It was for sure a great feeling! I have been nervous for the last couple months, you don't ever know if you are doing everything right until the car starts😂 thanks for the support!🙂
Thank you so much!! I think as long as you plan the journey should be simple!! I'll have a couple videos coming out about what products I recommend for the swap!!🙂
Thank you for the support man!! Little by little it's getting better! But hell yeah man! The k swap seems very at home in the e30! I'm going to try to get a review of everything when it's running well!
Ayyy!! That's awesome welcome to the channel! I've always wanted to build an e30 then found the k swap and it felt right! I want to turbo it in the future! Thank you for the kind words🙂
@@ProjectRacecar2 first car was an E30 and sold it to work on other projects 15 years ago. Sold it for $600. Biggest automotive regret of my life! Haha.
That's insane😂 I think everyone has done that at one point in their life, I sold my last e30 5 years ago for $2300 and I was very happy with that! I will probably own another one sometime in my life! Hopefully you can get another one too!
Bro I was soooo hyped!! Thanks man! That's alright it takes time, I probably wouldn't have gotten it started this quickly if it weren't for keeping up on RUclips videos, keep me updated on your project!
@@ProjectRacecar2 I just recorded a voice over style video for my tube bender. Im stuck waiting for body panels before I can really do anything 😅. Im glad to see you started your car though. Makes me feel motivated to do something. Maybe I’ll organize my garage while I wait.
@@AndronPrime that's totally fair, I'll make sure to check out your video! But yeah I always try to stay busy even if it is just cleaning it's still progress!
Oh damn that's awesome! That was for sure a long time ago!! Thanks for sticking around so long! The e30 has come a long way, I still have a ton of plans we have to get through🤟🏻
Thanks dude! I appreciate all of the support getting here! I'm super happy that it's running! I have been waiting for it too! I'm glad I was able to finally deliver the first start!🤟🏻🙂
Hey thanks! The engine harness does have an oil pressure sensor but it's a 3 prong sensor, I have been tracking down another issue so I haven't had the time to get the oil pressure sensor ordered
@offbalancewrld that's awesome! K power industries has a good write up, I tried to document as much as possible as well! But if you have any questions feel free to ask!🙂
Thanks man! Yeah the swap makes a ton of sense in an e30! But I used to be in Colorado, north Denver! I'm currently living in Austin Texas but I'll likely move back to CO
Hey man, I'm running the k power industries rwd e30 exhaust manifold, fit perfect to the chassis, the headers got me to the end of the transmission and from the header I made my own custom 3in stainless steel exhaust, I have videos on the channel of the exhaust and headers, this was my first exhaust I had ever done
@@Gr33kChief thanks man! That means a ton! I tried to post as many videos as I could explaining different things! That's awesome good luck on the build!
Dude just call a tuner and get a basemap. do a datalog and done. spend the money before you break this. Hondata all the way all oem please dont ruin this
This was obviously the first start, link had a basemap setup to get it started, I've been in contact with a tuner since then, just getting things figured out
The E30 looks so good! I am so pumped for you its been a ton of work! Well done, can't wait to see it ripping!
Thanks man! I know the e30 has come a long way!! Thank you for the support!!
Congratulations man!! Well done!!
Thanks dude!!
😀 we in business , it low key sounds like a rotary with that idling 🤣
Lmaooo it was for sure because of a serious vacuum leak😂😂 we will get it nice and smooth
As if your 1st bb came to this world kinda of happy face!
Lmaooo it's been about a year in the making so it felt quite crazy to actually start it!
Been here for a while now! Super sick you got this thing running! It's been a long time coming!
That's awesome man! Thank you for sticking around! Yeah it's been a while for sure!!
Sweet. This is going to be sooooo good. Blessings and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!! I know the e30 has come a long way! It should be a unit especially when I turbo it in the future! Thank you for the support🙂
@@ProjectRacecar2 oh indeed it will be a rocket with the turbo. I look forward to it. Cheers brother 🙌🏽
Hell yeah, awesome man! Can't wait to see it driving. Has to be an awesome feeling.
It was for sure a great feeling! I have been nervous for the last couple months, you don't ever know if you are doing everything right until the car starts😂 thanks for the support!🙂
YAAAAAAY! Now, I'm even more geeked. So happy for you!!!
Thank you for the support across the build!! I'm really excited for it to be done, we will get the kinks figured out!🙂
You’ve peaked my interest now, going back to watch the other vids
There are tons of other rwd k series builds! I just ordered a precision turbo for the car!
