A little firewall massaging - M30 swap + save the earth

[BS87]

Notice George is not in the UK though.

[demlotcrew]

Never the less polluting the environment.

Never the less polluting the environment.

And i suppose you have an electricaly powered E30?

[Rob]

inline sixes are run much cleaner than a lot of other types of motors *shrug*

[EverWiser]

Any car that is in a good state of tune and a properly controlled A/F ratio will run relatively clean. Most pollutatnts out there today come from diesels and old cars with blowby (burning oil). It's very arrogant of the "greenies" to believe that we humans are more than just a flea on a dog's ass to the Earth. The world was here long before we "got smart" and will be here long after we've forgotten what technology is.....

Ha you guys make me laugh

I bet most of you have never been to the UK or the EU countries? I have been to most of the states in America and i can see the difference. (like driving down highway 1 in California approaching LA all that smog that just never moves)

The last comment made about the Diesel cars is just untrue; the UK gives tax brakes for diesel company cars which are alot kinder to the environment than petrol. I don’t have anything against big engines but i do believe that good power can be had from smaller forced induction principles. And no my E30 is not electric but a 1.8l that will easily out run on of your 325i :P

Whats this about CO2? Humans produce enough CO2 to damage the Ozone? ROMFL buddy what are you on? For your information the sea produces Oxygen by photo synthesis of micro algea.

97% percent of all pollution comes from industry and business so are you like trying to make the other 3% like 2% or something.

Seeing as I just landed back in the states from my 8 days in Europe, I can see a HUGE difference. You guys use small engines in your cars and LOTS of diesel powered cars aswell. I can apprechate that.
Now, about Georges swap polluting the earth... think of it this way: we pulled a 230k+ mile engine out with leaking rings and a possible blown headgasket (sporratic coolant loss in exhaust). This engine polluted more than the 90k mile M30 we dropped into the car. The thing is, in the US we like big engines in our cars. Gas is 1/2 the cost as it is over there so the concern for mileage is not as great.

Sorry mate you have me wrong, i am not realy talking about Georges swap i think im referring to the general US attitude to life and not playing their part with the rest of the world. And from the comments made by some of the other members (not including you or George) have proved my point.

anyway lets just leave it at that, this is very pointless.

M30's are awesome engines. The one in my e28 533i was just a tank. After it was rebuild, it was undestroyable....

[kidrobot]

It's a tourque motor.

I know, bwaha ha!
You forgot that the things damned bullet-proof and can handle insane boost.
I'm at 2254.63$ I'm just waiting for your motormounts George.

I might go back and custom the headers, downpipe, and exhaust though.

[Rob]

about George's swap?

[kylebes1]

diesels are not that bad really, the technology is just not there yet, the black soot that shoots out is due to the injectors only pumping at like 15k psi, I read that in the future Gov't regulations the pressure will have to be closer to 30k psi to get the particles per billion particles down versus now they are commonly 1 per 100k, naugsty now, clean int the future.

I agree 100%
The US never plays by the rules and regulations they impose on others regarding pollution,

ouch :( i could see the paint coming off...lol i hope you are gonna repaint
