E30 M60 v8 swap with GT45 Turbo

[JGood]

If it is lame them why are you here simply put. No need to put negative comments its not needed. I was talking using the oem bmw manifold flipped. the s62 valves are slightly bigger in length. I am just using the s62 cams using m62 not m62tu heads. I started this build last monday since I already had a few motors suspension parts piping etc laying from previous work. I am doing this from my driveway because I don't have room in the shop and I have all the equipment I need at both at home and the shop so why not.

So m62 non vanos heads, with s62 dual vanos cams installed? What kind of machine work did it take to make them fit, and how are you controlling the cam movement? I think you are the first person in the world to do that, so we all eagerly await pics.

I'm uploading pictures now to my email. just waiting for them to send. I went through about 10 cylinder headers to make it work. I basically made the bearing seats wider/deeper if that made any sense. Kind of talking machine talk lol

Yeah, you lost me in the technical details.

I worked several years in a machine shop and have no idea what you are talking about.

So you went through 5 sets of cylinder heads to figure it out, but in this thread ( http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=615494 ) you couldn't even figure out how to get the heads off? I understand people can learn a lot from their mistakes in 8 months, but really?


EDIT: Are those just the pictures from the engine you claimed broke two connecting rods from water?

Mr. Zach Based, come on, do you not expect people to use search engines? Yes, Really. I wanted to see the amazing work your shop, err... I mean driveway with your Dad does.

What about the pics of the fully built turbo m62? That's just a disassembled stock m62.

Is 'Fear No Evil Performance' a registered business in NJ?