Oh I was actually hoping you would keep it NA and go for ITBs
Yeahhh congratz! I can't wait to hear it rev on the road. Good job 🎉
Thanks man! I know that's the next big step is getting it to idle correctly then driving it!!🤟🏻 Thank you for the support!
happy for you bro and proud of you. I want to embark on this same journey myself soon.
Thank you so much!! I think as long as you plan the journey should be simple!! I'll have a couple videos coming out about what products I recommend for the swap!!🙂
OMG! Congrats man! I look forward to the videos! Keep it up man, this thing is awesome, and you’ve inspired me to do the same type of project.
Thank you for the support man!! Little by little it's getting better! But hell yeah man! The k swap seems very at home in the e30! I'm going to try to get a review of everything when it's running well!
I just stumbled across your channel and thank God I did because this is my absolute dream build. Good job man!

Thanks man! I know it's been a while to get to this moment! I'm super glad it actually runs! It's always a bit nerve racking😂
LETS GOOO! Good stuff! My car wont be starting for a very long time!

Thanks man!! The support from you and the channel kept me going!! I'm so happy it started! We should be able to rip it soon!
Bro I've been subscribed to you since your z3 rack swap video. Major milestone my man!! Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
Oh damn that's awesome! That was for sure a long time ago!! Thanks for sticking around so long! The e30 has come a long way, I still have a ton of plans we have to get through🤟🏻
Hell yeah dude!! Congrats! Still a bit work out but well done!
Thanks man!! Yeah it still needs some work but It will sound happier in the next video!!
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks man!! I know you have been following for a long time!! Thanks for sticking around!
Nice bro.. So happy for you.. You should be proud of yourself.. Was waiting for the first start so long ❤
Thanks dude! I appreciate all of the support getting here! I'm super happy that it's running! I have been waiting for it too! I'm glad I was able to finally deliver the first start!🤟🏻🙂
Looks great man! I couldn’t help but notice the oil pressure sensor is unplugged? Is that not an option included in the harness?
Hey thanks! The engine harness does have an oil pressure sensor but it's a 3 prong sensor, I have been tracking down another issue so I haven't had the time to get the oil pressure sensor ordered
@@ProjectRacecar2 ah okay, I recently ordered the swap kit myself so I’ve been doing all research possible lol.
@offbalancewrld that's awesome! K power industries has a good write up, I tried to document as much as possible as well! But if you have any questions feel free to ask!🙂
@@ProjectRacecar2 much appreciated thank you!
Love the build this same exact thing i want to do to mine K24 it, where in CO are you ?
Thanks man! Yeah the swap makes a ton of sense in an e30! But I used to be in Colorado, north Denver! I'm currently living in Austin Texas but I'll likely move back to CO
@@ProjectRacecar2 I just moved to FL like 3months ago from CO Springs and just like you I believe i'll move back I miss CO for sure
Yeah I didn't like the snow until I moved to constant 105 degree weather😂 my fiance went to uccs in the springs so I was down there a ton!
What exhaust/header are you running? Did everything bolt up or did it require fab work?
Hey man, I'm running the k power industries rwd e30 exhaust manifold, fit perfect to the chassis, the headers got me to the end of the transmission and from the header I made my own custom 3in stainless steel exhaust, I have videos on the channel of the exhaust and headers, this was my first exhaust I had ever done
My dream right here
The e30 has been my dream car for a long time, finally made the engine swap happen!
@@ProjectRacecar2 im buying a shell in few weeks!!! Cant wait!! You got me hyped up with your videos!!! hell yeah brother!!
@@Gr33kChief thanks man! That means a ton! I tried to post as many videos as I could explaining different things! That's awesome good luck on the build!
where you located bro? how hard would you say this swap was?
Hey man! I'm currently in Austin Texas, but overall it's a pretty straightforward swap, this is my first big swap and it went really well
@@ProjectRacecar2 hell yeah I’m looking to one soon!
Is it still rwd?
Yeah the engine is converted to rwd and bolted to an e36 manual transmission! That bolts right up with a stock driveshaft!
Dude just call a tuner and get a basemap. do a datalog and done. spend the money before you break this. Hondata all the way all oem please dont ruin this
This was obviously the first start, link had a basemap setup to get it started, I've been in contact with a tuner since then, just getting things figured out
@@ProjectRacecar2 Ya absolutely. I can help
