im a little confused, got a big engine to fit in a small bay lol, maybe im reading the rules and regs wrong or im just a retard but how far back is it possible to have my engine, like ideally i need one cylinder behind the original firewall, as im reading/if correctly it says this... No part of the engine block may cross the vertical threshold of the original firewall into the transmission tunnel can anyone shed some light for me? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?hkzn5g
hmm i did guess as much, what about cars with already modified bulkheads? driftworks s15 and so forth have there engines sat right tucked away? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?5zkwir
problem solved, cheers, looks like a smaller engine will be required then! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?kccaad
Out of interest, what was you thinking of fitting? Straight sixes, V8s, and V12s go in on stock bulkhead E30s (or at least stock enough!).
IF you attend the logging day on 20th April at Teesside your car will be eligable to compete in the BDC for the next 2 seasons with a modified bulkhead. So really, it depends if you'll be attending the logging day and if you're bothered about it not being up to regs in 2 years time.
thats great lozza, sorry if i sounded dumb! being as the car builds only just started theres not a chance of seeing logging day! at least I havent done anything with the bulkhead as o yet, shame im going to have to scrap the engine and have a re-think --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?kz531b
this was the engine 4.0 supercharged. il just use the charger on a smaller lump --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?vw2qsw
iv had a big six, 3.5litre in my old e30 and i was never really happy with the weight distribution, felt too front heavy. the jag engine is about an inch longer but i feel its going to weigh the front down. it also would need some heavy modifications to the sump. i need the engine 4inches behind the bulkhead to make things work --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?yl4feb
just to show you what i mean lol, its a big engine! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?0ed2wm
it is a long lump, im sure il be able to put the charger to some use on a different engine, so not all is lost! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?u1qub4
what about a supercharged jag v8 (aj-v8) a la x308 xjr/daimler super v8, have driven a few and quite the lively motor stock..
think i might be going with an sr20, like the move the front wheels idea haha. not really fancying a v8 really, just bought another 325i to do practice days in so might strap the supercharger to that --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?m4agym
