      Tell me where he would be able to hit such a speed in England? He'd probably have to test it at the old Le Mans circuit to hit it.

      precisely why he went with a TT LS...........idiots dont know how much blowing an engine can cost or a diff....this guy has obviously been around the block enough to know LS setup build around it lmao. S38 is a bit high comp to be pushing large boost. Its a fine engine as is Id much rather have a well built/tuned like a glove NA stroker vs a car with big boost you can only use it on the straights anyways....as a driver you wouldnt learn much about driving fast with a car like that if you were an amateur.....hes also building it as a drag car. Nice thing is that with tunes to gear and boost delivery he can use it at a strip or a track.

      50/50 weight distribution when it was stock, now it has a big V8 with lots of turbo plumbing in the front means there's probably not a lot of weight over the back wheels, add no electronic aids at all and a fairly aggressive clutch and it's probably not very easy to launch fast at all.
      This isn't a drag car built to launch as fast as possible but useless around a corner.

    He says "Most of my friends think I'm mental, but you only live once, so why not?"
    This car reminds me of a great phrase 'magnificent obsession'. This is how you get extraordinary things done.
    You don't get where you want to be by living a 'balanced' life. If you have dreams, aspirations, goals; you must develop a magnificent obsession.
    This is quite a different thing than 'being mental (crazy)'.
    Possessing a magnificent obsession means that there is a method (a purpose/driving force/inspiration/vision) that only you can see, which resides behind the madness, which is all that others see.

    Nice car... Very, very nice in fact. I had 3 E30 back in the day, a 316i, a 318iS and then an M50 powered 325i. I very much doubt even this monster could hit 200mph as the E30 aerodynamics are laughable, I believe anything beyond about 150mph needs considerations towards the car's CD as much as it's power. Looks like the steering is still the rubbish 4 turns lock to lock and possibly the brakes are still bias towards LHD with the bar across the bulkhead, I would have assumed the latter would be easily solved... Purists might argue there are plenty of BMW V8 and even V12 that might fit in the E30 bay, but I would hazard a guess that the American lump gives more space for turbos and is easier to modify to ultra high BHP figures.

  • @ralfszemzars1885
    @ralfszemzars1885 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    There is a reason, why BMW engines won a lot of the "Engine of the year" awards. They are well engineered and designed for usage on daily basis. Now, to everyone yelling, that BMW's suck etc., first off - You can never rate a car, if you are not the one getting it in showroom. You can never determine how it has been used and abused, and abviously, driven crap is driven crap. Almost all German engines are very complicated, and the younger the cars get, the more complicated they become. Tri-Turbo Inline 6. Trying to DIY yourself?
    What I wanted to say with this, about no BMW V8 in the car, yes, Murrican engines are the best bang for buck. You can go OEM road, but it requires a lot deeper pockets than taking something commonly and widely avaivable with such an aftermarket support. For example - Dinan, a company that tunes BMW's. Their services are expensive, like, really expensive, cause they took the time to study the engineering of the cars and engines, and they can use this for their own good - there's little to none companies that provide such an extensive modifications list. There's Alpina and G-Power, but they have a little different background with BMW themselves.

    The build is ruined by the heavy chevy v8. Should have used a BMW engine - an M60 or M62B44 would have kept it a BMW - right now it's a chevy in E30 clothes. Do not like.
    Seriously - I've had a M60B44 in my e30 - it's not that hard to do - and I'm willing to bet a BMW V8 is somewhat cheaper in europe / GB than a chevy engine. The BMW engine is also lighter and has a better HP/liter ratio in N/A form witch would have translated in it's boosted form. Oh and it gets better mileage.

      whoa, that's a lot of $$$. I'm from Romania and here a chevy small block will set you back at least 5000 euro, while an early BMW v8 like the M60 or M62 is about 500 euro. As a matter of fact, I'm staring at a local ad witch parts out a totaled E60 M5, and the seller is asking 9000 lei for the engine and gearbox - that's roughly 2000 euro for an S85B50 V10 (cheap for even these parts). Thinking of swapping it into my e30 - the only issue would be bypassing the EWS or somehow incorporating it into my car. Meh - if he the engine turns over and is not physically damaged, I'm getting it :P
