Re: e36 technical advise

Some reputable workshops are doing it if cost is no concern for you. I was quoted $5k for the whole procedure.

No hassle,just pay $5k and the workshop kautim sui sui for you. Keke
 
Re: e36 technical advise

Re: e36 technical advise

most imptly, get a reputable workshop to do the job. for such jobs, better not save on cost..need more help or info, pm me..

tks taizi_dominic.& chairoger.

Made a mistake in buying 318. Now to sell and buy a 6 cylinder car would cost me a bomb. Thot can find a way to zhng the 318. How about turbo charge it. Don't know whether it is a crazy idea.

Bro,
Dont worry cause we are in the same boat. Made the freaking same mistake too but at that time,there were no good 320i in the market. Turbo charging is good for the extra power but costly to install and maintain. Personally, I am a NA guy.
 
Re: e36 technical advise

$S1.5 for parts only ah??...hahha... or jsut gearbox?...herre's a list of parts that are required
- manual box
- shifter assembly (levers etc...)
- pedal assembly

.... and if can get ALL that at 1.5k, go for it.. (and get me 2 sets too for my other cars....) SERIOUS!!!...:)

Re: e36 technical advise

Go for supercharge as if kena caught only $50 as compared to turbo is $500.
 
Re: e36 technical advise

while you're at it, why not upgrade to an m50 engine :D then supercharge it!
 
Re: e36 technical advise

supercharging is definitely the way to go... if u've got an M44 engine.... then there's ready kits available...heheh...:p

but its dead giveaway when the hood is up....hahha..:)

Re: e36 technical advise

m44 is also a alternative :D 140 HP plus a charger should boost u up to 325 territory - maybe even faster

that's my plan once finances allow

the m44 shares the same transmission as the m43 if im not mistaken

so, only thing that needs to be done is to buy the m44 plus the DME, everything should be plug and play
 
Re: e36 technical advise

yup...i think the getrag 220/250 should fit across the 4 cylinder range...:)
m44 plus, say the DA charger should bring it to the 200+ bhp zone..:)

whoo hoo...
