Big Six Engine upgrades

Rob Levinson? Who exactly is he? I would liek to talk to him about the project. So, yes I would give him a call for sure. Thanks Mr Project.

My father had a 63 Corvair with the turbo engine, it vented exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment, lol.
Im sure your Corvairs are far far better though.

Thanks for the links. Very helpful. I am def going to get an earlier engine block, 3.5 with the piston oil nozzles. Thats perfect. And Ill recheck the specs of the engine of course, thank you!

Meyle control arms?--I can give you two cents on that--"don't do it!"--use OEM Lemforder, this has been tossed around here, time and time again.

Also, some big resources here include but are not limited to (people):

Lowell---genius mechanic @ Koala Motors --working with the master.
Bill R.---the top dog daddy mechanic for practicallity and all inclusive knowledge, period.
Winfred---Second top dog mechanic and all inclusive knowledge
Shogun---electronic genius with sourcing for years, not days, speaks German, loves and works on tons of 7 series, BMW history, blah blah blah, etc.
Jon K.---budding mechanical genius with more mods than you can shake a stick at, including the first mega squirt, turbo, etc. --Runs a site for hot modded euros which is sponsored by UUC.

There are tons of others, but this is a start.

blowneuroz.com is sponsored by uuc now? i know that VF-Engineering (big time superchargers) sponsors them.


Javier- electrical wizard
Angrypancake- douchewagon, thread crasher. oh wait.....

[HDhandyman]

my bad, you're right, it is VF--sorry.

uhh humm:

Douchewagon Extrodinaire!

I think I have a starting point.

Another same year engine M30, Install oil squirters on crank journals. And just rebuild the engine, Lower compression slightly somehow. TCD Manifold, Single turbo setup(two would roc) Megasquirt Control for ign/spark/etc. Intercooled, New stronger head studs, Have a shop rework the head(balance springs, guides, valves, cam, well pretty much replace anything that I see worn. Lighten up the valve train if I can. I think this is a decent start. yes yes.

This engine will not be done for a while though, Not to give any of you fellas any sign of completion yet. I really want to Engineer a great/lasting t/c setup.
So nice and slow. Hmmmmmmm.

Thanks again for all the input!!

VAC motorsports will build a head with race spec valves and guides etc.

You could search out an Ex-german police Turbo M30 (T04, external waste gate etc) all BMW factory fitment and good for 350 hp stock.

Alternately you can tee off the oil pressure switch in the rear of the head to feed oil to your turbo and then go custom exh manifolds. $$$$ are the limiting factor.

I am anti-supercharger. Why? I had one - and while it was nice and faster than a stock 525i, it didn't fulfill my appetite yet cost soooo much. I was able to pull away from chipped E34 540s at a good rate, but still...


Turbo is the way. Forget two small dinky T25s - they require a lot of maintainence. The shafts break, the seals leak, etc etc etc., they're the product turbo off of Mitsubishi Eclipse... cmon. Step up to a single larger turbo and have your head explode!
