Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / ASA supercharger

« on: August 06, 2011, 09:27:33 PM »

So i can get an ASA supercharger kit for very little money complete, the catch is that it is for an e36 325. Now i am sure i can fit everything no problem but my question is what about software. What will i need to do with my current ecu which is chipped now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Electrical / e36 no start

am geting fuel for sure so no gas smell, and the ignition switch is new. I hot wired the car and it started before replacing the ignition switch. I replaced it and the car started no problem. I drove it for about half an hour and then it wouldn't start after then it started and the same the next day. Got a boost and it fired up, and now it is dead again the battery is fully charged and i am getting 14 v when i try and start, the relays click also when i turn the ignition, i am going to pull all the intake off again ( for the hundredth time) and check my starter wiring as well.

also to add the alternator is used from an 88,000 km car, but a bad alternator would not cause the car to not start would it?

For Sale / FS: S50 Pistons and Rings

« on: May 07, 2011, 10:34:18 AM »

Recipe for S50 pistons: Bore block to 86mm, get M44 2.04mm HG, Deck the piston 2.65mm, cut valve reliefs into pistons, get a set of 138mm connecting rods, attach to a M47 crank and away you go! A perfect set up. Minor machining on the crank.

Then you have to option of lightening valve train parts and porting the head for power.

A major write up coming soon....
