Hey gizmo.
Love the build...If I ever take a trip to Sud Afrika I'd have to see the 2.0 at work. | | | | | 08-24-2006, 03:47 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Europe Posts: 136 |
giz, do you have some torque numbers?
thank you | | | | | 08-25-2006, 03:07 PM | #11 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: South Florida Posts: 36 |
Gizmo, it looks like something right out of the BTCC man. Really cool. Could you post the link to bfc so I could see all the details of your build. I know how your car handles cuz I have the same mods on my car but how does that M42 run compared to a M50 powered E36. I'm relly interested in that motor bulid. Which M3 pistons did you use. My only question now is where the heck do I get an M47 crank from here in the US anyone know. __________________

Euro S50B30 pistons were used. She's quicker/makes more power than a stock 328i.
Sorry, don't have any torque numbers... | | | | | |
