Very slow Alpina 4,6l V8 swap

[jannmann]

I'm surprised they didn't use MLS gaskets from the start, BMW made the switch with m62's starting in 97. What year is that engine?

Mine F3 engine is 97.

94mm bore/85mm stroke

Set up on a Shim under bucket 32valve... talk about the kind of headache that will give you sleepless nights.....

Easy when heads are in your hands.
But pain in the ass when heads are assembled to block and engine sit in e30 engine bay.

Now i set basic clearanse to 0,3mm. Correct clearanse to cams = 0,25mm
But i dont know how much clearanse will change when i tight heads to block. In s14 clearanse change aprox. 0.02-0,03 when head assembled to block.

Been busy with 5 weeks old baby boy. Only making molds for carbon parts. I hope I get block from machine shop next week. Then I can check valve/piston clearance.

No progres with engine, but finally get ecu(M800) for it + cop coils (Porsche) + injectors.(530cc)
Thinkin also go with EWP. I hope that BMW 200W own EWP are right choise.

Are you having carbon engine dress up parts made up? Are you using the s62 ITBs? What's your plan for throttle linkage? Cable or flyby wire?

FBW is my plan. Motec handle it well.
S62 actuator+ e39 e-gas pedal. Which is basically bolt on to e30.

I make modified s62 plenum from carbon. OEM plenum is heavy and full of useless pipes/hose outputs.

Currently i'm buildin new ABS loom for MK60 ABS system.
If someone have interested MK60 ABS setup, have a look :https://www.facebook.com/bmwm3motorsport?fref=ts
That is best Place to get it.

Today i get engine mount bushings.
Those are direct copy from e30 M3 GR-A engine mounts.
Very clever desing.



In this pic you can see original desing.

Take some time and started to modifie plenum for mold making.





All crankcase ventilation stuff have to go.
Now i have to close all holes, paint it and make mold.
I only wish i have more time :(
