who tracks their swapped car?.....

[FredK]

On a Euro/S54 swap, does the oil pump gear get changed to the standard E36 pump gear? What about the oil pump chain?

[gobuffs]

well he said he is running the e34 pan setup like the non-euro 24v cars, and isnt the pan and pickup the issue in question?

also, i believe he means he is just a data point, just one case, that doesnt mean all 24v motors will be the same.

but i should let him speak for himself...

that pretty much covers it. Thanks.

The only other thing I can add is, during my research all 6 cylinder E36s use the same pump except the Euro 3.2. Even the Euro 3L uses the same pump as the 2.0L I6.

The Euro motor, as well as the s54 have different oil filter housings, which hook up to an oil cooler.

Euro motor, track only since I built the car. Race car now. No oiling issues ever. Regular E36 oil pump, E34 pan. Oil sprocket tack welded on. No problems ever. Data log to prove it. I don't even have an accusump on it. There are other people that have had huge issues with oiling. *shrug* Mine is just a data point. Proves nothing.

i have drifted on my mine for the past year now no real issues just lots of r3vlimit

no real issues?.......any fake issues?.....

do you run a gauge?...

[JRKOUPE]

I track my turbo M50. Had some overheating issues and I get lifter tick now and then, but nothing too bad.

I assume no gauge?...

[JRKOUPE]

yes it is noticable on left hand turns. Get a VAC baffle.

can you elaborate?......

do you run a gauge?......what is normal press?......what does it drop to?....

[e30s50dan]

mine is getting close to track..you guys have any pictures of your swapped car for the track...interested in what suspension/roll cage/tires/etc everyone is using

Race car. No baffle, no problems for 5 years. AIM dash, full data, no oil blips ever.

Ive seen many of your posts over the yrs......so you track the car alot...and NO issues at all?.....Im interested in what you have to say.


(yet the post below yours states issues?.....sometimes these forums can be so confusing for basic info.).....

[JRKOUPE]

Is VAC's baffle a weld-in unit?

Fred......wazzup.


its one tack weld....you can bolt it in if you wish. I spoke to Vac.

LMK if you want one...maybe i can swing a deal for us.
