hey, thanks for turning us on to the M47 crank... your build was truly inspiring!! I used the crank and got really great results... well, at least according my my sizeable butt dyno...
Only a pleasure, glad I have been able to help out the M42 community to give those i6 boys a run for their money...

I believe in sharing info which tuning shops try keep from us. That way you can build your own motors, learning and modding along the way. Plus the money you're saving in labour costs is being put into your motor, not someone's pocket.

sounds like a meet!  LOL.

This site is one of the best I have been on.  If you are remotely interested in your car this is were you should be.  I too have experienced sites where "flaming" is the norm and car maintence a no-no!

My sincere appreciation and thanks to the founders, admin and all the members for keeping this place focused on the car.:)

Hey and welcome to the club.  I originally started up a little M42 club in a BF.c E30 section thread because some guys with E36's started one, but said no older/non-e36 M42's.  In some respects I never expected it to turn out into much, but after a week or so I saw how many people were interested.  A couple guys on here offered to set up the vBulletin forum so the club could have a real home, and well, here we are.  This has turned out better than I (or probably any M42 enthusiast) could have hoped!

You have a neat looking build going on there.  I will definitely be watching to see how it goes.  As far as the MAF dealy, I am working on finishing up version 2.0 of it, using a MUCH better fitting sensor.  Once my replacement wide-band O2 sensor arrives I can actually try to target the one trouble spot I am stuck with.  Heck, it might just be a trouble spot because the WBO2 sensor crapped out & is throwing off the motronic.

Anyway welcome...I'll join the drinking when I get home from work today.

Oh and check out the M42 COP conversion thread.  It is nice to rid yourself of the plug wires, cleans up the engine bay and provides negligible amounts of performance gain lol.  Actually it does make the car run a lot better, but chances are that's because the plug wires in most cars are worn out...but this is cheaper than new wires.

how long is this forum been here??
The domain has been around for 1year, same as the club, but the forum is a little newer, probably 9 months.

you guys should advertise on bimmerforums.com get a huge m42 community in here, looks like you have good info!!
We have no budget and I doubt they woul appreciate a competitor, even though we really are not one.

We do quite well, and experience has show slow steady growth leads to a strong long lasting website. We are doing quite well.

looks like a great build!  That should make nice power.  Who did the headwork?  Do you have the flow specs?  A before/after flow analysis would be useful.

Yes, great stuff here... :D

@nobrakese36: sorry but no ITBs from e36 for now... if I can find a set I'll let you know.

these are from s14 (46mm):
http://cgi.ebay.de/Einzeldrossel-mit-Duesenstock-BMW-M3-E30-2-0Ltr-TOP_W0QQitemZ270026463561QQihZ017QQcategoryZ36474QQssPageNameZWD4VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


I've seen a lot of talk about fitting the S14 throttle bodies on the M42. But i'm pretty sure this is not possible, as the cylinderspacing is completely different. I think on the M4x engines the spacing is 91mm. I don't remember it on the S14 but the 2.5L version has a bore of 95mm this is bigger than the spacing on the M4x.  

I think you would be better off using the Euro S50 M3 throttle bodies, I had a set of those that i wanted to adapt to the M42 engine a while ago. And they have the exact same cylinder spacing, the port size and shape is pretty much the same too.   But i got my self some purpose built Dbilas instead. As i don't have access to cheap machining services.

Tim used S50 throttle bodies. Btw, I'm still waiting on a video of that car!
