hey everybody....
i am from switzerland i am new in this forum, so my english is not perfect at all. i started with my project 4 months ago. so i think it could possibly be interesting to open a new thread and show you out there how me make cars flying here in switzerland. happy new year to everybody.
ps: pictures and a detailed description of the project comming soon
-
hmm... how can i post pictures... ... ...
-
the way i do it is: open up an account on photobucket.com then upload pictures over there and post the IMG links here
-
data of the engine:
balanced original crank
machined original flywheel (minus 2.5kg)
specially made m-gmbh rods
specially made m-gmbh pistons (mahle and then machined to spec.)
newly honed and planned block
new bearings and new sealings
intake and outtake grinded out
newly machined valve seats
new an cutted valve guides
new cams
lightened and grinded intake
underdrive alloy pulleys
aluminum and titan parts, screw and stuff wherever i can find a few gramms
because 1000 x 1g is 1kg
and a lot more....
goal: 8000revs, 190ps, minus 6kg(engine)
the idea is to build an engine with original parts, except pistons, rods and cams and an original displacement of 1,8 litres. i want to increase the performance of the car with lightening and balancing the engine AND lightening the car... i want to go under 1000kg.. i hope to 950kg
-
data of the car:
alpinweiss color
bbs rs 17"
full rollcage "wiechers" painted alpinweiss
sparco steering wheels, seats and belts
shortshifter Z3 or maybe B&M or custom made
aluminum front wishbone m3
m3 diff
Tarox front brakesystem with ABS
M3 rear brakes
KW Variant 2 coilover
powerflex bushings
reinforced rear trailing arms
e46 dashboard
NO power steering
NO A/C
NO radio
NO interieur
NO sparewheel
NO tools
NO nothing unnecessary
-
and of course every part is either powdercoated or painted... i dont wanna see any rust on my car..

You can fit gearbox from E36 M42/M40 engine, you will get good ratios with 3,7-3,9 final drive ratio.

yes,thats clear that the e36 318is gearbox will fit. it is the same engine block!! whats about e46?
-
Do you mean 6 speed?

for example..

for example..
You will nead custom made driveshaft, because gearbox will be longer...
One guy here made that swap..
-
i can make everything on my own... so to cut a driveshaft will not be a problem! i cant find anything in this forum...
what did he fit to the engine? a e46 gearbox??

as I remember yes, it was E46 gearbox...

i am sorry.. i wanted to say weightened.. now both have the same weight. it is a step more to the superior performance of the car.
balancing them doesnt make a lot of sense..

i am reading the s42 replica thread from gizmo, which link you sent to me..!!it is a joke.. this engine doesnt even look like an s42... not at all. but whatever

do anyone know tarox and have experience(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg19/swiss318is/b530649979e0f312590.jpg)
Tarox is a italian company, they sell a lot, they are good brakes, but a very little inferiors to the same type of brembo..., but as you power will be not huge(not 500hp:D), go with them if you have a good deal!
-
the main problem is, that in switzerland you need for nearly every part you change on the car a special certification and tarox has this certifications, so it is the only brake i can change without problems, i need only the ABS. the kit costs about 3300.-$ only the front!!! and bevor i spend a cent on this brakesystem, i want to here if people have self made experience with it
-
nuvolarossa:the car will only have around 180-190 hp with a very low wheight. but you know the swiss mountains there it goes up with thousands of corners, but it goes down to. so i need a big brake..
-
you need TUV certificate, right? If so check MOV'IT brakes, they are Tuv approved, a lot of people use them even in USA, for the e30 they made 332x32mm front, and they will cost less than tarox

http://www.bmw-m.net/Reviews/movit.htm
-
TÜV is useless in switzerland!!!!!! they dont accept this certification!!you have to make a special SWISS-CERTIFICATION. i know it is stupid, but thats the way it is here TAROX is the only one who has this special specification
-
yes.. the s42... i got one near my house... ooo ooo some very interesting things on it..
Show us some pics of the s42! Please...(http://www.m42club.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

