Put rubber engine and trans mounts in. I bet you'll get rid of most of the problems you have.

My mounts are in wrong I finally figured out how they go I didn't realize the offset was front to rear and I have the whole motor sitting to far right because that's the only way I could make the mounts work.

Hi yall bye yall

[5Toes]

He so badly wants to prove everyone wrong and "stomp" s50 swaps, and have the fastest m42 " in all of the land "

The only good thing good about an m42 car, IMHO is the trans does not get tipped during a swap. And linkage does not need to be bent.

Lots of guys on m42club who are legitimately building them. And not just listing cool parts. Spend 1000s and have minal gains. The m47 crank alone can run you 1000$ +

Even some of the supercharged cars over there, are only making 200 on paper

Ive read many of the m42club threads. They are not getting minimal gains. heres a e36 with a 7k rev limit and 4.10 diff. It rips thru the gears pretty nicely and weighs about the same as my e30. His engine is developing 215hp (must be at the crank). Atleast I will genuinely know what I am talking about after this build. I have the RHD flywheel in the mail and am 2/3 of the way to ordering their ITBs.

standard valves and dta s40 ecu, i don't know how to post pictures of the engine bay, https://youtu.be/4M7YZYHxtUA (this clip shows the engine bay but it was filmed early in the morning and had just been started so was still on cold start) its still on its dyno map as I'm looking into going 2500cc and it is expensive getting someone over to make a proper map, it has a 4.1 diff and the standard compact ti gearbox which seems to be holding up well as i gave it lots of abuse when i ran a 2.8 engine. it weighs 1115kg which is way too much

Toes pls. NA = no replacement for displacement.

M42 sucks because its low displacement, not because it cant breath enough air.

[e30_world]

How are we still on the m42 discussion! Haha anything new going on? Who brought what home! Haha

[Matt-B]

I got a new white box for taking pics

[djjerme]

I took the day off work and got the racecar looking like a complete car again..



Just have to get some paint on it, then address the front corner and it should be almost ready for the next Lucky Dog race.

Should be.

Exactly, just buy my DASC and never look back...

Did a lot of shit today, and monday. Got the reservoirs for the masters mounted, got the remote bias adjuster cable attached and routed, Got the M60 and tranny back in the car, got the clutch plumbed up, and got the fuel rail, injectors, fuel lines, return line and pressure regulator lines all remounted....

It's getting closer, as long as the wiring doesn't kick me in the dick, I might be able to drive it to the picnic after all.....

Toes stop dreaming.. This reminds me of a few years ago when you were doing an "imaginary" M50NV hi comp build. Live in reality with the rest of us and pick up a cheap M52 or V8

Let's discuss this high comp m50, I don't remember what configuration of parts makes this, but I do recall you can build a 2.825l with 11.25:1 compression with junkyard parts. Sounds fun to me if you can get it to run right. I really want build a 3.0 m50nv

[e30austin]

You hipsters and your whole "I fuckin hate VANOS" bullshit...lol.

[CorvallisBMW]

Anyone have some stock BMW airboxes I could use for test fitting? Looking for V8 (540/740), S54, etc. Anything cube-ish shaped would work.

A 3.0L M50NV is just a S50 with the wrong head config

Reminds me of the older old schoolers.. Carb 4 life! That fuel injection black magic is just too complex!

Truth on all ends. I refuse to work on carb'd motorcycles anymore.

And i hate seeing guys calling 3.0L M50s "poor man" S50's...this isn't Honda-Tech:hitler:
