325IX restore and build continued(turbo, e34ix diff, DCT)

[nomansland92]

That was my original plan to never launch it, but the whole point of building awd is getting off the line quick, and I'd also like to be making somewhere in the mid 400s at the wheels even if I need a bigger turbo allthough I love having absolutely no lag :)

My plans for the front diff is using e34 parts, diff, axles, custom oil pan and hopefully it can fit without moving the cross member forward or the motor backwards. I'm not going to start the project until winter.

Thanks man, my timing map is still whodwho 60lb base map, we ran it in on the dyno and verified it was safe but didn't go any further because I was getting spark blow out. So one whodwho finishes my new ms2 with wasted spark I'll go back and turn the boost up and get a good tune. And maybe by then I'll have a bullet proof front driveline too.... is going to be a big winter project and some crazy ideas haha

Looking at your car it looks strange without side skirts. Ultimate sleeper i guess!

Those screamers must be so loud. My screamer is so loud I want to tie it back into the exhaust!

What plans do you have for the driveline? I picked up a space front 3.64 front german ebay a couple years ago in preparation for this... First and second gear is where you run into trouble breaking things, so just don't launch is my plan hah

I finally got around to checking this build out again. Great progress!

I see you removed the afm which looks clean and your exhaust is nice! I just got the good n tight turbo manifold and now I have to change my exhaust so it will fit the downpipe to the turbo.

You should post pictures of your spark and timing maps.

Me and my buddy went for a little cruise the other night to be that one loud guy going though some tunnels. He has a Trans-am ws6 that is just un godly loud haha. But with twin 1.5in screamer pipes from a little old BMW is pretty fun. I tried to post a video but it didn't work, I'll try later on my laptop.
But here's a few new pics any way

It was rebuilt by drivegear but I bought it from guten parts. Even for being rebuilt is still pretty loud at idle but they said everything was replaced

awesome progress man. car looks awesome. I wanted to ask where you had your transmission rebuilt. Mine needs a rebuild bad.

[nomansland92]

Any other driveline upgrades? (Sorry if I missed them earlier in the thread)

Just a rebuilt transmission and lengthened front driveshaft spines, so hopefully it holds up

any video clips on the dyno?

I didn't get a chance to get any dyno videos because I was pretty busy helping tune the car, but once I get the wasted spark done it will be back on the dyno and I'll get some some videos, I plan on making over 400awhp next time

Sub'd. I'm in need of inspiration for mine. I have the block torn apart and yet to be machined. Still sorting out tiny problems stock before I start the mad turbo process. This is looking great. Keep it up!
