Winter Project- IS throttle bodys

[maxfield]

Your dad might have the P8 Pro version tho

Not sure. here's a pic of it:



Obviously it's now been moved, bunch of monkeys

[BadDave]

Looks like it's the E48EXP
Same as mine

[gareth]

max, is that the onset of rust on the o/s chassis leg?

is the lump out at present then? upgrade or breakages?

[maxfield]

Did he get ripped off then? Oh well that company ruined the car!

No this was last year when the car got rebuilt. And the engine was out for upgrades...

[gareth]

ahaa, i see.

monkeys indeed dude, why pull the engine loom of the engine while it's in the car... that's what the obvious bloody great big engine/car loom plug is for!!!

so, going to see if you can get your 318i to keep up with your dads wagon are you? would be well funny! stiripped out 2.0 M10 turbo sleeper should do it

[maxfield]

Maybe in a couple of years I'll be able to keep up on the straights, hopefully next year I'll be able to keep up on the bends on track, we will see!

M10 turbo, that's the engine I do fancy putting in it when I've got everything else out the way.

[Kedge]

Glad i've seen this, so they are comong on well then?

I'll be keeping my eye on these, remember to let me know if you do decide to sell these

p.s. mines up and running with the ally flywheel, well worth the wait

[appletree]

tell me more about this flywheel! Vast imporvement??

Dont worry mate i wount forget!!

[Kedge]

Low down in the revs the car has been transformed. It's no longer sluggish while you wait for the revs to kick in. Throttle response is near enough instant and and the engine breaking is far far stronger.

You can notice the difference in all gears and it is like Kos described it, you do feel like you are in a lower gear than you are.

I think a few of us should get some iS's together sometime as there's more and more of them about on the zone now!

[agreen]

an is meet i like the sound of that

[appletree]

Ya ad be up for that sometime!

[Karan]

yeh iSs kick ass! especially red ones!

[chicken]

and black ones!

Bit of Progress today, made the spacers to make the throttle bodies line up with the adaptor plate, 11mm if anyones intreted.

A few pics, gonna make the plates to extend the balance plate bit so they can all be individualy balanced.






I also drilled out the holes were the studding goes through the bodies from 5.5mm to 6.2mm so that i could use S/S M6 studding

[appletree]

Been having another go at these as a little on the side project and have finaly got them to a nearly usable state

Firstly i had to extend the fuel rail as it was not long enough due to the bodies being spaced out so as with the bodies i had to remachine some joiners 11mm longer than they were.





Secondly was to make the connection for the fuel to come in to the rail which hopefully Alex will ally weld to the rail for me as i have no ally welding ability






Lastly i've made the little tabs to extend the linkages and adjusted them the best i can with out them being on the car

[Kedge]

Ohhhh FFS!!! Had hand my mind made up car wise and you've just gone and reminded me about these

Good to see your getting there with them.

[appletree]

Yes mate once the weldings done it just needs some rubber boots to joint it all togeather and a a throttle cable making up and then a mount for a remote FPR

Then i might start on a carbon plenum

[kabeer]

IIRC the K4 - current K7 are all twin sets(like a weber 40/45 dcoe)
The 600cc ones are 38mm dia
The 750cc ones are 40mm dia iirc
The 1000cc ones are 44 mm diaa
and i think the busa ones are 45mm dia
??

Hi Dave,

which TB suitable for an M30 block ?

[Phill172]

that will sound fucking rude!

[jaistanley]

That adaptor plate is simply stunning.... That's some serious cnc work! It'd almost seem a shame to have your head re-worked and have to open them out at all!

Liking this new project, very home-brew but looks really well done.

[kabeer]

ok

[kabeer]

Then i might start on a carbon plenum

Carbon Pleum ??? where to get ??

link for Carbon plenum : http://www.reverie.ltd.uk
they have CF plenum for both for 4 cyl and 6 cyl,(Silverstone £300, Interlagos £370, Hockenim £430 etc.. you'll need to modify to backplate and mounting face area,

cheers