sheepdog: i saw the attachement button, but it doesnt work.. it says download failed!
Try uploading a smaller picture.
-
hey 318kid... there is a thread called "s42" in this forum.. there i will start post some picture of the s42 engine!! i start crying evertime when i see this engine...
sheepdog: i tried to upload small pictures, but it didnt work. but i think that the solution with photobucket is not bad.
-
Do you need special certification if you are replacing parts with parts that came from another bmw model?
If not, you can try fit the e36 m3 brakes onto your car and use the 4-pot Brembo calipers from the 840ci. They are a direct bolt on for the e36 m3 but might not be for the e30.
I will be converting my 318is to this setup very soon.
TAROX brakes are extremely well built but they also have an extremely high price tag.
For the gearbox, on the e36 at least, the e36 m3 6-speed gearbox will fit but you have to use the m3s clutch.
For the driveshafts, on the e36 the driveshaft is in two pieces, The front and the Back.
The front comes in two different types, 5-speed and 6-speed.
The rear comes in two different types, small case diff. and medium case differential.
(there are other types for the evo and automatics but theyre not relavent at the moment)
So in your case, if the e30 is the same, you should use the 6-speed front driveshaft and the rear could be either depending on what diff. you have.
Please post as many pictures as possible of the s42 and of your car.
The S42 is incredible

