Alpina B6 3.5 Turbo Tribute

[Bearmw]

I remember the first start being a nail biter due to the length of time for the oil pump to prime. I spun it without plugs and ended up putting some thicker ( Marvel Mystery?) oil in the filter housing and it still took a while. I read that some people pack the pump with something like Vaseline for the first start.

I am glad to hear you aren't afraid to push these old beast motors.

Good to hear these cars are on the road, or close to being driven. Must feel good to finally have a chance to drive them.
Wiring is so much fun:(.
Love to see the video too...

Hell yeah man happy to hear that H35-24 is back on the road. Any chance of a video man? That car is a thing of beauty.

I hope you enjoy text you a video of my H35-24 m3......

Why a 4.27 isnt that extremely high for a s38? Thats whats in my 5spd m20 car and its god awful interstate is 80mph at 5000 rpm in 5th

I do not drive on free way. I drive it in windy roads. I have used a 410lsd on s38 for 18 years. I love it... I have tried 373lsd. I did not like it, because it did not rev up motor quick on windy roads.

I found more cut wires that I fixed. I found my short on my turn signals.........I need to check out my c101 plug for correct connections.

I also got my H35-24 clone back on the road. It been sitting year plus. I need to install a 188 427lsd and a Mason e30 lower X brace. Here is a link.

What was wrong with priming the oil? When i did mine. The pump was already primed from builder. I pulled fuse and relay and turned it over for a while until it was good an primed through the blocked and then fired it up. No problems.

The motor sat for 2 years. Frank and I got it to prime oil m30.....

I don't collect to be as a retirement fund. In the future I will be over whelm inherent on property.

I will have friend Frank help me prime oil on m30. I tried to this weekend. No luck....

Well at some point it's going to be a retirement fund, haha.

Are you just collecting Alpina BBKs then? This would be your second 4 lug kit if I'm counting right.

I would say third set.

I wired up MSD coil kit. Later I will do wasted spark.
