m42-----S38-----2JZ big single

[Karan]

ure gonna have to bodge that up quite a bit methinks

cheers karan i'm good at bodging stuff

it's gonna sound good though i hope. not expecting much more power as the rest's stock apart from filter and zaust

yeh 6 branch would sound awesome on an m30 cos they sound tasty on m20s as it is

[Toby_Unna]

if it don't fit i'll just buy a lhd shell instead and put everything on that!

i'd actually like a LHD, it would mean i could turbo it relatively easily in the future. if i bashed mine then that't what i'd get, a lhd shell

[Simon13]

that manifold is well spunky looks just like andy335's?!

[Karan]

demlot that h35 had an e28 m5 lump which has a tiny plenum compared to an e34 m5 lump

[Toby_Unna]

ah he meant h thirty 5

that makes more sense i was wondering what a h25 had to do with it! sorry demlot understand now

[Karan]

yeh this dude had a real h35-24 at aces cafe

Pete also brought along a customers e34 m5 conversion tourer.. a car that ive seen before... but the conversion standards were interesting

[Toby_Unna]

serious sh1t!

better come next time! except looks like i might get a bit outclassed

[Andy335Touring]

Looking good dude !!!

I'd go for the smaller servo and leave the plenum alone,fit poly engine mounts from Ireland Engineering in the US and you should be laughing.

The only time mine catches now is if the engine doesn't catch properly on start up and if i piss about spinning my wheels.

I want to get the Golf GTI servo and use the E28 M535 off set engine mounts on mine to move the engine slightly to the passenger side so i've got more clearance between the down pipe and the steering coupling,the only problem is that the mounts are thicker than the M20 ones.

I don't think the standard M20 mounts are strong enough.

[Karan]

yeh im running stock m20 mounts..... they do appear softer and i know the e28 m5 ones are a hardser rubber. but yeh they do raise the lump quite a bit!

ill get the poly mounts then i reckon if the engine does swing arounf


gold servo it is then

[Andy335Touring]

Some good typos there mate

[Karan]

LOL

im gonna get a 'gold' servo apparently

ive been drinking a lot of coffee to revise i think that would explain the frantic typing

[Demlotcrew]

I would hate to say i told you so!

But i will! SO Listen to me, i seen both cars and the H35 had a sponge between the inlet and booster, it was cut and a plate welded in just like pacers touring. An inch is only 2.5cm and thats not allot when you look at the movement of the engine.

[Toby_Unna]

coffee rocks

sorry i couldn't stick around the other night andy, would have been good to have a chat!

been painting my wheels today will get some pics and a poll up later on, if it stops raining so i can wash it

still not replaced that rubber donut yet i should know better by now, it's blatantly going to come to pieces when i go out in it later

ok i'll put a golf one on which is a bit smaller and grind that down a bit

id hate to hear YOU telling me 'i told you so'!!! LOL

in the excitement i forgot to look at the brakes on the a-trim tourer,,,

also i aint cutting the plenum...... dont wanna lose the effects of the intake resonance flap - ooo-eeer missus

[Demlotcrew]

it was only cut to the fold. Cant explain it. But the flap was not affected.

yeh i know how u mean actually

its a bit silly though when i can just whack a golf servo in

[Andy335Touring]

bump

[Karan]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrm..... unforeseen circumstances mean not much happened this summer.... and im back at uni now.... engine is in and aligned though...just little things to do now...

[Eddy]

So Karan U rollin yet?

[Kedge]

Good question there Eddy was just wondering about this the other day!

Hows it looking Karan?

[Karan]

just needs a rad, manifold and exhaust made for it.... should be done in summer

[jaistanley]

I was gonna ask the same thing. Sent you a text after new yearsasking how it was..

What brakes are you going for under the 15"s?

I got some for the same reason as you - street sleeper look - but worry about getting big enough brakes under them. The 280's I have are OK but not good enough I fear. Considering 5 series 302mm*28mm disks and calipers (or just caliper carriers if this is possible) with fast road disks and pads.

Also: Do you still have the M5 disks? I beleive they are 315mm*28mm which is the same as an e36 M3 but have a lower hat to disk offset (which is what I need measuring). The reason I ask is that I have some M Roadster calipers that bolt to my hubs but require the inner E36 to E30 M3 spacer adapters to use the M3 disks. I'm wondering if I can fit these calipers and the disks from an M5. Obviously I'd need bigger wheels (bummer) but I'd like to know my options with the stuff I already have.

Many thanks dude and good luck finishing this project!
Hopefully see you Monday at ACE.
Jai

[Karan]

i have recently acquired 16in hartge m3 wheels... and i have e34 m5 setup so i may eventually put those on
