Michael. 2312 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 if their not going with either nor fussed on which one stick LS7 in it or better still a VK56 Haha, word. In hindsight I should have just bought one of those LSX V8 Vorshlag E36 kits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No name user 379 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Haha, word. In hindsight I should have just bought one of those LSX V8 Vorshlag E36 kits. theres nothing wrong with the 1uz i was hoping this project was going to stay all BMW the jet sprint boat i did with 2x turbos on a vh41 stroked on 1bar made a healthy 1380hp and 1100ft/lb were now going to the VK56 its 40kg ligther but still not as light as the LS7 still it makes a lot more power even na, we turn the VK n/a with cams to 10500 sounds very nice.

Oh yeah I love the 1UZ, but for HP/NM Value an LS motor would probably be easier, in saying that they arent too cheap to buy compared to a 1UZ from what I have seen. 1380/1100! I thought Dale Buckleys 1UZ V8 TT Supra was huge at 800 or 900hp, thats certainly something else. Heck, 10.5k RPM from a VK... that would be music!

SRBMW 6 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 You'd hope they weren't going to seam weld that thing on a rotisserie-should be done on a chassis machine if want to keep the thing straight-will be a nightmare for alignment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 Looks like they are really going to town on it! I suppose somewhat of a necessity if they are going to be driving/drifting it hard around race tracks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 Rather eclectic colour scheme they went for. Didn't this start off as a V8 (1UZ / M60?) Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the basis for a successful drift car a high torque engine with a linear power curve? If so, what's with the 13b?? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No name user 379 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) N/A?! For all the effing around they might as well have left the M50 in there.

Always thought drifters were an odd bunch not sure why this was removed posted by Ahmedsinc but i agree on both things Lol, I pulled it cos I had a look at the photos after I posted to realise it is turbocharged & didn't want to look like a total dick How's your E34?

No name user 379 Report post Posted January 26, 2014 the e34 wont stop long story but i basically have too much motor and not enough car got some higher grip pads from cold coming hopefully that does the trick, racing isnt the issue you get time to warm pads but for the cert they need to work like stock as for the go ? now running 10psi 265 tires dont really do alot tis fun though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
