Well small update

decided to sell the S38B38 after complete rebuild http://alpina.123.is/photoalbums/251991/

i had bought a 750 with a fellow and me and my buddy split the car,, i got the V12 M70B50 drivetrain etc ,, he parted the car

I wanted the engine to be as good as possible,, i am a fan of V12 ,, Bmw and thats it

so i took the engine apart aaaaaaaand, let the show begin...


new waterpump,,+ 2 set of pulleys +wheel
all gaskets,,VICTOR REINZ or OEM..

All bolts/nuts new.. except crank rod+ camshaft



not like brandnew,,,,,,,,,
Image

no way back.......
Image

new bearings,, main + conrod
Image

Image

just an useless info Conrod bearings are ONLY by BMW and cost a fortune
Image

cylinderhead refurb
Image

Sv.H-Motorsport solution,, made by Max Lumens and imported by FATANDRE idea maker
this is a genius solution if/possible replacement for oem intake gaskets,, you use the oem,, but these are 3mm thick precise cut out of silicone and goes to head and under intake manifold((oem cost the same as a week holiday on a beach))

Image

Image

M40/M70 camshaft timing
Image

Oilpan,, upper
Image

Image

exhaust manifolds were sandblasted and the heat shields........ CHROME :shock: :shock: got lost in Vanity
Image

Image

Most parts were sandblasted and powdercoated,,
Image

lower oilpan and valvecover are black ,,all other parts shadow-silver-chrome ???
Image

Image

Image

Image

M70B50,,,,,,, 500 horsepower look :lol:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


the white color is painted

/// stripes is mine/stolen idea the chrome stripes are mine idea,, this is all foil

The engine will be running on MegaSquirt standalone

Regards
Sveinbjörn Hrafnsson

Da,daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........................................................
well guys

1 x v12 gearbox S6S 560 Getrag on M/S70

Image


ahh, i wanna jump on you
Image

G560 vs G280
N.B G280 is aprox 5cm ((2")) longer vs G260/6 ((M30B35))
Image

N.B.,, G280 is on mounts and oem g280 bracket
Image

bellhousings
Image

OKEY....
Image

SACHS,,, V12,,,,,,,,,, Ãaber Ãaber every BMW clutch i have seen so far
Image

Sachs x 2 most likely the 2 titans in each class of its own
B10 BT clutch is the stiffest 240mm i have tried so far vs other 240mm but is made for DualMass flywheel ((Sachs 765 press is also heavy strong and stiff but made for Singlemass))
and then Sachs 280mm V12 clutch made for BMW,,,,,,, pretty much not the same size
the 240mm clutch bearing is almost a joke compared to the V12 280mm :

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


similair as G420

Image





Image

the shifting arm and selector rod may have to be shortened more or put more lenght in,, i dont know,, the gearbox came out of an UK E30 V12 conversion that was not finished

Well small update,,,

Image

2 x 6 cyl coilpack

Image

8.5mm MSD

Image

I have to get a smaller pulley wheel ,, or a bearing

Image

and put another pulley/wheel here were the 8mm bolt is,, to get as much touch/grip on the crankwheel

i had the water pulley remade so i can run 1 belt instead of 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

lots of oil lines.....

a) 1 ,,main feed from pump to Accumulator.. pressure
b) 1 from accumulator to mastercylinder feed,, pressure
c) 1 from accumulator to steering box,, feed,, pressure
d) 1 from accumulator to oil carrier,, reverse
e) 1 from mastercylinder to oil carrier .. reverse
f) 1 from oil carrier to pump,, reverse,, big one
g) 1 from oil carrier to steering box,, reverse


got it ???????

all lines are high pressure and covered with stainless steel sleeve



the oil lubrication carrier,, i had to make new lines from flex steel hose,,

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Image

Image

3 fuel lines 2 in 1 and 1 reverse

-----------------------------------------------------------

Image

Image

Image

i had to modifie the gear stick,, so it would fit correct
