A freakin supercharger?! Are you insane? LOL! I can't even wrap my head around this. AWD supercharged s62 e30.

So awesome. Truly amazing work so far.

Sooooo, After bloody ages Im getting back to the grinding stone! Dragging the old turd out the corner and cracking on with this project!.

As many of you probably know I have started a company called Ergen Motorsport, BMW specialists. Obviously has been very time consuming but now things are ticking over I can actually dedicate some time to this :)

So, To recap, S62, X5 sump, diff, etc, e30 chassis, Custom interface plates between v8 bell housing and getrag 265 box, e34 Tcase controlled by a simple potentiometer to allow manual control of... grip (or lack of :) )

Now I have found some additional parts.... Which will no doubt cause more headaches!!! :D



The chopped up subframe from previous pages was good, but just didnt give enough space for the steering.

So, seeing as we're mounting the engine off the chassis, we made these:



The idea being these will locate the wishbone ball joints, roll bar mount, and will be the anchor points for a sturdy bent tube custom subframe which we'll mount the steering rack off of.

We'll also be using one of new BBK's to stop the thing :)



We have a lot more on the way :) As always if you have any ideas or spot any mistakes let us know!

I don't think GM designs their transmissions for people to put them into '30's pickups or '80's BMW's... ;)

[DER E30]

Waiting on progress pics!

I don't get why the CAGS solenoid has to be on the side of the trans and the R solenoid is on the top of the vette trans... Seems like it would have been better for us if they were reversed... Then the R solenoid would be easier to run, and everybody hates CAGS anyway, 'cause it's BS LOL.
