I respect all your opinions guys but at the end of the day "Security" Has pretty much summed up why I am going this root and besides everyone just chucks the M3 in there.. Time for something new! It is N/A for NOW; Later once everything is sorted I will save up again and whack a snail or two on the side of it.. kristafa, Your car is a BEAST! I have looked at your work mate.. It has already helped me ALOT! One thing I hope you can help me with is the wiring? I tried to sign up to performance forum to see more of your work but my email is banned for some reason, I have never even been apart of that forum before in my life? I emailed them and have got no reply..

Thanks for all the comments guys, I picked up the RB25DET motor last night from a member on this forum, Quickly chucked it in the bay to see how it would sit and as expected the sump fouls everything, So yeh im still in the process of hunting down either a sump off a Z31 or the RB30 Carby motor that came out in a patrol as they are a reverse sump.. Hard to find though..

Cheers for all the comments guys, Keep it coming!

kristafa, I just had a quick look through that thread.. You are like a god lol.. You answered so many questions i had! I wasnt sure on what direction to go with the mounts but you sure cleared that up! I hope you dont mind if i copy that idea? You work is A1++ Dude.. You should be so proud of what you have done, I hope my build can come remotely colse to what you have done..

Cheers!

EDIT: Does anyone know why my thread doesnt get bumped when there is a new post? hard to tell when people post something up you know..

Cre8toR, glad a fellow bmw owner approves of the transplant!!

actually got it started the other night which was a bit of a thrill, rb26 sounds menacing with just dump pipes attached!

Go ahead on replicating my engine mounts/xmember.. that design just made the most sense to us at the time.. getting the standard loom hooked up and supplying power to the ECU is a breeze (when you finally work it out!) just PM me when you're at that stage.

christo.

    • I'm running a Haltech Platinum Pro with the stock map for the RB20DET + tweaks for my build. When I started it this morning, the IAT was at 32F/0C (Outside temp was ~42F) and the AFRs went off the scale for my AEM gauge. I let it run for ~30 seconds then turned it off. I then did a smoke test, by hooking into a vacuum line directly behind the throttle body, and confirmed there was no leaks ( i let the smoke tester run for ~5 minutes / confirmed it was generating smoke before hand ). I then started the car again, after fixing a power steering leak.... and it seemed to be happy for ~30 seconds (was at ~11/12), but then seemingly shot back up to ~18 again. I then let the car run for a few minutes, thinking this was just cold start related, but the AFRs never came back down. I didn't let the car fully warm up, so maybe this makes sense, but I'm not sure what to do? The AFRs, when I last ran it, were normal, but because of personal reasons I haven't been able to break in the car. It was rebuilt last year.
