Good choice on going wile wildwood
looking forward to see this build
also just like everyone else, you're going to want to source a 3.73.
The t56 gearing is really low and works well with the 3.73

Radiator you can use from a r34 GTR
Spal 18" fan

[Supadave]

Chase Bay makes a nice radiator. Its tucked giving me more room for the crank pulley. They crank pulley has three belts on it making it stick out pretty far. One is for the A/C, the other for the accessories, and the one at the front for the supercharger.

This is the heat exchanger or "brick" that goes in the supercharger lid. Going to reinforce it so it can hold up to more BOOST. They have been known to cave-in with higher boost levels.

I need to design my fuel setup. Think I'm going with a surge tank setup...

The diff I have now is a 3.15, I'm going to re-gear it to a 3.73.

Sorry for all the links to pics.. Anybody want to tell me how to upload pics??

Stay tuned

Yes.

3,73 is good; going to regear the 3,15 I built
For you years ago??

Time for your car to progress past the blower setup [emoji4]

The Motorsports hardware lsx e36
Uses a 3,9 I built.

The norm range for a lsx + t56 or cd009 I suggest is 3,6 or so for Bmw conversions.

Bmw folk are used to much more closer gearing than the lsx crowd
