Awesome thread! Look like a well planed swap :)

Love the DTM shifter, thinking of ordering one myself. Like what you did to the relocation of brake booster, not a 2 hour job, thats for sure!

Have you considered modifiying the org. S50 oilsump? You will get around the problem of low oil pan then. But this is a track car i guess?

Regards from far north :)

Yes the DTM shifter has a very nice throw to it yet short shift.. helps control wrong gear shifts.

I have used a e34 5 series sump to clear the subframe. The car will be used on the road to start with then will look into the roll cage etc etc stuff later.
I have a wedding coming up to pay for :) I promised the missus I would finish the car soon hence the rapid pace of completion haha.

The progress of this is outstanding. Top notch work being done, I'm so jealous of everything you are doing. Keep it up!

Thanks!

[Teaser]

Wheel design revealed ... Going in tomorrow for their two week surgery.

18x8.5 and 9.5 are going to be this.

Polished lip, gun metal silver centers, black chrome bolts (see second photoshop image below), reverse face for extra toughness and red cap centers (on order)


reverse face vs non reverse.

Yes I know. What I ment was that you could cut, modifiy and weld the org B32 oil pan to fit behind the crossmember. The B32 pan is great for anti oil starvation (Much better than B30). The M50 pan is also very good, but get stuk very near to the ground. A well lowered and stiffend track car will scrape the curbs with a M50 pan often.

Only extra to this mod-application is that you need changing the sway bar mounts to the front of the crossmember, in the chassi. And then turn the sway bar 180 deg.

Nice design...

Ill probably go with what the jet sprint boat guys use on the blown v8s..

Oil pressure sensor with surge tank and high pressure pump which fires a shot of oil onto the bottom end when oil pressure drops. That as some good old baffling. It works out a lot cheaper than running a dry sump the system.

I will likely CAD up a sump gaurd and have it water cut from alloy to protect the well.

Accusump style setup?

Really nice car! Love the m-tech1 kit

Long day today..

Worked on trying to get the rest of the exhaust hung but unfortunitly over looked the legnth of the linkage into the gearbox. So have decided the best way is to sort this is to weld a short link rod onto this rod so the gearbox end fits perfectly.
This held up the drive shaft which I've managed to swap the hanger bearing on.

Got everything else done like re-installing the heater pipes / new painted booster and master cylinder and plenium.
Also installed the alloy race radiator.



too long :( .. time to modify





Welded oil cooler lines for AN fittings.



and the engine




Starter motor wiring.




Installed the fan belt.



Plenium installed





Installed the radiator and new mounts.





Installed the e36 pipes



Stock sensor position in the Fluidyne radiator







Money ... :)




Thats all for now...

I want your car soooo bad. How much would you sell the finished product for? 15k?

[Wh33lhop]

haha .. few problems.

I'm on the other side of the world, its RHD, its cost me well over twice that amount as importing parts to our country isn't cheap :(
And last but not least, its kind of been a dream of mine .. so I wont be selling it any time in the forseeable future.

[Need4Speed1299]

Wow awesome build.
