Hi

What have you done to it?
How did it go?

Cheers Rohan

It has the diesel crank, e36 throttle bodies, 86mm pistons and solid lifters

Valves, ecu?

Photos of engine bay please.

That sounds the business though, did you get it dyno tuned?

Nice run! What gearing are you running?

[jerseytim]

standard valves and dta s40 ecu, i don't know how to post pictures of the engine bay, https://youtu.be/4M7YZYHxtUA (this clip shows the engine bay but it was filmed early in the morning and had just been started so was still on cold start) its still on its dyno map as I'm looking into going 2500cc and it is expensive getting someone over to make a proper map, it has a 4.1 diff and the standard compact ti gearbox which seems to be holding up well as i gave it lots of abuse when i ran a 2.8 engine. it weighs 1115kg which is way too much

Hi

Nice ti, how are you going to get to 2500cc, that would be a huge stroke hartge did a 2.3-2.4 depending on bore. I didn't think ti's weigh that much.

Cheers for the video

they want to get a crank made, use a block spacer for the correct crank/stroke ratio and fit liners. The guy there knows his stuff and rates the m42 as a very good base to start from
