as previously mentioned this being its first start up/movement, it was running on 4 cylinders due to 2 failing injectors and has no exhaust. there is a vid on here of the car on the dyno when it was running properly a few days after this day.
for those interested this was the cars first start up, it has now been running for 18 months very reliably and also competed in open class of world time attack 2011. it is also now completely stripped and cages
Most E36 owners install a Signature Motoring performance intake kit for around 9HP gain. Cost is a mere $150 or so, best value per HP gain in the E36 line.
Install time if only about 30-45 minutes in most applications. I have one in my 94 325i cabrio.
Crazy nice sound. Most performance guys install a Signature Motoring performance intake kit for around 9HP gain in the E30.
Install time is about 30 min, maybe 45 for two left hands. LOL
lol you all are morons, the m3, the surpa, the rx7, and the skyline are the best cars in the world!!! but when it comes to handling the r34 has the e36 and the e46 beat just because of weight and the awd. idk much about the e92 but guess who is gonna go watch that right now? :D
@adrian29castle GTR Skylines handle better and are the most successful cars in motor sport, they were so good that they shut down events because they won every single race.
@REPOMAN24722 skylines are awd, e36 is rwd, of course they'll (skylines) handle better. However, that doesn't negate the fact that the e36 is a beast of a car.
Performance E36ers can start with a Signature Motoring performance intake kit. It can add up to 11HP for only about $150 and installs in 30-45 minutes - really a must for every E36 owner. It also makes the car HOWL at high end but sounds normal at everyday driving. See my videos!
@ManifestMikey it is a hard conversion, however here at dryden motorsports we do make a bolt in kit which includes the engine mounts, gearbox mounts, reversed sump and modified E36 cross member
@AzaAus yeah ive already spoke with someone from Dyden about importing the conversion kit too england.. but i mean wiring the loom in? and getting everything running properly?
this may be a completely stupid question, but was this swap incredibly difficult? I'm thinking custom mounts at least, custom steering column and what else? My guess is that this is FAR from a drop in job.
@grgmys customer engine mounts, gearbox mount, driveshaft, sump (reversed), radiator mounts, intercooler piping, dump pipe and exhuast, intake. this thing now also has a polished alloy air box and a polished alloy strut brace, both we made ourselfs. far far from a drop in, u need someone who can fabricate. in this thing alot of the brackets are laser cut as well (i'm a draftsman). but yea this thing is now fully tuned running 330wrhp on 12 psi on the stocko turbos. more to come soon!
@grgmys i predict it would b the same amount of work. this car didnt cost heaps but yeah alot of late nights ha. o well we are happy for now. its my house mates car ha just need his bank account to look healthy enough to put a big snail on the side :D i myself own an Evo 6.5 TME pushing 352awhp
sounds like a tractor becuase it just has the front pipes on. its rough cause at that time it was missing half the vacuum lines, and the miss was resolved with new spark plugs. as mentioned this was the first ever movement of the car. we finished all the little bits on it tonight and it is running smooth as fuck idling very nicely at 850rpm. no misses and sounds alot more tame. o well early morning tomorrow as we put it on the trailer to take it to our tuner first thing

@nebulasmaximus the drive has nothing to do with the engine. theoretically the rb26det/t can power a fwd car too.

@Niz406 not at all what? I'm aware of the swap capabilities. You could probably (not for sure) swap awd to the E36 as well.

Did you use the r33 rear drive 5 speed or just not connect the the r34 awd 6 speed to the front wheels?
