WYZEUP 283 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) So I'm on the look out for a reasonably priced m60b40 if anyone knows of one and a 404. Don't need accessories. Otherwise I'm on the hunt for a b30 sump if anyone has one laying around Thanks Edited January 14, 2016 by WYZEUP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff002 23 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 why not go to M62b44? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WYZEUP 283 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 For the same power figure? M60 breathes better than the m62 and more solid chain system. Only be worth doing if going to a tu motor and I don't want to head down that path 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) 4.4 with rowdy cams would be the go I reckon.always going to be easier to make more power with more displacement Edited January 14, 2016 by polley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WYZEUP 283 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Hey if I can find a well priced m62 i may go that way, but from the info I've read seems the m60 has been opened up in the inlet department a bit more Didn't you have an m62 sitting around polley?

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 have a good spare m62b44 non vanos if you need. both my e34's I had with the m62b44 conversions made way more power than the m60b40. I run the m62b44 on the old m60b40 loom and ecu etc with a remap. went from 150rwkw to 180-190rwkw torque upto 480-490Nm 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I've got one and matching 6 speed box, saving for a rainy day (unless someone wants to put up a decent offer, then I'll let it go) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 m62b44 in an e30 is as fast as my s50b32. Westy and I tested it one day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 How come? It doesn't quite make sense the more weight you have to turn , the less power at the wheels. one of my cars lost 5-8kw at the wheels after switching from a medium case diff to a large case . and my e28 gained power at the wheels when we converting from a large to medium diff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be awesome thanks as there's lots of little things like the brakes etc.... that i want to get an idea of and how to go about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will 169 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 Effective brakes in a m60/2 conversion are a bigger pain in the butt job than fitting the motor.. definitely not a little thing! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WYZEUP 283 Report post Posted January 19, 2016 Yup from all the investigation it doesn't look easy but is do-able. But I will go and see Kerry when I've got some free time one wknd or during the week Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
