ok..... pics of my cylinderhead, fully ported and newly machined valveseats..  a s42-light!:D
the head is ported by hand, so no machines are used.. what works on the "tic-tac"M3 group-n from 1991 will also work for my car..

e36 has a stiffer body but is a lot heavier then the e30. so the engine feels a bit weak. and the e30 has all the gadgets you need or not (not sure for the seatheat)..
dont forget.. the oldest e30's are over 20years old..

Well i use the dbilas itb intake manifold since that is impossible to make yourselve, was something around 180euros shipped. The dbillas is also plug and play, except for the fuel rail, havent decided on brand for the bodies het because im putting my engine together just now
