Michael. 2312 Report post Posted March 14, 2011 Cool, an M3 full OBC. What a great range. But ahh.... thats right aren't 740is more economical than a E36 M3? It makes sense a E38 V8 would be better on gas since it weighs 400kg more and has another 1.2 litres AND 2 cylinders to pump. Based on that they must get +1032km range I would say.

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted March 18, 2011 Cheers! One of the next things on the list is sort out my "track" centre pipe. Thinking of 2 straight throughs similiar to yours Josh, maybe a X or H pipe. your e30 has a H pipe on it if I remember correctly? Will have to have a geez soon nah, when the track pipe is in it replaces the center muffler with a straight pipe. like this: \\\---------------|---|--------------\ /----- ///---------------|---|--------------/ \------ ^......................^....................^ headers............track/center......2inch into 3.5inch then into muffler back to 2 ........................muffler switchout ascii diagrams ftw older photo here however missing the center removeble center muffler/track straight pipe (was added after this photo was taken.

DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 19, 2011 Sweet cheers for the info. You have used the headers that came with the s50? and used 2x2" pipes to retain torque? Im looking at using straight pipes to bolt into the stock setup with an AA Gen 3 exhaust at the rear. The Australian road regs are quite tight with emissions and noise :S. For street use ill need some high flow bolt in cats. But F@#$ me they are expensive. Have you found any reasonable ones in your time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look and this thread for the rest of the pics instead of me polluting your thread http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....st&p=329797 The Australian road regs are quite tight with emissions and noise :S.Yeah they are here too our Low Volume cert process is pretty much the same as aussie however as mine was put into a 80's car, the law states that if the vehicle came with cats then you need to have cats .. 86 e30's didnt have catsHave you found any reasonable ones in your time? Hmm nah .. only stuff on UUC or Turner motorsport. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrphTa 5 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 Just low down torque. I have a dodgy throttle cable too which could be making it seem hesitant. Why not replace the seals for $100? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I resealed my one, all the OE seals were out of Germania too. Mine seemed to be losing oil pressure all the time, made a huge difference afterwards. E: Change the Vanos filter too, they clog up very easy. Edited May 13, 2011 by Greg.
