Up for sale is my 1989 BMW E30. The car was originally a 325i however I swapped in a 3.0 2jz non vvti motor. This swap is COMPLETE. Car does run and drive and will be adding a walk around video tomorrow. This swap was done by a local shop in NYC tri state area. This is not a hack job but a very thorough and reliable build. Car starts up one shot every time, no smoking or oil leaks. Motor is very strong.

How much power does it put down

 

Last dyno was around 430whp. Will be going back on the dyno this week. Should be around 550whp.Will post dyno sheets when that is done.

 

Why such a large turbo for such low power numbers? A 6766 is a 900+whp turbo for a car like that. When does it spool up?

 

Seems like a decent deal

 

Was wondering that too

 

500+ wheel wasnt my end goal but sometimes life doesn't allow you to make 900whp lol. At the end of the day you need supporting mods to do 900whp such as a better fuel system, clutch and possible internals and head work. My goal was 700-750whp but my finances changed a bit. 500whp was the most I was willing to go for now because of the injectors.

 

Tomorrow......

 

The 6766 is a very versatile turbo. My 10:1 2JZ made 914 through one maxxed out on E85, but also runs around in the low 600s on pump 93 and never feels especially lazy.

I get full boost (34psi) in the 4500rpm range.

I've had 35Rs before that naturally spool up faster, but I much prefer the slightly delayed (in comparison) 6766 as it helps to not haze the tires as boost comes in violently bu no at such a low RPM.

 

I'll agree as said above. The 6766 is a great street turbo. I run a 6266 and its a tire fryer!

 

Always did love the E30 chassis. You've made a real sleeper out of it with the 2J. GLWS

 

you end up selling it?

 

Post is Circa 2016, nice sleeper though
