(Massive thanks to Incary for putting this together!!) This is a 1UZFE powered BMW E30, i took it out to Ruapuna raceway to do some skids I hope you enjoy!! The video pretty much explains it all
This is a 1986 325i e30 powered by a late model high compression 1uzfe Lexus v8, was dynoed at 280 rear wheel horsepower but i suspect its more like 250-260 RWHP. The engine has hand made extractors, link computer, custom airbox and intake, 5 puck ceramic clutch, shortshifted upgraded and cut w55 5speed box, race radiator other upgrades i can think of are upgraded LSD, Keskin and ACS wheels, ACS Front and side kit, Modified MTECH rear and wing, new paint, ACS strut brace, whiteline sways, GC Camber/castor tops, koni shocks, custom springs, full nothane bushes,EBC Yellow pads, Zionelli S12 rotors, Goodridge Braided lines, leather bucket seats, sounds etc and heaps more
i wana make my e30 1uz :( owell its good just to have a e30 coupe :))) was it very hard? is the 1uz as simple as other toyota engines and do you have a build thread?

if you had another e30 project would you go 1UZFE again?
my car got rear ended so instead of working on it im thinking about crazy stuff ill never do lol
also apart from motor n gearbox mounts + tailshaft was there much other fabrication required?

@Gruelius I would totally go with the 1UZFE again, its an amazing motor and much stronger than the m62 from BMW (and im a BMW nut!)
Not a lot of major stuff, just LOTS and LOTS of little bits and pieces you have to sort out.

F*cking Nuts!!!! dang that sounds mean!!! i was expecting more like 400 hp from the sound and how much balls your car seems to have, but 260 whp goes a LONG way in an E30
