topcat

You could.

Air Intake (Simota) $500. 0-1kw

Custom Exhaust system with sports cat $750-1200. 3-7kw

Chip $1100-1500 5-15kw

Engine/Gearbox swaps $10,000-15,000 up to 100kw gain.

Of course these are all guestimates.

Turbo it!!

for 15k i'm sure you could sqeeze out 400hp plus,

with a alittle FI ofcourse.

no offence Apex,up to 150$ pre extra kw for a swap setup,

i'll stick to the sweet whistling sound of turbo goodness

m

It is interesting that FIAT is doing anything at all.

didnt they also come close to 'falling over' as such,a couple of years back?

I guess they made a big comeback in a very few years.

wish i could do that

Nothing wrong with running on 6 cylinders

Unless it's a V8.

Oh....

bad luck, sounds expensive.

oooo, nasty

jokes aside; isnt there a air valve on the back of the motor,this thing craps out on V8 apparently

I googled, Is it that place that do fridges and cooking equipment gaskets ??

I will be self tuning using MegaSquirt.

their based in Kumeu,west auckland

talk to the guys at gaskets unlimited.they make anything you want.

cost me 250$.

i used one of their creations (40% thicker over oem standard), installed a set of used headbolts.ran

1 bar,no problems.m30b35

dropping down to 8.something compression is low.really pissy off boost.

i'd be comfortable with running 9's cr and 15psi.

its all up to the tuners,afterall

m

dont bother with 'brent' for parts,he's expensive,call me

instead.he parks his treasures at my place.will do you a better deal

Dealer said they couldn't get the tools

Still after mats and the autoshift lever thing...

got a set of BBS wheels 17/8 with rubber it does have a et of 10 not 20 as requested

but will fit the e34 easily.do you want a gear lever? might have something.

replacing 'cose of the crack? or somrthing else im not seeing

8.8 compression isnt all that exciting,up will run cheap gas without

prolems.

if you want to do a grind or along those lines, have a m20 cam from

an 525 e34.$80

Agree that it's on a dyno, but that wheel spin chirp at the start is wired.

Screaming NA cars are so much more awesome than turbos in my opinion.

For example:

ballsie driving, i'll have what he's been drinking

interesting article;

combustion technology has and is coming along way

one thing though'

another ///M first: Direct Injection. BMW has not offered Direct Injection on any naturally aspirated (non-turbo) motor in the US due to the sulfur content of US fuel and they do not plan on offering it on them in the future (as we have been told). So all of you on the fence about buying an ///M3 and fearing direct injection will be offered, can rest a little easier

whats the fear of direct injection?

i've only hear good things bout this injector setup.

anyone know different?

m

ed; spelling(again)

actually,dont mind the pug at all,even if it's french.

(and our mechanics refuse to work on it)

Lets just be glad that helen clark isnt in power, thats is the kind of legislation she would get on the band wagon for.

just wait, she'll be gunning for the UN's top job soon enough.

then we'll all be in trouble.(shiver)

ed,is this how we spell trouble? either way-in the shitter

that is a good tune,900+hp is a s@#t load of ponies.sounds a little off at idel though.

and, yeah whats with the burnouts? is that all peeps do these days?

showing me age

Hi all,

just got my hands on these.

rims are in ok condition, front two have alittle curb rash,nothing too

dramatic. caps are bbs stamped.

off a e32,so will fit a e34 and e39,e39.

have a nylon locating bush at present.

tires are 235/45/17 and have 7mm tread on them,basically brand new.

dont have a clue what their worth,need to move them on

as i have no need for them.

also, if your keen PM me

cheers for the input

marty

they are reliable,with alittle regular servicing.

as for auto's,same units are also used in e32-730,735's.so yes plenty of

boxes about.all ZF's. i should know i have two on the shelf,and no home to send 'em to.

biggest issue i have with the model is the heater tape.not a biggie to change etc,

but needs doing

m

Welcome.

A few members from Papakura here now, perhaps the South Auckland meet should be the Papakura meet

good idea,how bout-meet up under the covered carpark oppsite the benchmark/corys electical place(?)takeout etct

then drive down to miranda hot pool.(avoiding ditches)(inside joke)

or bring your best paddock hack to my place/bbq etc.-bit wet at the mo though.need 3 days of wind to dry.

need to keep it to under 1min laps

welcome by the way

m

Hell, should I be afraid?

Read it out to my wife and she got it first time?

maybe you should be

got plenty of camping space out back.

that white e34 still has the leather back seat

autoclutch,morning side.

their the business

is there no one else doing/or even planning a turbo project?

its going to be soooo lonely up front.(way upfront)

can please do sumthing exciting? m3 turbo's the idea.

but then,still in bits,so have nothing to brag about .yet

fun driving it from Brents to my place,thought a helmet was a good idea.

smart i did,lots of bugs.

peppy 320, got a top gear feel to it.especialy the dust,grass,seeds in the eyes,mouth,ears,

nose,hair and down your pants

maybe a bimmersport race/drift/watever day coming up????

hurray,i have oil pressure

now were ready to plumb up the rest of the bits.

Right so I finally figured out what I want, now I just need to find them (which I think is going to be impossible for the rears...)

front: 17x8 et20 running 235/45

rear: 17x9 et22 running 255/40

I'll send mag and turbo and mag and tyre direct an email... but i don't like my chances of finding the 17x9's with a 22 offset.

Thanks for the help guys, if anyone knows where I can find what I'm after, I'd be very grateful

i still have a very nice set of 17" for your car,if you dont like to price of the good guys at M & T

m

yep,dyno rollers writen all over it.

maybe even free spinning rollers-but wont go that far.

either way,8k+ rev limit sounds great

soo,new owner needs to know about electrics and mechanics.

if the computer/brains wont work 100% drop in a link.

if the clutch wont do the business,drop it off at Glens

Not sure if it has been montioned already. But Rob from Barvarian and Gavin from HiVelocity both have 3.5ltr powered E30's. Gavin is building his to go into the open class too. Rob's one is a fire breathing turbo road car.

Apparently you can just buy engine mounts for this conversion. Can not remember who makes them. But Gavin had some.

has robbie got that thing going yet??

hate to have the next turbo project on the road before robbie can get his transplant to fire
