2.7 tripple webber, lots of images

Post by Jason_323i »

Hi

I just thought i would post detials of my car

Description

This is a much modified 1982 e21 323i it was originally black and is now very black. I bought after three attempts, I have planned to build an e21 to this level but it turned out quicker and cheaper to buy this as a base vehicle to work from.

Modifications and tuning
Engine
M20 2.7 conversion with a lightened and balanced bottom end, gas flowed head and bigger valves. Currently working on s52 throttle body and efi set up.

Fuelling
Triple Webber 45's set up with dual fuel pumps and filter king adjustable fuel regulator. dynoed at 256BHP (by previous owner I have yet to confirm this). Pushed to 130mph on the speedo

Exhaust
Custom 6 stainless steel 6 branch manifold running to a pair of stainless back boxes. So noisy i have to were ear plugs if i am driving for more than an hour.

Gearbox
Standard e21 dogleg box with uprated clutch and lightened flywheel.

Rear diif
E12 M535i LSD mounted onto a modified e21 rear beam

Brakes
Cross drilled and grooved brakes all round, Volvo 240 callipers at the front e30 at the rear stainless lines throughout.

Suspension
LEDA 24 way adjustable coilovers front and rear, polybushes throughout. ST upgraded sway bars, front & rear strut braces battery in the boot.

Interior
Recaro interior retimed in black leather and black suede, Alpina gear knob, after market steering wheel black headlining, quick shift kit

Exterior
2 pack BMW Black, blacked out chrome, smoked lenses front and rear arch lips rolled 16" alpinas

Driver
Awaiting upgrades BMW better driving day and MSA race license currently working on my heel and toe technique


History
There is a lot of history with this car for small things but not a lot for the big things, parts of the engine and drive train came from a French rally car, the interior was done when it was still a standard e21. What is for sure is that a lot of money has been spent but sometime it seems it took the previous owners 2-3 times to get it right.

Absoluyely WICKED!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

256HP!!! Not too shabby mate... :wink: Jason, there are just so many goodies on your E21, that I'm not quite sure what I love about it the most!! But as for the looks, 1st place has got to go to that amazing amount of negative camber you've got on the rears!!!! WAUW!!!!!! :twisted:

Wish you had some better pics of the interior though....
And hope to hear it irl one day!!! :D

Looks excellent! Put on chrome bumpers and trim, and it's perfect (to me anyway) ;)

What head are you using?
