Getting there! I figured I'd fill the E34 section in as I mostly hang out in the FI section but people from here have been asking about my car.

is it wrong that i just hugged my monitor


wow:eek:

so what did you finally land on for engine management? I know you were considering the SM-4 but if you get one will you be using a multiplexer for sequential ign or sticking with wasted spark?

Im still trying to figure out how to setup a multiplexing CDI circuit for that thing but the learning curve is tough. Thank god for the SDSU EE profs.

I just wiped mine :bj

If I do SM4, which I am 50/50 on simply because i played with the interface and its uh... interesting, I will be running a CDI HKS/MSD/AEM box wasted spark using a Nissan ignitor. For that reason I am sort of leaning toward an AEM box. I dunno, I have time to figure that out. I am on MS currently with only 440cc injectors to break the motor in on. So, I need to pick up my 1200cc-1600cc injectors and an ECU later.

Wow, looks amazing....when is your completion date? Guessing not in time for BlownEuroz...

Hey man, have you got any kind of estimate for completion?

Aiming to have it running by blowneuroz meet

That would be sick, Id love to see this thing up and running.

You guys coming out to the meet?

You guys coming out to the meet?

where is it being held?

where is it being held?

about 25 mins north east of Philadelphia

see!! and thats the reason i should have picked up an m50 engined car...

dammit

You guys coming out to the meet?

Yes, any other e34's going?

badass! just dont forget to put the headlights back on

Yes, any other e34's going?

dunno but yeah probably if E34 530 comes out and such

Ill be there.

is it wrong that i just hugged my monitor


wow

Not at all, as long as local laws don't prohibit that kind of relationship.

what is this engine ?!?!?

:la

Jebus H. Christmas! Even half assembled that is pure sex.

you owe me new underwear.

what is this engine ?!?!?

this is a custom displacement M50 motor

this is a custom displacement M50 motor

To put it mildly! From what I've been reading it's a custom "everything" M50 motor :eek:

that too ;)

its like a little space ship came down and nestled itself into your engine bay...
that is truly a beautiful thing :)
have you actually tried to eat your dinner of it yet?

:lol, that would be funny as hell. Before you finish, we have to see a shot of you sucking spaghetti off the valve cover.

haha you guys are an odd bunch

Cute

maybe my 525i will be that far one day :help

Nice work.

This thing is unreal. Easily one of the coolest e34's on the boards. Good to see its coming together Jon. Nice work as usual.

If not THE coolest.

yea, im not in it...:D

If not THE coolest.

Definitely. TheDogger, along with a few of the S50 swapped ones are pretty bad ass. JimmyZ2 also. A few of the older members whom I'm not sure if you remember Mac. I never here from Brian(thedogger) anymore and Jimmy is only on m5board.

Jon definitely has THE coolest/rarest mods though.

Dogger screwed me out of about $150 cash and then moved to Illinois or Idaho... grrr

Jon, when are you rigging up the under piston oil sprays? :rofl

Hm?

There are under piston oil sprayers

Hm?

There are under piston oil sprayers

Not an uncommon mode for heavily modified small block V8's. By drilling a small hole through the shoulder of the connecting rod and big end bearing at the right angle oil is sprayed on the major thrust face of the cylinder wall below the biston. This will help keep the piston cooler under heavy loads particularly when using FI or NOS. There are other methods also like this.

Yes I know, and the M50 block has it from the factory

m50s come with piston coolers? Jon, I was wondering btw, you coated your pistons, did you have them balanced after?

Dogger screwed me out of about $150 cash and then moved to Illinois or Idaho... grrr

I remember hearing something about that. That sucks. I've had two members screw me recently on parts that I sold them under false premises that I would receive money from them down the line. Luckily it wasn't to much $$$.

He moved to some resort town in Idaho or CO. :dunno

Yes they have oil squirters from the factory. Theres no need to balance a piston after coating it, the coating is very very thin and has no change in clearance on the piston. However, my new pistons (forged) are not coated.

Yeah hes in Coat D'Arlene or something like that I have it saved at home - I actually called his house and they said he wasnt there. He owes me money still.

#3 is the oil sprayer there is one in each cylinder pointing at the underside of the piston

I didn't know that :dunno its not mentioned anywhere. I just know Alpina added them to the M30 for the bi turbo.

I was wondering if you were going to add it as an extra pimp modification.

Are they in all M50/52 base cars?

I'm curious, are they just mechanical permanently on or do they work in time with the stroke?

cool...I don't suppose the M30 has this feature?

They spray constantly. They should be on all M50 based blocks yes.

1200-1600cc injectors. :lol

Shooting for some mythical HP I guess. I cannot wait to see the reaction on the FI board if/when you post a dyno sheet with your magic number. Should make for some good fun.

Good luck.

whatcha mean their reaction? shit isn't gonna be mythical todd!

Either way the FI board's going to be shitfest about it when you DO get numbers. "Haha you didn't make it!" or, "You dyno'd wrong." You'll never escape it.

Why do you think I won't post numbers ;)

Based on your history, I think you will not post numbers until you are satisifed with them. If unsatisfied you may never post them.

I am not being critical that's just my thoughts based on history.

You are not obligated to post anything IMHO.

Car will more than like be tuned up at ICS on 35 psi or so, C16, direct methanol, and direct nitrous (about 200 shot). I don't think I'll be unsatisfied - I think I will be down right terrified.

No offense, but it doesn't hurt to underestimate yourself sometimes.

But maybe I do that too much. :(

Well statistically, I have a larger motor than card counter, direct methanol and nitrous, so I should be able to hit his #'s and then some

My guess is, the first few runs will be unsatisfying (beta tuning), followed by many runs of punch me in the face awesome. You'll try not to post numbers, but it will leak eventually.

You're on the home stretch, just don't rush it. Like you need me telling you this :rolleyes








And give me a ride sometime.

Hehe you need a ride in a 76mm turbo car - the first few runs will be anything but unsatisfying :)

I won't leak the numbers if the few who know what I did don't. There are details about my setup that are still unknown :buttrock

It really runs off of gerbils?

I just wanna see a vid of 60-100+ to imagine what this pulls like.

Dyno's and 1/4 mile times, meh........

I think I can arrange for that

Whatever, Jon doesn't post pics or videos. I don't even think he owns a BMW.

Probably some 16 year old kid with a Yugo.

I'm with Binny, I want a ride yo!

Damn, you're onto me...

The only numbers I'm interested in are the $$$ spent. (to make me feel good about my frugality :D)

We are all living vicariously through your build, secretly wishing we had the time, energy, skill and money to do it.
