bump?!

Thanks for the reply, Yea I saw this picture also. Does it not seem strange that here isn't a gasket there? Is there anyone here who has rebuilt a m50 bottom end who can tell me

Hi people, Went to install my oil pump back on to the block last night and stopped because I thought I was missing a gasket. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-59326584023620_2266_77118099 (Not my oil pump but doesn't matter) On the face where the oil channel is that meets the block. Is this supposed to have a gasket? I can't see any bottom end gasket set with one that will work. I can just make one but could someone please clear this up for me.

Yea nah wanted NZ suppliers.

Ahhh kk, that makes alot more sense now What piggyback ecu are you using? Does it allow you to change spark and fuel etc?

So you are going to change the ECU on this beast you are creating? Do the M50 COP's have a known limit? Or is it to get away from having 6 separate coils

How does mechanical spark help you? Surely with the addition of a turbo fueling is also gonna be a problem. I really cant fathom where the advantage is over COP

Androids will dominate the world. The nature of Android (OSS) allows manufactures to compete at every market price point. Microsoft and Apple cannot stop it they can only hope to prize out niche customers. Iphone will always be a strong player at the top end of the market. I cannot see the win7 phone ever being a real contender in the cell market. Only douchebag MS fanboys will even bother imo. OS4 is a better operating system currently (more responsive, better battery life). Give it to Android 3.0 and there will be virtually no difference. If I was going to buy an expensive phone i would get a iphone4 currently but since Im a cheap barstard (and spend all my money on cars) Android is the only way to go.

I looked at ITB's when doing my M50 build. Basicly I figured the pain wasn't worth the gain. The only real benefit is better throttle response and to get that as barf said you need to change to a MAP sensor. Which requires changing the ECU. In otherwords its freakn expensive!! Does look cool as hell thou

Thank god Alonso that prat didn't win. Bigups to Vettel!!!!!!!

btw, Its best to PM me I'm not checking the forum as much as i once was. Cheers, Rhys

It kinda depends what you want out of your clutch. The heavy duty clutch will easily stand upto the M20B25 engine but won't take the same amount of beating (drifting,burnouts etc) as the the stage 2 (6 puck ceramic) but the increased clamp is going to transfer the strain down your drive train if your rough with it to the gearbox,diff and rear axles. Heavy duty is going to be the best around town clutch and nicest on your drive train. Stage 2 is going to be the best clutch if you don't want to revisit the clutch again. It will also future proof against power upgrades.

Americans....

Hahahaha f**king awrsme bro!

So jealous of you guys talking about purchasing these flash new things

Im after a NZ supplier of ARP rob bolts. Specifically for M50B25 NV anyone??

You dont really want a SR20 Should get something more awrsmer like anything bmw made. haha but in all seriousness to put an sr20 in an e30 you will need. Pretty much custom everything (not a cheap idea)

Why didnt you let me know you had all this stuff lying around..
