutouts.

I've started collecting parts to convert the rear of my car to 5 lug. Z4 hubs, calipers, and rotors with a mounting bracket from SRS. I intend to keep my e38 style 5's and put a 245/50 DR back there. Anyway, listen to the sound of this S369 and Tial 50mm...interior (exhaust) is so quiet all you hear is whining from the drivetrain.

I'm converting the rear to 5 lug using z4 hubs, this adds minimal width (like 2mm per side) unlike the z3 and ti swap. This will allow me to remove the 20mm spacer/adapters needed to run the e38 style 5's and add a much larger tire. Going from a 205/45-16 to a 245/45-16. Anyway, I need more traction...so it starts. An added bonus is the e46 325i brakes a quite a bit larger. I do have to say, the B90 paid for itself again...worth the investment 10 or so years later.
Edit* forgot to add, the e46 rotors are also vented...check it out.

What rear caliper adapters did you use? Looks like it all fit together perfectly!
These are rebuilt e46 325i calipers. They fit with adapting brackets from SRS concepts. Completely bolt on, even the brake line. I will post some pictures/measurements of the factory e30 and e46 caliper side by side. The piston is much larger on the e46 unit.
