I dont expect visitors or comments but if someone will visit my "blog" then have a nice time spending.
I started to build this car maybe six years ago. Why? Because I love this shape of BMW. This car has been my second car after a Lada 1200. :) Plenty of memory of mine belong to this car and I just wanted to do something with it. Something that makes me happy and keeps my memory and my youthness in a car in a garage. I will never forget that feeling what this car has given to me every time when I put my ass into it. Its legendary BMW E21 dashboard around me when I sit in. I wanted to keep this shape and interior but I also wanted to change everything that I dont like.
So... At that time I decided not to sell it. I kept it. (for a while :) The original body was black and fuckin` rusty. I was necessary to find a younger body instead. Well I have found a younger blue one. Unfortunately the original black one had to go to the scrap yard.
I planned to build an E21 Turbo with an M20 engine. A lot of people install an M30 in their E30 because there are bigger engines (more raw power) available. In my opinion they`re just simple too heavy and M20 also contains unused power. That was proved by many people on the web.
Eg. Keld Jakobsen`s BMW E21 M20B27 in 2006
"Bilen får en helt ny M20 motor med en blygsam spec: M20B25 block, deckat, o-ringat, stressborrat till 84.50mm, fabriksny smidd dieselvev som är balanserad till perfektion, oljekylning under smidda CP pistons, 135mm AutoVerdi vevstakar, PPF stödgördelkit med ARP ramlagerpinnbult, ARP pinnbultar till toppen, PPF 75mm dump, PPF grenrör med 60mm PPF wastegate och en PT76GTS turbo, 895cc spridare, Autronic SM4 styrsystem, MSD DIS4 CDI tändning med MSD spolar mm."
600 HP at 1,5 bar
677 HP at 1,8 bar
820 HP in 2007 by an M20 turbo.
I still believe in M20 power however M50, M52 and other 4 valves engines are potentially improving combustion efficiency and hence power. In my country (Hungray) isnt that simple. We are not allowed to install "foreign engines" in our cars by law. Thats also a big joke and would deserve another blog but not now. Thats why I vote on M20 Turbo.
The base has been an M20B25 engine with 885 big valve cylinder head. What do I want? A strong and stable M20 engine over 300 HP and just for fun. No drifting no drag racing. If I start to do something or decide to do something I wont stop. It must be done! Even if I have to make sacrifices but it must be done without "risk".
If you have ever started or even your were in car building you should know it takes fuckin` a lot money. Well.. when I started I made clear something in myself. It might not cause any problems in my personal life or in my relationship and it may not cause financial problem for me. Ok... too much talk.
On this first picture my new BMW E21 body with a slice of lorry intercooler which wont be installed. Why? Because I sold it already. :) It was impossible to squeeze behind of this shark front. It needs a custom cooler:
Isnt big but small space doesnt let make bigger one. :( Hopefully this cooler will be done in next summer as I want to finish this building finally in next year. I have more important tasks to finish first.
To be continued...
