M42 race engine build

[series88]

I have a slight crush on that motor

Your car looks great! I like the looks of the fiberglass bumpers and green paint. The idea of a light, higher output M42 is very cool.

How much front camber do you run? looks crazy!

If i remember its 4 degrees, my mechanic is running 5.5 on his. LOL

[joolz635]

I have removed as much weight from the car as i can to gain the most out of the M10 i had in it. The last time it was on the scales it weighed in at 930kg

[ForcedFirebird]

That's light! Was that weight with you in it?

[xtos]

Ah sir...very nice build! Subscribed and very interested !

[joolz635]

Haha, hardly. add another 100kg with me in it.

We are running a M42 as well except it's in an e36. We love it's flexibility and it cheap on fuel compared to a M/S 5X.

You must be in a spec class for under what 2.1 Liters?

[joolz635]

Our club track days work on a power to weight ratio to put you in different classes. Any other events i enter are in unregistered 1601 to 2000cc class.

very nice work. sub'd for that custom intake setup

[Brisbane E30]

Excellent work.

Can't wait to see the dyno results and hear your thoughts on the set up.

Where abouts in Australia are you?

Hervey Bay, RX Automotive built the engine.

Got my airbox back today from the sheetmetal shop and gave it a coat of wrinkle finish for a FACTORY look

We need an "M42 dbilas" group now ;)

[joolz635]

All this talk on another thread about how crap the M42 is just want me to oh so prove them all wrong. I hope the results are all worth it.

I'm curious if you've done any flow modeling on your plenum design? Above my knowledge level but there are people here with actual ME degrees who could help you with that.

Like I mentioned on FB I'm using the part they supply, but it let me plug and play with Motronic 1.3 and tune from there, which is about all I'm good for. Gonna try switching to a hotwire next, now that I have a job again.

Given that you're already in Motec land, could be worth looking into.
