engine and drivetrain Need Mechanic

[PetrolJunky]

Hello,

 

I have a 1975 2002, it has a 1989 M20 installed with the attached 5 speed.

 

It has a t4/t5 turbo partially installed and all of the parts to complete, I was told.

 

Here is the original description from the seller:

 

Engine is out of a 1989 325i with 100k miles on it. New Bosch 42lb hr (Green Giant) fuel injectors installed. . T3/T4 turbo max power 350hp-400hp, polished stainless steel turbo manifold with 38mm waste gate w/ 7psi, 11psi & 15psi springs, blow off valve, boost controller, 28"x8"x2.5" intercooler, polished aluminum intercooler pipe w/ silicon couplers. Aluminum radiator. Corbeau bucket seats. New clutch slave cyl. & throwout bearing.

 

I am in Phoenix and would like to have a shop or garage builder help me to complete it.

 

The project will be documented and the story will be posted in a magazine and the magazines website.

 

Thank you,

Matt

I think this car's been floating around the interwebs for a bit. It was on here not long ago if it's what I think it is... You'll have fun with it! Good luck and keep us posted

Hello,

Yeah, it's that one. Picked it up for $900.

Removed the fenders and am sitting in my driveway sorting the parts. Seems pretty complete except some minor parts.

Hoping to get a mechanic to get it up and running so I can enjoy it while I complete if.

Shit, if I knew it was up for 900 I would of gone and gotten it! Oh well

[PetrolJunky]

Ha! That is how I felt.

You got a lot of work ahead of ya! Start reading up on some of the MS stuff and all that. I plan to do a MS conversion on my 02 in a couple years...

[PetrolJunky]

I am not familiar with the term "MS", what is that?

MegaSquirt?

Yes.

[PetrolJunky]

I have the regular computer too, I hope to get it running with the stock system then figure out the MS.

[roadhog0]

I wouldnt try to boost it with the stock computer. I dont think it works out well. But then again I deal with mostly carbs so I could easily be wrong...
