Very cool

The last couple of nights has just been collecting parts and cleaning everything. I was just about to order a brand new sump to suit, but Dave (Silver Fox) came to the party and sorted me out an E34 m50 sump so that saved me a headache an a bunch of coin. Cheers again Dave. I also went round to Josh's (hybrid) to go over his oil cooling setup and like every other time, spent the better part of the evening talking sh*t about everything other than the oil cooler setup. I ended up getting a spare S50 oil filter housing he had lying around that I can weld/adapt some -10AN fittings onto as the S50 one has the factory inlets/outlets for the cooler piping. More on that as I progress. Anywho, heres some pics, everyone loves pics. S50 filter housing E34 sump. The factory windage tray thing isn't really needed 'cos I'm gonna use a crankscraper or make something else up. So Graham at Artizan Automotive said to gut it. After. Got happy with the cold chisel. After that, I went to town on all the engine internals that we are reusing in an attempt to make them look like new again. After trying all the normal stuff like Brake clean, Kero etc, I used my Arab instincts and mixed up these three things and they worked a f**kn treat. Was just some scummy GP degreaser, keroseen, and petrol. Basically filled the fish bin half full with it and soaked everything in it then scrubbed everything piece by piece. At this stage it was 11PM and I was in cbf mode, sump came up like new after a couple hours. Was a tedious procedure but is really rewarding and to be fair I have nothing else to do until all the parts show up. Oh, also, after scrubbing the sh*t out of the parts (especially all the alluminium) you have to really wash all the degreasing solution off. I basically ran another bath full of fresh water and soaked it in there for a minute and sprayed it off with a water bottle. I then had another big bath of just keroseen/iso which I dunked the bits in and let drop dry. So far nothing has melted or turned black/oxidised so must be OK. Doing this also will make reassembling the motor a 100 times easier. Photos don't do much justice but everything is cleeeean. Next week, head is off to Steve to get the living sh*t ported out of it, I'll be seeing our other forum sponsor Darren at NZAD for an m3 gearbox and the clutch kit which I will need to balance the bottom end. I will also be cleaning the rest of the bits. Graham and I have also started drawing up different ways of mounting the motor and Gearbox. churrr

So after running a season with the m20b28, I decided I would build a new 2 litre motor to run in the C class. For anyone who doesn't already know, C class is a engine control class with the only real limitation being displacement ( as well as the other controls- tyres, weights etc.). Anywho, sold the m20 pretty promptly and started researching. After talking to a few people I decided on an m50, purely because they are worth peanuts and parts are pretty easy to find for them. I spent about a week sending emails back and forth with Steve (crunchy) - Thanks again for that, really put me onto some good info that was unavailable to me, and Evan at Speedfactor who I am getting most the parts off. I finally decided to get onto a motor. Of course, my first port of call was Ray and Sam at HELLBM. Sam basically walked me through the conversion ( which is now the easy part) and the next day I had a complete engine sitting in my work shop, now thats service! Ray gave me all the parts I would need including the mounts and all the anciliries and loom I would need to get it going, we also went thru and grabbed a bunch of different throttle bodies, inlet manifolds and other bits and pieces which we are going to trial out.After a couple of hours I had the motor in parts and the shortblock was on the stand ready to be stripped. After another couple of hours, the whole motor was in bits and ready to be inspected. I dont really know why I layed these out nicely, pretty much all of this stuff is going in the bin, the only bits we are reusing are the cam retainers and crank. I sent the head and block away to the local engine guy to get the head pressure tested, milled and did the same with the block. I also got them to give the bores a hone so I could give a measurement to the badass peeps at Wiseco so they could build me some High compression pistons. I was going to do this myself and thought meh it's only $80, but if I were to do it again I would do it my self. He didn't really do a good job of cleaning the block which I asked him to do, or maybe I'm just anal, either way I have made a parts washer and am cleaning everything out THOROUGHLY. Thats basically where I am at right now. I have ordered the parts and will update as I go but basically, we are aiming for around a 12.5:1 CR which we will run on E85 or Avgas, some decent porting to come, and a HD top end. I won't go into too much detail yet 'cos to be honest I dont even know what I'm doing yet, but I do know that I have ordered the Forged pistons, H Beam rods, ARP bottom end bolts, new bearings etc, SS valves, Titanium springs/retainers, Cometic HG, and a bunch more stuff from Speedfactor, thanks again Evan, can't recommend him enough. Am off to see Steve this week some time to sort out what we are going to do with the cams and a few other bits and pieces. There ya go, I will post updates and retarded questions as I go. Cheers Ashkan

Just thrash the living sh*t out of it.

Xyz stuff will be fine, ring Evan at speed factor, hes a forum sponsor etc.

Happy birthday mate

haha!

Awesome! What are you doing for ecu?

Give the guy a break. Who hasnt rubbed one off into a strangers underwear?

Im using a m50 alloy radiator, worked in the m20 and works with my m50 so assume it will work with your m52? I will dig up where I got it from but it was around $450ish. Can even borrow my one if you want to test it first to make sure, it's out of the car and will be for a while, has big fan stuck to it aswell if you need that.

Scum, really?

Just thought I would try here before buying a new one which I can't bring myself to do. Anyone got a big (180 litre plus) parts washer they want to get rid of? Don't care what it looks like as long as a block can fit in it. Broken pump is ok as I'll probably hook it up to a fuel pump and run fuel thru it anyway. Cheers

What about adjustable camber stuff? Or would the cert plate be stamped with xx degrees and any change will make it void?

Cool vid, def needs skids.

Nice one. But sorted thanks dave

The more accounts you make, the more we delete. You have never made a valuable post at all on the site and to be honest don't know why you keep coming back. You blatantly abuse valuable forum members who contribute valuable information and have a wealth of knowledge where as you don't know sh*t from clay and probably couldn't drive a nail into sand to save yourself. The abusive pms and emails to mods don't help your cause either. Don't try to sound like a tough guy either, we have seen your sissy apologies. I think I speak for everyone here when I say get the f**k out of here we have had enough of being nice. Thread closed.
