MF42 Turbo. FS :/

[MF DOOM]

Im creating a new thread in hopes that my drivetrain problems discussed in the last thread are all gone and never come back. Fresh start with better luck.

Heres the car during the first year or two I had it. Bought it when I was 16. Back when e30s were cheap. Was doing a timing refresh at this time.



And then

85mm cp pistons
arrow precision rods
balanced crank
VAC dual valve springs
One piece stainless valves
bunch of other shit



And then. Excuse the poor quality of pictures..



Lambo parking like a tool. Look at that donk.




And then.










56mm's of BorgWarner balls. s200sx with a .64 turbine housing. I planned on going with a Kinugawa but the BW was less than a $100 more. I have a meth kit that I started installing yesterday but no pictures.


There is a lot more in the works right now but expect slow updates because Ive made the decision to go back to school. Full time school and work will be taking up most of my time. Going to be a bitch..

That turbo will be very nice!

[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

[MF DOOM]

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

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

[wazzu70]

Which trans are you using now? G240?

[MF DOOM]

G260

[wazzu70]

Time for ZF? :)

[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

[Dj Buttchug]

stay 260. you aint gonna break that thing.

[MF DOOM]

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

[wazzu70]

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!!!

[Dj Buttchug]

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

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

[wazzu70]

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!
