323e30 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 updated images. (before m50 conversion) took it to the track once and had major power issues, ecu had packed a sad and the alternator wasnt switching on so rather than pissing around with it i just began to get it ready for the m50. Will have more updated images soon of engine bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drifty325i 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Nice dude your really making some good progress, are you sure you want to stick with an m50 2.5 ? they really aren't that powerful unless highly modded ($$) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
323e30 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Nice dude your really making some good progress, are you sure you want to stick with an m50 2.5 ? they really aren't that powerful unless highly modded ($$) Basically have the 2.5 m50 cos i got it cheap , otherwise i probably would have gone for something m3. plus i Need to keep it as a 6 cylinder to stay within the race class rules. I just figured better of spending money on a dohc rather than a sohc in the long run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