this thread is cool
i have a 1992 318 and i am planning on selling bc it has no power to pass cars and i am looking to get a 325is
my car has 66,000 miles and the 325is i am looking at has 120,000 miles
is this a bad idea
-
In my opinion id say that is a bad idea, but you know what they say about opinions.
Your 318, first of all, is a hell of allot lighter than a 6 cylinder 325, and as we all know, there is allot more to cars than straight line speed. Lighter weight improves cornering, braking and acceleration, and with a decent amount of work, your 318 could be out there playing with the 6 cylinder boys on the straights aswell.
Can i ask what will you be paying for the change from the 318 to the 325?
Eg: the price of the new car minus the price you will get for the old car.
If you take this money and invest it in performance modifications to your 318, you will end up with a far superior car.
I would suggest suspension and brakes first, then move onto engine work.
if it is at all possible to convert the 318i to run on carbs then it would be fantastic.
imagine a 318 on dual weber carbs, a ported head and a lairy cam, sideways through a country road......that is a much better idea than a bog standard 325.
You dont want to hijack swiss 318is's thread, so why not start a seperate thead to discuss your ideas?
Good luck with your car, and i hope you make the right decision.
Anyway, back to the Swiss maddness:D:D:D
-
try http://www.massivebrakes.com for brakes. I highly recommend them. They've been tried and tested by racers.
-
teamgtnfx01: if you read my thread then you know that i am lowering the weight on every single bolt...and putting in some extra 40-50hp!i could only change the 318is for a 325, then i have 170hp, but thats not the point of the whole history..! i know that out there are a lot of people they only want to have as much hp as possible, putting in M3, M5 engines even 850 12 cylinders, compressors, turbos, nos, making a 2liter out of 1.8liter and stuff like that. i am not saying thats not cool or stupid, everybody has his own way to get happy and sometimes it is really impressing! but in my eyes.. performing a car is to do a lot of detail working and it takes a lot of time, money, nerves and beer. perhaps you will ask me... why do you remove the sparetire? why do you weight all of the 8 wheelnuts and grind them to the same weight? why are you polishing the interieur of the timingchain case? why do cut out every unecessary cables out? why do you remove the carpet? and so long!! look only at one of this point and then you think its for nothing... i agree!!! but put all this points together and then you will see and feel the whole thing!!
a 318is e30 with 900kg and 180hp has a weight/power ratio of 5 and a M3 e36 with stock engine 321hp and 1460kg has a ratio of 4,5. change the gearbox, gears, diff whatever and then you have rocket!!
-
today for example i started to grind, an cut off every unnecessary corner out of the intakemanifold and the throttle housing. 500+gramms at the end. this engines are so heavy and build for the eternity, incredible! you can drive around 300000km and then fly to the moon.
and no... i dont have a picture.. comming soon
-
RouteZeroDesign: thanks for the infos... i just runned out of the house to the junkyard!!
i thing i will take the tarox... then the car will only stand on the front wheels when i am braking :-)
-
The TAROX will stop you very well but $3300 for just the fronts is crazy
You could build an entire braking system for your car for allot less than that and have incredible braking performance.
If it were my car i would do the following
Fit larger e30 m3 discs front and rear
Fit the m3's master cylinder
Fit the 4 pot brembos from the 840ci on the front
Get custom brackets machined to mount the calipers
Fit twin pot rear calipers
Get custom brackets machined to mount them
Replace all the copper brake lines with new items
Fit braided brake hoses
Invest in seperate pads for track and road
That is only what i would do, and everyone has a different view of what should be done to cars, especially when it their own.
good luck with the project, make sure to post lots of pictures
-
i agree...!!it sounds very well..BUT!! the custom made brackets are the problem! EVERY part who has a influence on power, sound, noise, pollution, etc etc. must be tested!so the want a test that this custom brackets are good enough (i know..stupid) if i could fit the 4pot brembos WITHOUT a selfmade bracket.. they wouldnt see it!no problem!yes, you have to show the car and an expert will have a look and make a ride!! if he has a bad day..!!good luck!!
another problem... i cant change from 4 to 5 bolts! so if anybody knows a DIRECT-BOLT-ON-WITHOUT-SELFMADE-PARTS-REAR-BRAKE-WITH-A-4-BOLT-DISC...let me hear
-
they wouldnt see it!no problem!yes, you have to show the car and an expert will have a look and make a ride!! if he has a bad day..!!good luck!!
thats a total bummer. especially since the brakes are more of a safety upgrade than a compromising and dangerous one.
-
here in Italy is easier! all that is not provided and certified from BMW for that model is illegal (brembo bigger brakes too :) )...
are the men that test the car able to know if car have 4 or 5 bolt from factory? I would do this http://lukasmotors.com/m_roadster_5_lug_swap.htm with e36 m3 brakes, so they are BMW stamped on calipers without brakets, and I'd put some stock BMW rims just to make it look as stock as possible... and then try to tell them that is a special version imported from another country ;)
-
here in switzerland you can see the old bmw's e30 like sand on the beach!!! so they have a lot of experience with this cars and yes they know what is stock and what not!! so, i cant go there and say "yes, in 1990 they built this car with a 325mm disc in the front!!" and i cant say it is imported... it is in the cars paper written that is not!
but i have found the tarox brakes for "only" 2200$ !! for a swiss boy thats the solution with no problems...

Just put on Z3 or M3 brakes.
With some good pads, they should be plenty and you can get them re drilled to your old bolt pattern.

m3 brakes dont fit directly to the stock 318is e30 front spring strut! i have some here in front of me!and its not allowed to use "selfmade" adapters in our beloved country

Change the strut housing.

do you know kw-suspensions from germany? i have to send in my ORIGINAL front spring struts and then i receive the adjustable coilovers in exchange with mounted original lower part of the front spring strut! and WITH the certificate that it is tested by the goverment. it is a must here in switzerland! without that i cant use it on the street. if i have an accident... the insurance will not pay a cent if i have illegal stuff on the car!!

