  1. Will scan & post E36 section next.
  2. More useless info, the E34 Alpina Bi Turbo even had gearbox/diff oil coolers mounted in the rear bumper. Thats quality work.
  3. Only buy NZ New cars Yuen unless i know its iron clad history.
  4. Low priced E46 330i on TradeYou? You guys would know how much work/faults it may have with that mileage. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-150417574.htm
  5. For your interest. Hope you can enlarge & read, let me know, i could scan bigger.
  6. Top gear from those guys, as said above Andrew is building one. Lots of dollars for N/A, work hard for each HP, turbo will give more PWR/TRQ & it doesn't care above 2 valve heads. Why not just buy an M30 big block 3.5ltr and drop that in?? http://www.e30.de/335i/00.htm
  7. Yes, thats right. The economy is better when cruising at a good pace, engine runs so much better tho, fueling/timing optimised to an old(like it's owner) engine.
  8. does the E 34 benefit from 98??but you are chipped and afm delete arent you?? No chip remember, MapEcu 2, laptop programming. Only benefits because of timing advanced 8-9 degrees at top end of rev range.Map has ability to run 2 diff maps, i could tune a map on 91 or 95 and have that also and just switch over at will. I am not getting the full benefit of 98 because my engine is completely stock, 10:1 compression would boost pwr considerably. The numbers denote the amount of advance over stock, 0=stock, 2= 2 deg advance, etc etc. 3-D version.
  9. Start up a fund on Bimmersport for the project! "Save the Topcat fund" please donate all loose coin. Have you seen this dudes cars in the states? E34 turbo + E30 M3 shell Turbo, both M30 engines. http://www.europeancarweb.com/features/040...uner/index.html
  10. Article spans E21-E46, Total BMW & BMW Car are both good mags. Any idea which manual box you can fit to an E46 330i?
  11. User pays gone mad, another dopey pc idea like carbon credits etc etc etc.
  12. The M30 suits fi, those figures for a quick tune are fantastic. Intercooler must work, pity the project didn't suit/or work out. Are you building a replacement Topcat??
  13. April issue of Total BMW has E46 info, hope you can zoom in to read.
  14. Getting pricey.The E34 chomped thru $130 at last fill on 98. A brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyre is only $250, fuel is way out of proportion compared to other costs.
  15. He must think he can turn a quick buck.
  16. If you have a quick read it allows timing retardation but not advance.
  17. Chris, you need FULL control of timing.You cannot compromise ignition timing on forced induction. Reliable power costs money, if in doubt save more money.
  18. Hey dude, i said go for Mapecu 2. This gives advance & retard control of your timing as well as the fuel control + you can run additional injectors plus a host of other stuff.Read up on it.I'm running Map2 on my stock M30 engine, if you look overseas everyone does custom fuel/timing mapping now. Dump the crap AFM and go MAP. You have to make decisions on your project that are sound, go for the best your budget can afford.You need accurate info, my mapping is in the gallery.
  19. One option is to keep stock ecu etc, remove barn door AFM and piggy back MapEcu 2. This will give you full control over fuel & timing, otherwise complete full new ecu setup required. www.mapecu.com support kiwi ingenuity! Everything costs big money when you start mods etc.
  20. FAB BMW dismantlers in the UK convert E46 M3 SMG boxes to manual.They convert and sell with engine packages etc, E36 prob diff. Just more useless info.
  21. Very nice E30, if you come to Auckland look us up for a tour of the town.
  22. Very nice! Alpina's live again.
  23. HB! All the best! Fitted those Alpina's yet??
  24. Automotive Art, stunning interiors also, Pininfarina Style. Bangle lacks all that is present in that car.
