Good news. Did you still get the correct impedance injectors from the guy on the zone?

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Old engine is fully done now, back in and driving. All OK it seems so far. I considered an E36 M3 before this (and my other 328), but when I factored in the cost of all the additional work I've done on this, the total build cost would be twice the price with the...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Brakes felt much better yeah, probably better than they have ever been. Might be a combination of new discs and calipers too though! So after pulling the old engine out, I swapped various bits over to the old engine. Gearbox, Clutch, Flywheel, Exhaust Manifolds...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Hopefully know the cause soon...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Oh, cool. Im lifting it out tomorrow so once I've got chance to look at it il let you know, might be worth a try before I lift the head off.

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Not far off ready to come out. I think it might be a head gasket issue... Oil on the block in various places and oil in the coolant. Great!

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Unsure. It had a lumpy idle after lunch but thought nothing of it to be honest as it was fine through the revs and still smooth. Drove it home... Then swapped out the coilpack/plug but no different. Had it on INPA but no fault codes, just cylinder 1 showing rough...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Well that lasted long. Cylinder 1 has a bit of an issue!

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) People have hit 250hp with a proper live map and the US spec M3 cams, but thats about the limit. Not really worth it IMO, I've done the majority of the bolt on mods now and already have a mapped ECU. I don't to be spending big cash to get 10hp, if that. If I really...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Not sure to be honest. The old 200k+ mile motor pulled 216hp/205lbft, that was before the M3 Exhaust Manifolds, M20 Flywheel, etc, though. The new engine feels like it has much more torque (and power), I'd hazard a guess at 230-235hp. Might RR it on the same...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Yeah, he missed it all, well saved. I'm not sure what forum he was from, but he knew who I was lol.

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Cheers for the comments everyone. Its not perfectly geared for Oulton really, as it runs out of RPM in 3rd after Shell, then really needs dropping to 2nd to pull up over the hill quicker. Not something that needs changing mind, fine how it is! Couple of other clips...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Yeah, probably less than a minute before it drops by 10C, not long at all. To be honest i'm not so much worried about the temperature in general, its just pressure I usually watch. Pressure peaks at 2800rpm and holds all the way to the top end, which never changed no...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) I just run a recommended 40 weight (as per BMW spec), nothing thin or special etc. I have the gauge programmed to show its first red indicator at 122C, never saw that throughout the day! Id imagine an M3 would run hotter anyway with higher RPMs and more power...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) The gauge (digital) consistently sat at 117.5-120.0C yesterday once it had a few laps to warm up. If you did 1/2 a lap at a slower pace, the temperature would drop by 10.0C almost immediately. I really don't think its anywhere near 120C - oil cooler is hot as...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Best lapping I had was with the turbo'd G40 Polo on a few occasions, was going well! The only issue I had really was Oil Temperature reading very high, but I think the sender might be heating up in the housing where its located, as soon as you drive slower with less...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) After being given a fortune this morning.. :clown: Had plenty of clear lapping. Engine is great. Brakes are great. Tyres lasted well. Track was pretty quiet too for once, had a few good runs with some other cars that were on too. Plenty video footage, will upload...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) In other news.. At Oulton Park tomorrow. See how this new engine goes I guess!

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Sorry, I'm not having that. You never spoke to myself about appointments on the phone, you're either getting confused or thinking of someone else. When I phoned, I simply asked for Richard, and told I would get a call back. No discussion of dates took place...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) I'm not sure why you are missing this, but you've only shown the e-mail history up to my message on the 11th May, the point I was making I never received a response from you since that. The rest of the history is irrelevant, I only mentioned recent issues with...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Correct, 100% no weight was added. It doesn't matter now anyway, I know the rear camber changes a LOT with weight/movement, as I've had the GoPro on the back wheel on track, and the camber changes a lot. At the end of the day this is how BMW designed it, the...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) We did not add any weight, this was because it never had any in the first place. I was asked this before we started on the day. Weight of the car as a whole remains the same

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) That's fair enough. I accepted it to be out on the front at least, as mentioned. Never had to deal with this on Clio's tbh, never had the problem. As described above I was more so interested in the rear, as the camber is fixed and the height/weight has not changed...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) I'm sorry but its not untrue. I never had a response from you since e-mailing on the 11th May. I also emailed in the coming days after that and never had a reply between. Also no return call. In reference to you saying you were busy for a month, that was April, as...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) It takes much worse for me to fall out with someone, so no, I've not, I'm just disappointed on the whole. I appreciate your reply, and whoever sent you to this thread thanks, but its a shame you could only reply on a forum when comments were made. Shame about...

Its more than likely priced well to keep the 'chavs' away, probably why they have limited numbers being sold too. Its a bit on the steep side, but includes camping and other bits so its not as bad as some events!

That temp sensor looks a MESS. Someone been at it with grips in the past lol?

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Im not 'blaming' them, I just don't agree that they put proper effort in doing it bang on in the first place considering whats happened now. I was messed around originally, as I was booked in and got a phone call after i'd already left saying can I delay it by X...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Shame really, as I recommended them to 15-20 people who actually ended up going there, when it may just be all along mine was out. Its a minefield though I guess, anyone can go and buy the system, but its if they know how to set it up and use it properly that matters...
