FML! Money shifted my s50 swap! FIRST DAY!

I have a full set of valves if you're interested....

[nrubenstein]

All the valves are bent, 3 spark plugs are smashed, 3 cylinders have 0 compression, 1 has 90, then the other 2 have 50..... I heard that only the zf310 transmission from the 95 m3's will allow you to go in any gear at any rpm, as for the zf320 will not. Has anybody else heard that the 320's have this upgrade?

It's just you. I own both transmissions and both will allow you to fuck yourself.

I still want to know why your rev limiter was set to 7,500?

Danny with the red 4 door? Is that that little waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles kid who looks like a girl?

Yes.

I wish Jordan was here.

lol

All transmissions will allow the driver to money shift. Transmission was not the problem. lots of money shifted 96-99 M3's lol

is the bottom end still alive?


if the cams are still ok and the pistons are not destroyed/rod bearings still ok - just install any good #400 casting head and you are golden. you can even instal a NON-VANOS head for double valve springs if you like - it will directly take the vanos. I did this on my S52 (use m50 nonvanos head and keep vanos and s52 cams+s52 everything)

i will look into this. thank you for the advice i really do appretiate.

I used the stock m3 ecu and my ews delete chip. Im assuming it raised the rev limiter as well as deleted ews...

I did this once. the first week of owning a 94 325is. messing around on the freeway and big fail. topped out 4th gear , went to go in 5th and dropping into 3rd. Do the math 125 in 3rd gear lol. i was lucky to catch the clutch around 7500 and not lock up the rear end. car still drove for a month b4 it took a shit or a valve dropped lol. Some how i got 900bux for the car with a busted engine. GL
I have a phobia now when hard shifting into 5th at speeds above 110 lolz

because 24v car.........

hahah yeah i know how you feel. I haven't drove a stick yet but i already have the phobia of accidentally going into 2nd instead of 4th. After i drop in this other motor, i'm going to respect the car so much more. lol

The best lessons learned are the ones learned the HARD way... unfortunately.

Ah. Sounds like your tach is a bit off, then. i havent heard of any off the shelf chips set higher than 7,200.

Jordan would've been all over this on Bimmerforums!

Like blood in the water.....

[Myster-E]

I did that once with my old M50. Luckily I sourced a low mileage S50 long block quick. I was kind of glad that happened.

I have found it quite helpful to NOT drive the ever loving shit out of my cars, they reward you in the long run with straight valves and good comp.
