Author Topic: M42 Project Liquidation (Read 6885 times)

I'm never going to get around to this. I have too many projects as it is, this has all got to go.

If you need it, I probably have it.

Highlights:

Rebuilt cylinder head (sold)

Full Timing Set (sold) Brand new guides, pump, chain etc.

Cometic MLS Headgasket (sold)

Raceware Head Stud Kit ($125) Only opened to mock up head on block, never torqued:

Raceware main bearing stud kit ($125) Never opened, I know it says 320i, it's the same for either motor (M42 or M10).

I also have a spare block ($100):

Custom Stuff:
Beginnings of a custom intake manifold ($250). Uses standard size tubing. Bolts to factory mid manifold as shown. Requires tig welding and fab of top box:

Supercharger from c230 kompressor (early model) ($150):

More photos of stuff including part numbers and more detail shots below. The seal sets are NOT complete. I stole some stuff from them. Make me an offer, or a request if you need something specific. I took apart a full M42 and stored all the parts. I may have used some of the stuff on the M42 in my E21, but I can look through anything for you all.:

Good luck with the sale. That's quite the selection of parts. Wrong coast for me as well.

Is that a Bavaria?

Yup, not everyone's cup of tea though:

Wow, you're not kidding about slamming. Nicely kept up though. The e3 Bav is one of my favorite BMWs.

Looks like lots of engine parts. Good luck!

Sadly no, I have an M42 in my E21, not an E30 so there isn't any cruise control stuff.

That head is very tempting, let me see if any of the 4 I currently have will keep compression and coolant in their proper areas.

Your bavaria is awesome.

updated head and headgasket sold

interested in the gasket if still available

Where are you located? would the supercharger work with the M42 motor? How much for the head and head hardware?

the head, headgasket, and AFM are sold.

Sale pending on air box and misc vac and coolant lines.

I'm in Mill Creek Wa.

I bought the SC because I had seen an install with that charger make 200hp and it was a mild build. As stated above the head and headgasket are sold, but the hardware is still available.

Do you have a link to the thread with this supercharger mild build?

Appletree did his before he moved to the rotrex charger.

The E30Zone now requires membership to read.

This is an M45 eaton with different ports than the one he used. Here is a video of the M45 I have mounted in an M40.

It won't support 300hp, but it's a decent sized supercharger for a 1.8l engine.
