General Topics / skid plate pics or designs?

« on: May 07, 2008, 02:31:33 PM »

I was also wondering if it were possible to get L & R motor mounts (or motor mount spacers) that would lift the engine up say another .5" or 1" max, which would also lift the oil pan higher from it's normal position.  Looking at the upper intake and the current hood clearence, it seems this may be a possible alternative solution as well.  I think anything more then .5" or 1" would be critical to the rest of the driveline (driveshaft angles & rear pinion angles).

What does anyone else think of this possibility?

I have another idea in mind too, which would be a solution - however, I would need someone w/ cad capability and the ability to actually design my idea... LOL

You would need to do something about the fan hitting the fan shroud.  You'd be bending the exhaust pretty decently too, not to mention twisting the guibo/driveshaft.  Don't forget the fuel lines and all that other stuff too, it's not that simple.

Thanks for the link.  I've seen that thread, but was looking for something with an OEM fit and finish if possible.

General Topics / 318ti electric fan retrofit?

« on: April 18, 2008, 05:08:48 PM »

I've done a search, but nothing comes up... I noticed the 318ti (M44 only) uses an electric radiator fan in place of the one driven off the serpentine belt.  Is there any info on retrofitting this to our M42 motors?
