How I Spent $22,805 On My K24 Swapped BMW E30
Рет қаралды 11,329
Жыл бұрынToday I break down the full cost of my bmw e30 build, that includes the cost of the suspension, steering, wheels, and the entire cost of the k24 swap into my bmw E30!
You can buy t shirts here : ryansprojectra...
Thank you for all of the support on the channel!
I believe you can save a lot on this build especially if you are buying used parts or waiting for sales! As an example, Link Ecu does a once a year sale where you can get discounts with hundreds of dollars off!
Make sure to verify all fitment before ordering any of these items, my car is a 1991 e30 318is which has a lot of different fitment than the 2.5L in the 325i BMWs!
Here are all the links to the products I used, let me know if you have any questions, thank you for all of your support across the build!

Yeah I had a ton of people ask me about it, I think this k swap is a good in-between build where it isn't ultra cheap but not crazy expensive, for a 2j swap it's like $6k for just the engine

Awesome info to have! I saw the title and thought you had 22k into the swap and was like oh god what I am I getting myself into lmao. That's better knowing you were 10-11k deep. I've got a spreadsheet put together and was hoping to be under $15k when all was said and done. I'll have to go through the video again and add some pieces to the spreadsheet thanks to this vid. Also, do you have a video on the electric power steering setup yet and are you running a/c? Thanks!
@ProjectRacecar2 Жыл бұрын
I'm glad the video will be helpful! I tried to make sure I got everything! You can easily be under that $10k too, there are sometimes people parting out their build or deals on products! I haven't gotten the power steering fully hooked up yet, I was really focused on the swap that I haven't fully dove into the power steering, and I'm not running a/c but I know that k power does have an a/c kit, I don't know if it clears the tf works oil pan though if that's what you have
@jooooohn401 Жыл бұрын
@@ProjectRacecar2 yeah I need to check out the for sale sections more often! I've had some home projects eating up my spare time and swap budget, so I am hoping to start piecing things together in fall. I've been looking at going with kpower for most of the big pieces. Their oil pan will clear the stock ac location, would just need to go with electric p/s to relocate it and run both. And for sure, makes sense to get it running first before worrying about other pieces like that, just making sure I didnt miss it haha. Cant wait to see it running!
@ProjectRacecar2 Жыл бұрын
Yeah that's for sure worth it! And yeah I wouldn't rush the build at all! The main reason why I went with tf works oil pan is because of the oil drain bung already welded in! I need to make a video on getting it Dyno ready and then actually on the Dyno! So we are making some moves to get it driving! Let me know if you have any other questions🤟🏻

Love modifying cars, but don't think I'll ever go crazy again. This build is SO NICE, however, the value of the car against a stock e30 hasn't increased that much - if at all. Not a problem if you never intend on selling it, things are worth as much as someone thinks it's worth and you obviously thought it was worth that because you put the money into it, but if you ever wanted to make moves to get into something else you'll get hosed unless you find a dude as crazy as you were and is also willing to spend all that money doing the swap himself and see's your build more as cost savings than objective value.
@ProjectRacecar2 4 ай бұрын
I totally understand where you are coming from in terms of if I will ever see this money again, I don't ever plan to sell this car and I've known that from the start, but the reason why I'm building this car is for the experience and for the hobby of it! I'm also able to make money from the KZfaq channel and get some of that back. I treat this as my hobby and job so it makes sense for me🙂

How much hp does it deliver now, and how much will it deliver with turbo?
@ProjectRacecar2 Жыл бұрын
NA it should be 215 HP and with a turbo 58/58 turbo on 12 psi it should be 400-450HP it redlines at 8600 rpm but the most important thing is it's lightweight and sits far back in the engine bay

I know it feels a bit backwards, I'm working with a tuner now, I need to get a few things settled before the Dyno tuning which is all it needs to get driving, and since the tuning prices vary so much I decided to not include it, if you do it yourself it's free however some people charge per hour or by a flat fee so it differs, but there will be a Dyno video then driving very soon!
