    Did this car actually sell for $30k+ its no doubt cool, but not $30k cool..... seems more like $10k cool. what am I missing here?

    I'm super late to the party and I get that the convo has moved on to suspension geometry. But, has the dodge Omni rack been considered? its a rear stear rack and is very affordable. Ive been considering using when I attempt R&P? Not intending to Hijack the thread lol.

    Im running the ADVan Fleva V701 on the back of my car to match the Sdrives on the front. I love them. Pattern is very similar and and they grip really good for a street tire.

    If I were to build a fun non BMW vintage car it would be: a early to mid 70s Datsun Z , a datsun 510, a 70s Toyota Celica, maybe an early RX7..... you have a lot of options!

    Turbo it! turbo M10s are a hoot! There is a lot of info on converting to EFI. Some of the more affordable routes use a 320 or 318 intake manifold. There are two cheap EBay turbo headers that sorta work. or you can pay more and have one built by a company like rapid spool industries . Last I checked it was like 700$. There are plenty of guys that turbo these motors on a stock bottom end and pistons just using arp studs and good head gasket. Since you have a TII your compression is likely a bit high....you could run a thicker MLS head gasket to lower compression or rebuild motor with lower compression (preferably forged) pistons. if you are on Instagram Look up skogenracing. These guys have some crazy high HP m10s on stock internals.

    Manual rack and pinion would be pretty cool. I like how the 2002 steering feels but my box is starting to wear out and has some slop at the ends finding good used boxes isn't always going to be an option. A rack and pinion kit would be a safe and reliable upgrade for our cars

    this is what I have read....I may be wrong but the K series and the F series both spin the same direction CCW from looking at back of motor. The B series spun the other direction so, guys that put a K series in an older honda have to figure that out. there are a few different trans that ppl are hooking up to the Kseries... the BMW trans is a popular option because it can hold decent power https://kpower.industries/products/k-series-to-bmw-e36-e46-transmission-adapter-plate-and-flywheel

    how about a K24 or K20 Swap? a few ppl have documented mounting rwd transmissions to them. I think if I were to have a clean slate on my car, I would go with a K series they are still pretty cheap and guys make silly power with them

    thanks for all the replies, you have given me a lot to consider. If I can find a reasonably priced 228mm flywheel I will go that route instead of drilling mine. Im not looking forward to the added mass of the 228mm e30 clutch system but that seems to be the most cost effective way to reliably hold the torque of my set up
  10. 2joejoe2
    Ive seen both 13.5mm and 14.5mm for min thickness....I will have to do some more digging... Hopefully I have room to play with it.

    Good points, but it wont cost me a dime to machine it as I will be doing it myself. The most I will be machining off the face is 0.02" so I can put a new step in it at the 228mm diameter. I will make sure the height of flywheel pp and throw-out bearing are the same when I put it back together
  12. 2joejoe2
    just the info I was looking for, thanks Toby!

    Hi, Winter is coming here in WI so I'm starting to prep for my projects. One of them is to upgrade the clutch on my car to handle the power of my turbo set up. My plan is to drill the current 215mm flywheel to accept an e30 228mm pressure plate. My question is, the 215 mm flywheel has a step, I plan to have that machined off and a new step put in for the 228mm set up. but I don't know how much step to put in for the 228mm plate or if it is even needed. I know a few ppl on this forum have done this, any guidance would be appreciated! Before ppl tell me to just by a 228mm flywheel Im cheap and I work in an engineering lab where I have access to a lot a machining equipment knowledgeable machinist

    Im on IG but not active....Ill DM you some pics of the build
  15. 2joejoe2
    Awesome car man! been watching your build and have really enjoyed it.... don't listen to the haters....they just wish their 02 was quick lol jk...I just finished turbo-ing my 02. It was the best thing I ever did to my car, it's so much fun to drive. Keep up the good work and turn up the boost!... im running 12 PSI on a blow through mikuni with no motor issues. motor only has studs and an MLS gasket
  16. 2joejoe2
    nothing?....looks like some guys run a M20 clutch with a 228mm flywheel....anyone here go that route? looking for something to hold up to the power without breaking the bank...... Clutch masters builds 215mm clutch that can supposedly handle 499ft-lb anyone try something like that?
  17. 2joejoe2
    Hey Guys, over the past winter I turbo'd my 2002. the car is an absolute hoot to drive but now I am getting some clutch slippage when I get on it hard at around 12psi of boost. I know that a 228mm clutch set up can handle more power than the 215mm setup but, I am hesitant to switch since my flywheel was balanced with the crank when the motor was built a while back. I did some research and California Clutch sells a 215mm clutch set up that supposedly can handle 499ft/lb of torque and price isn't terrible . Does anyone have any experience with this company?.......they may have formerly been clutchnet? https://californiaclutch.com/product/bmw-stage-5-clutch-kit-package?v=f24485ae434a

    For the rear, Im running 250lb springs on Koni 30 series coilover shocks. its a nice ride, stiff but not crazy stiff. my fronts are 325lb 8" springs. its a little stiff but handles so good. would probably be a little softer with a M20.

    Im gonna do some more brain storming in the garage this weekend. Running an electric pump would probably work but I think for the same amount of effort I could probably come up with a solution to mount the stock T-stat elsewhere
  20. 2joejoe2
    Makes sense, I have seen this on a few M10 race motors but,i guess those set ups are designed for WFO . Im gonna have to come up with some clever plumbing. Ill look into the M30 style tstat. Would a blocking style thermostat work on an M10 or would there be issues with hot spots?
  21. 2joejoe2
    Hey, d does anyone run their car with out a Thermostat? I have run into an issue with my turbo set up were the Turbo manifold (Boost Bros style ebay garbage) is in the way of the T-stat. I have tried to come of with ways to relocate the t-stat but it will not be pretty. Im thinking about welding up the water divider and just running the car open with out the T-stat. Has anyone done this? I have a feeling I am going to be crucified for asking lol.
  22. 2joejoe2
    Hey, Since I am turboing my car, I decided to get a thinker MLS head gasket. My old gasket was .050" and my new gasket is .100" is will lower my compression by about a point. After putting the head back on I reinstalled the cam sprocket and chain (which has about 10k on it). The chain is very tight even with out the tensioner. What are my options? Should I find a prestretched chain? lol...but seriously. I could also maybe modify the tensioner slide to get me a little more room.
  23. 2joejoe2
    People are haters! the average person would turn a car like this into a nice clean driver. that could easily be done for under 10k (including price of car) if you are willing to put in some elbow grease. A moron would dump an additional 15k into to a transplant square tail car.....the point is the above argument is not at all realistic and ads no value. Ciao

    Good point Tzei, I also have a spare engine with 8.xx:1 CR maybe I'll tear that engine down and prep it for boost. Im doing a blow through mikuni PHH set up. So, I need to build my motor with a larger margin for error. even though its low ish boost.
  25. 2joejoe2
    Hey, So im in the process of turbo-ing my car. years ago when I rebuilt my motor I put in IE 9.5:1 cast pistons. My plan was to run an 0.098" mls head gasket which should put my CR to around 8.6:1. I figured this CR should be ok for the low boost (8-10psi) I plan to run. my worry is if the IE pistons cast pistons can handle boost? has any one done this before?
