.63 or .82 gt3071 with e85 and plenty of boost should come about as close as your gonna get to your goal.

or if your happy to go crazy with boost (and not worried about turbo life and heat etc) you could try a large rear housed gtx28 of some sort

I did actually have teh GTX28's in mind for the 1J, cant help but think the turbine side will be too small for the 3L

But I am now looking at those options, Cheers

Fuel economy and E85 dont mix :)

I did 180kms on the weekend and used 40L lol

Ive done 280ks to 40oddL of 98 and the car is standard lol

I have no updates. But 3.0L related

Has anyone seen either a td06-20g or any other smallish turbo on a twincam 30? I have seen a few gt3076's done

Or if you had a choice the best super responsive circa 300rwkw turbo

I'm thinking I want 20+ psi at 3000 rpm and mega midrange

I'm planning on slapping together a 25/30 for round 2 on the 14th of July and i'll be running a TD06-20g High mount.....

I shall inform you of how it goes!

You can use this one:

But ideally you want one a tiny bit shorter as once you deck the head and block and the belt stretches a bit it gets real close....

Much better off relocating the drivers side tensioner, just wait until you have a belt so you can figure out exactly where to put it as the dimensions in the PDF don't always work.

I used the measurements in the PDF with the above belt and it didnt work, couldn't get the belt on but it was close. Probably just needs to be moved to the right 5-10mm. No set measurements are garunteed to be perfect as theres too many variables.

here is what i do at work;

i grind the head & block

i put the cams in

i put the crank in

i put a thick rag on the deck

i put the head on

i put on all the timing gear

i put bearing blue on bottom of stud,

i then line up tensioner to where its best suited

i then drill and tap the M10x 1.5 thread

Started getting things together to get my dirty thirty project started. Funds are an issue for me so may take longer than u guys lol. But I don't wanna take short cuts so a bit longer without will be worth the wait. Picked up a complete rb30 out of an r31 couple weeks ago for a hundred bucks and a case. Planning on getting an engine stand soon and stripping it down. Then finding a r33 25 head as I want it built out of car to be slotted into daily when complete. So much info! Been reading for the past 2 weeks and printing shit off. Gerg, looking at bringing block, head and other bits and pieces down down to you if ur in Moorebank cause its around the corner from me. A while off though lol.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