You are expecting entirely too much from the industry.
You cannot always have your cake and eat it too.
I know people have swapped out the M3 and Z3 struts into the car to upgrade the brakes though.
At any rate a bit of searching you will find there are more and cheaper brake upgrades out there than Tarox.
http://www.autowerks.com/xcart/customer/product.php?productid=23032&cat=252&page=1
Also, I know you think you need better brakes on the car, but have you even considered some nice semi-race pads, good fluid and maybe some stainless lines instead. We see a lot of people coming on here and other Bimmer boards claiming the brakes suck and want big brakes, but the truth is, the brake system they have just needs an overhaul. The brakes on these cars have won awards for how good they are.
-
if this f****** certification would not be necessary here in switzerland then i would do an update like you all explained to me!
-
Also, I still do not understand why you cannot have the M3 or Z3 struts modded for coil overs instead of the 318 ones. If you have not had them done yet, what is the problem. Is there a reason you can do the 318 struts and not the m3/z3?
At any rate, check into vintage racing where they are not allowed big brake changes and see what those guys are doing with stock brakes. Some ducting, rebuild, better pads, cooling and lines do some amazing things for braking. Between that, and proper downshifting, your brakes should be plenty.
-
again :-) the adjustable coils from kw are specially made for the 318is e30 with stock coils!they NEED the ORIGINAL struts!!only this way i receive my certification!i cant send them a M3 or a Z3 strut!i will not fit the new adjustable coils!!in the factory they remove the "feets" of the original struts and put them on the new struts!!
-
for a real racecar i agree with you and i would change it for the M3 or the Z3!but thats not possible on swiss-streets!!i know its a bit of stupid..!

sounds like you should move
jk, but really
just kidding

cool site! right now i am deleting every single gramm on the intake and the throttle..!i will post pics as soon as i finish..
i am planning to reduce more then 10kg only on the engine.. i hate my "dremel-tools" at the moment. i spend more time with it and grinding, then with my girlfriend :-(
how was the formula? 10kg = 1ps ? or 6kg = 1ps ? i am not sure, there are a lot of different meanings in the net..

has anybody anodized parts of the engine? such as timing chain cover or intake manifold? does it look good? hows the quality?

No you'll need machined surfaces for anodization. Otherwise the'll just turn black/greyish, not looking very good at all.

If they are properly cleaned you should be able to anodize them.
-
I'm not sure if cleaning is the problem. I've linked some pics of how it looks. A little bit strange though that the gasket surface didn't turn out better than it did...
It's not my parts so I don't know if they where cleaned properly or not.

Certain types of aluminum anodize differently, which is probably why the welds look different on the canister. Some types just do not take anodizing well.
I doubt they used high end aluminum for the pan.

Sali from Finland!
i feel your pain. A friend of mine in Züerich would install bigger Brembos under his Porsche 944 Turbo, but is not able to make it because those calipers need to have adapters, which are not legal in Switzerland. Swiss usually earn 4 times more than average EU-country citizen, so i suppose $3000 for brakes won't be a problem for you ;)
Here's what i have under my Porsche 944 Turbo. For my E30 i allready have Porsche 944 Turbo S calipers, which fits nicely under original 15" wheels. I am CAD drawing adapters for that application.
Viele Grüsse,
Olli

-
last evolution step!!called m42s18 instead of m42b18
-
my new coilovers.... not mine but they will be almost the same...[/IMG]
What is the price for these?
-
freaking expensive... sth around 2400.-$ and you have to send in your original coils, if not it cost 700$ more.. makes 3100.-$ for the coilovers!prices are not exactly to the centim..
-
thats the price in the shops for switzerland!germany is not so expensive..
-
i found an interesting detail on my spare car.. no heater plate..
(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg19/swiss318is/18042008001.jpg)
-
that is interesting, its even got shorter studs on the intake, meaning that it always had no heater plate.
-
yes, it looks like it was always like that.. perhaps a car without the "winter-package"?! i have to check the chassis nr. by my local bmw dealer..

I've found the same on my spare IS. You will find a small and round heater plate under the throttle body. Much easier to work on then on the larger studs!

ok..... pics of my cylinderhead, fully ported and newly machined valveseats.. a s42-light!:D
the head is ported by hand, so no machines are used.. what works on the "tic-tac"M3 group-n from 1991 will also work for my car.. :)
