My HMT e30 now with a burnout video
Well, I have two year old thread on my B16 build. I ended up blowing that engine in early May. So I built a stock ls/vtec with ARP hardware and raped on that till June and sold it. I just got done fabbing up my e30 kit and got it running on MegaSquirt 2.
I haven't gotten to drive it much and I hope to have some burnout vids as soon as possible because that's all I really want this car to do. It won't be as fast as my old Civic but it's RWD for one and with 2.93 rear end gears it will be fun.
For now this is what I've done..
Holset HX40 turbo.
Ebay manifold, I added a T4 flange and external wastegate elbow.
Synapse 40mm wastegate
Turbosmart BOV, some special edition bullshit for Evos. It was 100$ unused so I love it.
Home made intercooler piping.
Ebay backdoor intercooler. It works great because my intercooler pipes are just two 90* bends.
Oil filter relocation. ****** costed like 200$ because i needed swivel 90* 3/8 to 10an fittings.
Home made crank position wheel set up and bracket.
Home made wiring harness for MS2.
MegaSquirt v2 using a 3.0 board.
Stock fuel pump and injectors for now... just waiting on the new stuff.
Innovate LC-1 wideband. I swear by these things. I use them in all of my builds.
That's as much as I can think of right now. I'm sure there's a few odds and ends I'm forgetting.. But yeah as soon as I can finish tuning the thing I'm going to burn several sets of tires off and make sure to get some ripper vids.
If anyone has any questions on MegaSquirt feel free to ask!
And the old hatch.

Re: My HMT e30
The spool up isn't bad at all. About 2700 RPM and it's ready to haul ***. The turbo itself sounds ------- mean. It's all you hear, even over the open downpipe.
I'll get pics of the car and some videos this weekend. Through out this whole process I didn't take a single picture and I'm pissed I didn't.
Over the winter I'm doing Bosch 42lb injectors, a fuel pump, a 288/286 cam, mls headgasket and ARP studs.
The motor has 170k on it with nearly no blowby. I'm going to see how much horsepower I can get out of it before the 20 year old motor decides it's had enough.

Re: My HMT e30
Haha it's what I do with all my builds. My stock b16 cracked ringlands at 17 psi on pump gas.. really quickly..
My built b16 held 20 psi strong until a spiral lock came out of the piston and the wristpin scored the cylinder wall, i got massive blow by, pushed all my oil out into my catch can and engine bay and i spun a rod bearing.
the ls/vtec is still running on 14psi. the kid drives it daily.
as for the e30.. I think i can get about 450 out of it for a little while.

Re: My HMT e30
Yeah that's why I chose the e30. Inline 6, RWD, LSD rear end, loves boost..
As far as wiring gremlins I made my own wiring harness for the MegaSquirt. It was actually super ------- easy. I'll take a picture tomorrow of how I'm running it all. Of course you can see the wiring harness in the engine bay, and then I've got everything hooked up to fusible power blocks..
It's been smoking a bit.. I think it's valve seals. I tapped my -4an feed line and put a set screw in there with a 1/16 hole drilled through it for an oil restrictor and I'm using I think -12an hose for a return.
