[Rav335uk]

All I will say is.. It is the internet

Sure is

[Dezzy]

Arh isn't that nice you fooking homo's.

Dan you put them stick's in there yet?

I would like to known what it makes with the exhaust & stick's in.

[reggid]

I'm with RAV why go 24V when 12 is enough?

[Jhonno]

I'm with RAV why go 24V when 12 is enough?

Imagine if you'd spent all that time and money on a proper engine though..

Don't forget, M30 is a Proper Engine, the "Daddy" of all the plastic shitters.

What? Old, past it, worn out and left behind?

[march109]

Haha, I have no issue with 24valves if I wasn't as well endowed as I am and perfectly comfortable with my sexuality I'd have probebly dropped one in my engine bay too.

But alas I haven't yet felt the need. 12 valves is plenty for me, not compensating for anything here.

Brilliant results though, whats next?

My wife confirms that 'small and frequent' is what is required....

[oldroydsr4]

Does the 3.0 m54 stuff drop straight into both the m50 and 52 blocks?

Any chance you could knock together a 'sticky' for the zone?

Johnno, just accept the fact, these engines will outlast the plastic stuff even when the plasic goes to the scrapyard.

Now now, no need to be completely delusional now.. There is nothing to accept, there will be many M52's left when the last M30 gives up the ghost in a puddle of it's own oil and coolant

[Rav335uk]

Maybe, but how many M5x's were doing that after about 12 mths from new????
M30's were built to last, and have proven that upto now.

[Jhonno]

How have they proven it? There must be about 3 left in existance..

Nothing to write about, bore sizes are the same, so are the bearings/shells, ive not tried an M50 block but I cant see why there would be a problem

Brilliant results though, whats next?

US S52 cams and an E30 M3 exhaust system

Rav dear,,, the M50B25 I dropped into the the white car in my sig had 190k miles up it when it came out of the E34, I did over 50k miles with that engine as a daily driver and only HAD to replace a coilpack due to neglect from a previous owner.
How many miles has your donk done?

[Rav335uk]

Dan, my donk is older in terms of Years, but has less milsge on it, 116k according the the FSH book i have for the E34 here, about the same as the cabs done.

[Cook318IS]

Of course m30s will last longer if they aren't used Eko has an m52 with something like 230k - it runs so smooth and quietly its unbelivable.

[Dezzy]

Fooking hell Rav you still taking on the 24v boys on your own.

Stop going on about how old your motor is, that's a bad thing. Get with the program things move on, get BETTER.

Bumberclaat raaasclaaaattt, You boys love a good argument, what is it now 5 against one???
Dan, will be picking your Brains soon, have a nice surprise in terms of Engine mate, never know you tossers, might be comming over to the darkside, as the E21 is crying out for an M30

[Dezzy]

You neen you might be seeing sence?

About fooking time.

[DanThe]

Soiling an E21 with an M30 is a treacherous crime

So by your theory Rav, my car is better than yours as it is older

[Dezzy]

And mine

Dan I think we already new that though didn't we?

[DanThe]

Looks like its handbags all round then

[Dezzy]

When is it anything else?

[Falkster]

i cant be bothered. at fast approaching 40 im thinking about off the shelf fast e39 m5 or mitsu evo etc.

You still thinking about an Evo??

[Felix79]

Out of a matter of intrest how many miles would you expect the more modern engines to do?

Dan what are the benifits of using the M3 exhuast over a custom system? Would it not be too small as it's for a smaller engine in terms of cc and cylinders or is it not a factor?

I would be intrested to hear the car with a different system on as I have always found the 24v engines to be more mute in their sound over the old 12v donks, but then it's personal taste with this. I remember my old mans 540i always sounded muffled with it's exhuast and engine noise.

[Rav335uk]

Or another way, your car is immature, always reving it's bollocks off to show off, where as mine is Distinguished and cruising along.

Dezzy, never knew you were into "Handbags"

The 24v engines wound totally different in e30s. At least mine have done. My non vanos m50 i had was loud but sounded gorgeous, you'd actually struggle to have a conversation but i quite liked it that loud in the cabin.

I bought an e36 328i and it was really quiet in the e36... put the engine in an e30 and its a different kettle of fish - again it sounds gorgeous and completely different to what it sounded like in the e36. But its alot quiter inside the cabin - but still barks when you poke it!

[DanThe]

As above, put an E30 system on a 24v and it livens the note up no end

M3 system is a larger bore, also has an X pipe to balance the gas better

[Felix79]

Cheers for explaing , I guess that's going to be some serious wonga for an orginal M3 system off an e30. I would have assumed you would use a modded system. Will the be any issues with you trying to fit the m3 system to a RHD car?

I remeber what your car was like at the pod last year as I was one of the few from the zone that ended up going against you on the strip. I guess the sound of the exhuast gasses comming out of my own arsehole was dulling out the sound of your car as I was going up the strip!

Only if they match my shoes

[spook]

Dezzy and Rav should duel at the pod like proper gentlemen.

On the strip of course

[Rav335uk]

Mr Pompey Fagott , I will be going up the strip this year , have no doubt about it.

[DanThe]

In who's car?

[Rav335uk]

In who's car?

In yours if I can nick the keys

[spook]

Even i fancy my chances against you Rav,

Another zoner wasted



Thats if i dont go to the Revival at Goodwood.
