e30guydownunder: Project M42, probs definitely got more power than your S50

El Esse Juan

I have no idea what this is.

[e30guydownunder]

Iain is far too worried about the RTA to toy with that idea

[dirtysix]

Sounds like you need to speak to signor El Esse Juan. :P

I hear there's a wagon floating around that could do with a dose of El Esse Juan.

[e30guydownunder]

Got the Pistons in. Timed the cams up last night, now to work on assembling it for good.



I was surprised how good the head came out. This thing was filthy, burnt oil everywhere and it came out like new, even the bolts came up like new.

[e30guydownunder]

Signor would not give me free shit! I do however have a new set of pistons and a fuel cell to play with.

[Iain]

Sounds like you need to speak to signor El Esse Juan. :P

[e30guydownunder]

need more time in the day! getting some uni stuff out of the way for tomorrow then I can tackle the bottom end assembly :)

Got a new one recently Mr Iain

[Iain]

Had your torque wrench calibrated lately?

[Water Boy]

Keep up the good work Chris!

[e30guydownunder]

Hey I now know for sure that at a minimum the bearings are sweet as! Shame it cost me a piston though : / Got some more goodies arriving this weekend but will be way to pissed to do anything with them, woot engagement party with large bar tab :D

[DTM190]

I think you just like seeing the inside of your engine :p

[e30guydownunder]

And the EGT Kit

[e30guydownunder]

And so it begins again:



Crank Torque to spec:

[e30guydownunder]

I think I'm well on my way. The engine all things aside, was running super sweet. 240/250 will be easy on the engine and more than spastic in an E30 that tips the scales around 1050kg's, it'll be way under tyred at this power level, should make for some good fun times

I think third time was a while ago though.

[Massimo]

You have had some bad luck dude. Hopefully third times the charm. It is the thrid time isn't it.

250kw is going to be crazy on the E30
