MF42 Turbo. FS :/

[MF DOOM]

ahh, gotcha ^^

Not much of an update but I pulled the turbo old turbo off. Never again will I buy a turbo with a 5 bolt dp flange.. Called AGP turbo and they said the oil feed on my turbo is a 1/4" npt. So I bought one and it isn't a 1/4"npt... problem #1. I read somewhere that BW uses bpt for their turbos. Anyone know?

Bimmerworld sent me the wrong control arm bushings and sway bar links for the e46.. again. problem #2.

And I made a big order from pelican for everything to service the e39. New vanos seals, vc gasket, chain tensioner, TCC solenoid, trans filter aaaaaaand i forgot the pan gasket for the trans...

And every package ive received recently has been beat to shit.

I meant you already have the lengthened driveshaft for the 260 :) Anyone else will have to get theirs lengthened.

I had to get a large flange driveshaft extended 2" to fit the ZF in my car.

M42 gets shorted on everything :( 6cyl stuff is so easy in comparison!

[MF DOOM]

With the ZF you would need a different DS and you need to have it extended. No factory DS is the right length.

If you are 260 it should be strong enough and you dont need a new driveshaft. Much easier!!!

False. No driveshaft fits the m42/g260 setup. I had to have this one built. Its 62 1/8" IIRC

no bitching allowed when you have straight cut gears in your g260

Is that whine normal? Its fucking LOUD! Couple of dudes on e30tech said its normal and some said it wasnt. I guess really all I can do is drive it and find out

[Dj Buttchug]

stay 260. you aint gonna break that thing.

[MF DOOM]

ehh.. If I go ZF then I have to get another driveshaft built(or source one from an e36?) and im not sure if my clutch setup will work with a zf.. not that it works now lol

[wazzu70]

Time for ZF? :)

[MF DOOM]

G260

[wazzu70]

Which trans are you using now? G240?

Sub'd! I'm a sucker for red e30. I be watching my friend.

[MF DOOM]

Heres that video. i only revved it to 3k. wtf? You can hear my frustrations in the video

[MF DOOM]

So school has been whooping my ass. Its strange having to do homework again... Besides changing trans fluid today, absolutely no work has been done to the car :( I have a video thats uploading right now with a question about a whine from the trans.

I finally bought a daily though. e39 touring and its baller as fuck.



Snapped what I thought was a cool picture of some cars we have laying around right now. 442 wagon in the back, e46, then a belair wagon. wagons are so in right now.



And this is changing the trans fluid... pain in the ass

[wazzu70]

That turbo will be very nice!
