No name user 379 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 Really Why? Which one would you reconmmend? the quality is fine but not user friendly to adjust the springs dont give enough range versus vacuum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garett 103 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 the quality is fine but not user friendly to adjust the springs dont give enough range versus vacuum True, now ive been reading alot of forums on the Tial Q, there is alot of people having surge issues with having the wrong spring. Mine is a 10 psi spring. ill need to check the vac at idle to make sure i have the right one, i didnt know you had to do that before you ordered it, mind you the didnt ask either.. at least i can send it back and get the correct one if need be, thats the good thing about buying new Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garett 103 Report post Posted June 9, 2012 i just cut the spring to get it right I can see how that would work, pain pulling it apart every time till ya get it how ya want it.. Does anyone know what the best and user friendly BOV is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know what the best and user friendly BOV is? what you have is a good as it gets sorry even the turbosmart bv isnt much better you can run without one but thats another story and requires two throttle bodies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garett 103 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) This weekends plan will be doing some painting on the body and weld the nut on the oil pump while the engine is out, does any one know if you can upgrade the oil pump using one from another bmw engine?? Was also thinking of die grinding the internal side of the block on my engine and sanding it nice and smooth to alow oil to return quicker to the sump..

thorburn 120 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 If you have any oil pumps from an s50 or s54 they are a nice upgrade. M54 pumps are different but seem to have the same internals. You'd need to modify it a little to fit so probably not worth it Are you making up a sump baffle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Are you making the manifold or getting mike to do it? Looks like one of mikes collectors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garett 103 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Are you making the manifold or getting mike to do it? Looks like one of mikes collectors. Yep sure is, i dropped off a donor e36 4dr with m52 engine so he can make it to fit that i assume it has the same clearances as the e36 2dr m50 right? that way i can continue working on the shell. I gave up on making my own manifold i figured for the time involved and the weekends spent it would be cheaper just to get one made, i heard he does a pretty good job.

polley 916 Report post Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah I'm sure they would be the same. He did a pretty good job of my manifold, was worth the wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
