Blunttech / Classic Daily S85 V10 E30 M3 Swap

[socalife]

Any updates?

[blunttech]

Any track guy here might know off the top of their head how it would handle knowing the specs? cant be much of a difference from a v8 m62 or even a heavy s54 on spirited runs, but

Wont really know till we know front/rear balance. The S85 is heavy though. Going to ballast it with a big luke box and stereo. Try and get it manageable and tweak it with suspension. There is a penalty though no matter how you look at it

Plan is to just do a leakdown and compression test on it. Then strip it down and reseal and powdercoat it all. Then tuck it in the corner until all the other stuff is done. Theres like 5 cars in front of the Bav
We need to clone Jake

LOL jake defs need to be cloned. Glad to see that b35 will be getting the love it deserves.

It's been on hold as I was working on other projects. But it is getting some attention lately. Pulled dash and pedal cluster yesterday to get ready for hanging pedals.

Cleaned up a little surface rust on the drivers side floor and painted today.

they use the DSC system to activate it (it has the LWS and accelerometer inputs), I think the oil pan is completely custom anyway not sure if they're still using those pumps.

Not surprised to hear the semi-dry sump pumps might go. I have a hard time believing those are entirely justified as the S65 in the M3 seems to do just fine without them. Also KMS seems to ditch them as well in their dry sump setup (built by Dailey Engineering??):

The only justification I can find for BMW in having them in the car is an attempt to get as much oil from the heads into the pan as possible during cornering and not at all the head drainage issue they claimed in their Aftersales Training Brochure. If that really is the case than a nice baffle setup in the pan should suffice and getting rid of these should simplify the swap, create a bunch of space, and save some weight.

Either way looking forward to seeing what the final solution for the oil pan and those pumps will be.
