e46v12 477 Report post Posted June 24, 2017 It certainly is Olaf best thing about it is that the pump is integrated into the sump itself so no need for scavenge lines. Hi Graham yes it is a Dailey kit not the cheapest but certainly one of the best sumps you could get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e46v12 477 Report post Posted June 26, 2017 So got a very nice surprise today. Had both the powder coater and machine shop call saying all the parts are ready for pick up. Sorry about the bad picture as they were taken with the parts in the boot. Block all nice and clean now, broken bolts taken out and no need for a resurface as it was straight as. Flywheel resurfaced and lighten, now down to 10.4kgs I should have weighed it before hand but say it must be atleast 3-4kgs taken off. and Rocker covers all coated gloss white and underside unpainted. Getting closer to getting this thing put back together. Will be taken the block to the engineers later this week to get measurements to help with fitment for the ITB setup. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For what its cost me to do the V10 i think the V12 would be much easier and cheaper, 40k doesnt go far and yet to turn key still the sound should be glorious as it will be for yours. Either way both are different and kinda over main stream V8 swaps....i feel a Indy Car motor could be interesting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e46v12 477 Report post Posted June 28, 2017 Haha imagine the price on one of those! what did you put the v10 in? do you a a video of it running? love the sound of the v10 in the video that i shared with the custom ITB setup. And considering it has 500hp from factory that's not bad at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going into a rusty old E36 sedan and not far off running im paying a few good mates to finish off wiring etc as my business is growing at a rate i cant keep up so time is spent on that. Mine uses the stock 10x ITB's with stakes and no filters, as for the power ? It is what it is as when done is my tow vehicle for the other toy im building, no its not another BMW wasted time on the last one i built as certain people running a certain series seem to look after their own agendas rather than increase participants. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e46v12 477 Report post Posted July 2, 2017 Hey Team Just another small update. Did some more cleaning, got the main end caps and bolts cleaned, timing chain, gave the bearings a good wipe and took all the piston rings off. Once i get the block back from engineers should be good to start putting things back together minus the heads though. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You also have the unique position of fairly equal usage of Crunchy and what I assume to be your real name (SM), I once heard two people debating whether Crunchy or SM built better turbos. You helped me out a bundle back in the day when i was a broke ass building a mitsi libero (DECEVR), I'm still grateful to this day. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e46v12 477 Report post Posted July 6, 2017 I can't wait there either 0-60msport! especially an angry sounding v12 Hey EuroV8 i hadn't thought of that but now you mention it. As i will be getting the shop that is taking care of the electrical side to mount the engine in, I'll get him to save the design in some sort of form and put it on here for any1 else that would like to do the same swap. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e46v12 477 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Hey Team Managed to get block back from the engineers today so will start putting the engine back together as soon i have time during the weekends when i find some time. While at the engineers he was telling me about his own little project that he's currently working on with all his 100 other jobs. A Toyota V12 which he is making some awesome CNC ITB for it! So my project will be done when he gets to it hopefully not too long Here's a few pics of the two v12 blocks next to each other, I'm quite surprised how well designed the bmw v12 is, so compact and smaller but yet bigger in displacement than the toyota v12. and a couple pics of the heads, Figuring out whether we can do a regind for the cams or to make them from scratch.
