Cleaning up the garage getting ready for the move taking some pics...
.
 

Today was E34 535i part out day (the M30B35 is one big a$$ engine)

My friend Danny came over to give me a hand thank god I have him hes always there for me...

My newly acquired 2 door 325 E ....

I know how to find them in good shape this one even if the outside looks like it needs love...the inside and the fact that it never been in a accident makes for a great shell for my second E30.




Also got my electric power steering in the mail :) another project in the back burner..... my move of province is taking up all my time.

With the power brake install I took the opportunity to also make some changes to the Supercharger induction...nice ram air install :) filter in the grill.

3" spectre flex piping fits perfect.

now I just need to change my alternator in my E30 it died and I need to replace it so I can make the 5 hour trip to Quebec city....

stay tuned..

finished power brakes and my ram air setup.

found a local shop to do my custom hydraulic hoses. Diotte hydraulics Ottawa contact Marc or Sylvain for those interested. Pump will be here this week I should have lots of pics of the whole process for anybody that would want to replicate it. http://www.diotteshydraulics.on.ca/ and my OEM M50 crank pulley should be at Performance shop in the U.S tomorrow so Mark- machinist will build me a one of a kind 7" diameter and 6 Rib pulley to up my SC boost levels to 8-10 PSI in my M20 SC setup.

While waiting for parts decided to build a E30 with mint sport seats for the kids....lol... Actually its my roll skid to bring my motors in the move come july... and seat is for sale btw

With Problem number 1 resolved: Power brakes installed.

Sooooo in order to safety my car in QC and keep my Supercharger system at the same time I had to find a solution for my problem number 2) Power Steering.

Well they want Power steering....well they will have it :) Great seller on ebay called pontiac442 made me a good deal on this used pump from europe, its in the mail, oh and its Electric all in one makes for a clean clean underhood.

Meanwhile I will get ready for this project I cant wait to get started... this is an amazing option for E30 owners. Stay tuned...

Almost done with Power brakes. It is quite the job as I had to remove the MC, redo the brake lines and redo the SC intake (still waiting on 3" flex to install)

Also had to weld brake pedal tab to connect brake
booster.

So I just have to finish the piping for the SC, adjust brake pedal.

I will probably mount the air filter in one of the kidneys and plumb it using the 3" flex I got in the mail. Should be better anyways for removing the air filter from the hot under hood temps.

When all this is done I move to the electric Power steering.

Well after having some serious fun driving it for a few weeks I decided I was ready to go do a Quebec safety, boy was I wrong. My car was labeled a Race car so it could not be safety.

After letting my Girlfriend drive my finally tuned and bug free Supercharged E30 she comes back very impressed by the performance (and am only boosting 4.5PSI) but now 2 major problems I need to action. The new tires don't work very well with Manual steering and the extra 50HP doesn't work well with manual brakes. :( hence now I understand why my car did not safety.

So 2 new projects on the table:

1) Install power brakes: This is major work as I now have to redo all the Supercharger extremely tight intake setup, air filter assembly, remove MC and reinstall, rework brake pedal so I got lots of work ahead here. (got 3" flexible piping coming to help me do this)

2) Power steering: This one here is Major as well as I don't have room for another pulley so option is called Electric hydraulic power steering (2 pump options 1 from a 91 MR2 and the other a all in one reservoir/pump from a europeen truck. Both will be custom setups and will require custom hydraulic lines made and wiring.

and last but not least the best part, I located a performance shop that will be able to custom built me a 7"diameter  - 6 Rib crank pulley (copying the M50 crank I already have) so I can raise the boost to 8-9PSI :)

With all these done I will try my luck again at safety and this will also mark the end of the Supercharger setup so I will move to the Turbo side this winter.
