if you cant locate the leak,remove thermostate from the housing.that way it wont get hot and it keeps the water pressure down.cheap,short term fix

gates a 38mm. the guru in the states reckon's that good enough flow up to 400hp. he informed me that going too large will release too much gass, causing more boost spikes and uneven boost curve.

ecu install was done at 'speed source' up in warkworth. EMS system

yeah that 55 corner came up rather kwik.your pants not smelly are they??

Just got the car back from tuners. rough tune stage. got a number of kinks to iron out before fine tuneing. great to drive,almost violent. had bought a wastegate with a 0.5 bar spring.turns out its a 15 pound sucker. runs super rich and managed to 254 kw at the wheel on the dyno. i dnt know how its supposed to feel like on the road,but after sum 'testing' tonight is it brutal from 3500 all the way to 6.pinged occationally,and had a few great backfires.lovely

yum. think the next project is not far away might buy shares in shell/mobil

Plumbing??? what plumbing? cant be easier. mount the 25mm thick radiator infront of the aircon.possibly without removing the fan.you are running a e34? plant the water/air unit anywhere there is space and buy sum cheap garden hose.and a small pump. or cut a 3" or so hole though everything and paying large $$ for silican elbos and bends etc. but each to there own

me 2

Also, the water to air intercooler i'm selling has less the 1 psi drop. worth thinking about.

http://not2fast.com/turbo/compression/compression.shtml most helpfull when dreaming up hp numbers. the turbo maps are a little out dated but you get the idea of whats going to work. do your home work to find out your desired ve numbers etc to be 95% most accuarate biggest Q is 'can my motor handle it'????? well it still is for me anyway

i'll set you up if your keen. give me a call and we'll talk cheers marty 021 438 735

dont know what you need to run a low boost supercharger set up. but as for the oil filter housing; get or check up on the 750 setup.it is a remote.they have the oil filter bolted up against the left gaurd,rather tidy

thankfully it stayed dry long enough for Brendan and I to finish stripping down on Sat. loaded onto trailer today. Guy's got plans to fit V12 into a lambo replica of some sort. this motor sounded fantastic at around 6G as he was 'making shore it didnt smoke' test forkhoist makes life sooo much easier trailing arms and self-leveling bits will sell i'm shore bolt cutters;the answer when your tired of unscrewing 20yr old bits see ya,thanks for your $$

Steam??? what steam?, unless your refering to the water injection, if you want to get techical

Bestest mate aye??? we'll see IF you'll still love me when i whip you butt with my hairdryer configeration

all a good sale needs is someone with the money and a desire to have what you have to sell. sometimes you need to get the kids into the candy shop before they start buying.

$1200 engine and a ecu to match.cheaper then all other options mentioned so far

/i got a 3.5 out of my e28.ran great,good power and have receits for head work not too long ago. also have e34 3.5 ecu

Another red e28?! should an interesting show and shine. well one day anyway when i'm FINALLY finnished with the optional engine xtras

got one of those laying around place.$90

it realy depends if you want to buy "off the shelf" or get your hands dirt and do it yourself? your welcome to check out what ive got. to give you an idea what a 'home made' would look like

interesting,not very subtle though.prefer to go fast upto the corner,throw out the anchor and turn

http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa128/red535t/ engine; e34 block (early) Hartge few scratches in 2 of the bores.but used it as the holes were straight and not much wear measured. pistons; kept the originals 9.0- compression' a few markes but hey it was cheap. new rings-nothing fancy/new bearings shells/seals MSL gasket -25% thicker then standard head off a e32;stripped and reasembled by shop.best of what i had in the parts bins(valves,rockers) reground cam shaft. apparently a little more angle(?) revy?? new timing chain-slotted front sprocket,TDC perfect. after the engine was reasembled i fitted a m5 paddle clutch and dropped it back in the hole.clocked up 1000 odd k's before removing the exhaust /manifold and started fitting up the bits 42lb injectors-cheers TCD 38mm wategate cheers TCD Turbo-t61 100mm intake.T4 hotside think i'll get a beany for the hot bit-it glows HKS 100 filter pod for the front of its mouth to keep birds and small children being sucked in to it. 2.5' exchaust from begining to end with 1 coby and 1 3' muffler at the end. had it running with the old loom/ecu and it wasnt too loud but has lost the bmw 'burble' intercooler sourced overseas (which i bring into the country,one of which is now on trademe). frontmounted 18'x12' radiator still to come to cool all the hot stuff down 3 VDO sender units for the usual info-oil pressure/water temp/boost.looking to fit a small/tidy digital display sum where in the dash looking to re-wire a e34 loom into the bay.looks a heap more tidier.and then an ecu.looking to go with a EMS 8860 system. keep stock ignition at this stage this is 4 months of on/off mucking round in the shed has produced cheers marty

well see what numbers come up at the dyno. as for my mistakes,i can give lessons. at a small charge. most parts pictured were imported.let me know what bits you need,i'll give you a price
