Have you got any decent non blurry shots so I can see how the spacers work?

twinning on the shale for the win

think car be ok there due to its low grip nature it will overcome cars lack of power. thats 1 issue im still worried about is that im going to be low on power. part of me says i wanna see what can be achieved without resorting to m3 power, otherside says frick it lob a 3.0 in like everyone else

last few times its gone real quick from no grip to mad grip, i think the bdc round laid a lot of rubber down in the right places. should be awesome

Lob a 3.2 in it, no more roof scoops or bonnet vents or nonsense - get cracking!

pah! i say more scoops. door scoops, boot scoops, chassis rail vents

Andy.w · 19-06-2008, 23:08

i say 4.4 v8 from 540i e39

Two_Sheds · 19-06-2008, 23:16

Aye, Andy has the right idea, scrub this 6 cylinder crap and get a V8 onboard. Then put a scoop on it.

sammysideways · 20-06-2008, 04:49

id rather not get into engine swaps unless i really have too. once cage is in im taking it to a bmw specalist near my work, if the engines frickered then ill look at going for 3.2 lump.

i just wanna get drifting asap, engine swaps are time consuming so its only a last resort plus i believe 2.8 is more than capable at bdc level.

**Bon Bon** · 20-06-2008, 09:03

V8 is a no go idea in E36, I wanted to do it too, but you need the one off alpina sump, one off alpina oil pump, one of this, bla, bla, bla. lol

WANDERS · 20-06-2008, 23:49

hey from what model is your radiator?

sammysideways · 21-06-2008, 05:22

328 fella, stock rad i believe

sammysideways · 15-07-2008, 16:03

Been a while since last update. been busy trying to apply for navy and working my ass off.

Big Thank you to alex at k-drift who picked the car up today to get lots of work done on her, including cage and few other little jobs. Should be awesome when its finished.

Also had a few little packages and goodies arrive too to keep me busy when the cars back.

prisspringle · 16-07-2008, 09:17

glad to see theres someone else with a e36 touring, i've got a 328 to, just not with the mtech kit. just slap a turbo on the car( my plan with the std manifold cut and shut to fit a turbo), thats gonna be the only real way to get more powers or swap a m3 engine in.

did the M50 manifold and bbtb make a differance and did you get it re-maped to suit?

Daniel · 16-07-2008, 11:04

I saw this on the A41 yesterday on the back of a K-DRIFT trailer, the bonnet looks eevvviiilll

sammysideways · 16-07-2008, 15:42

id say the 325 manifold and tb have only made a slight difference in throttle response, havent driven it properly yet so cant really say much in terms of power etc, feels alot smoother though. havent had it re-mapped either, got a few other bolt ons to fit yet so will look at doing that after there all fitted.
going to keep mine n/a for reliability and ease.

danieru yep that would of been mine, thanks bud.

prisspringle · 16-07-2008, 19:17

from what i hear the manifold+ BBTB helps the top end as the std manifold is the restriction, you can feel it most in 2nd/ 3rd gear.

i'm considering it to help with the turbo set up but its a hell of alot of money i'd rather fab something myself!

chris

p.s. thought about an M20 flywheel and cluch to free the revs up?

griffo20022 · 16-07-2008, 19:44

Sounds good Sammy

IF you were considering an engine swap and were looking at the 3.2's just be a bit careful in what you buy as the twin Vanos systems can be a little fragile

the 3litre ones are much more reliable.

Would be awsome to see it go down the turbo road mind!

M3 turbo · 16-07-2008, 23:14

Turbo it, i have loads of parts to do the job and equipment to map it!!!!!
