What do you guys think??

[thedude60126]

Man that is beautiful. Clean and powerful. Did you beef up the rear end at all to support the extra power.

[Bris328is]

No-- thats this winter-- I am going to remove the entire drive train replace the clutch rear diff and weld in the reinforcements--

Last dyno I put down 301HP at the rear wheels:buttrock

[MisterBimmerMan]

nice alpine white a$$.

[thedude60126]

Sweet glad to hear your doing this the right way. Too many people just bolt on a turbo or a SC and wonder why the blow the rear end a few months later.

[Blanco]

You shouldn't inject meth, 'cause drugs are bad...m'kay. :D

[Bris328is]

Thanks guys-- waiting for the friking rain to stop so I can takr the other pics-- the car is in the garage but the rain is pounding on the door:(

He said they were a bit different.

Well done Bris, well done. :thumbup:

[thedude60126]

Man those wheels with the white and the lip is just perfect

[WanaBm3]

Very nice. With the wood grain theme in the car perhaps you could take it a step further with a set of those door cards with the leather inserts and wood grain handles. Anyone know what i'm talking about? I've seen them, they may be rare. Beautiful, tasteful and most importantly clean.

[firefirefire90]

that car looks so awesome. I can't wait to take the entire insides of my engine out to overhaul it and get it clean!!

What do you use to clean her?

[Maxi]

Excellent Mod, Cool clean car. Have a nice drive with it:redspot.

[E36M34life]

That's a very clean alpine! FTW!

[Garrett M]

Any photos with my old LTWs ;)

[Bris328is]

Any photos with my old LTWs ;)
I need to update my sig, I have them on the car and get a lot of complements, I think thet look so much better than the contours.

Have you sold your car yet?

[Evil Spoonman]

Clean, understated, practical, elegant, fast. A fine example of an E36.

Couple questions:
- Are you going to install some truly lightweight wheels? That is to say something in the 16-18lb range, as I recall BMW OEM wheels (even lightweights) are not particularly light.
- What are the maintenance intervals with a supercharger (oil change, spark plugs, et cetera)? I imagine it is wise to compress the maintenance schedule a little in the face of high compression.
- What sorts of bushings did you go with? I would think the RTABs and rear suspension in general is going to be torquing a lot harder. M3 flex disc, Poly diff/rear subframe bushings?

the LTW Foged wheels are light, less than 15 lbs, they are on the car now:)

the oil change for the sc is every 20 K , its a self contained system as far as the oil -- see AA website.
5 k on the spark plugs and to keep a good spark at high RPM's, I also installed Plasma coils.

I replaced all the bushings with Poly --I also welded in a reinforcement kit for the subframe mounting and put on a AA DSB.
The car seems to be holding together--as it should.
Since the orgional post I have put on a M50 mani and a 3.38 lsd--its fun.

I am planning on a dyno in a few weeks.

[ducky328i]

two things. m50 manifold. stock mirrors.

[Bris328is]

Hi Roarf:wavey

[swapndrop]

Tell me how you got your gauges running into the cabin please :) Looking for new ideas..

[Bris328is]

Tell me how you got your gauges running into the cabin please :) Looking for new ideas..
I ran all the wires through thr grommet that all the wires run through between the cabin and the fuse box, then outh through the grommet on the fuse box to the sender. I enclosed the wires in sleeving so it did not look like crap.

[3lm3rom3ro]

nice work thats a beatiful car..

[espguitarist]

Hahaha, you keep your sunshade behind your passenger seat too?!

Great car, I wish mine was that awesome. I only need about....$10,000?

[ducky328i]

I have a m50 mani , I like my mirrors--had to change mirrors because it was cheaper than new glass for the stock ones

i was just going off the pics in the OP where you definitely did NOT have an m50 manifold...and...you couldn't find a set of AW non-m mirrors? i call BS...m3 mirrors are HORRIBLE...the ONLY way i'd ever have them is if they were actually on an M car...and i'd honestly consider changing them to non m in that situation...e36 m3 mirrors = yucky....

[ModBargains]

Awesome E36.

yea--put the mani on about 3 weeks ago and deleted the traction control, I am planning to do a dyno to see the before and after HP gains.

[Evil Spoonman]

the LTW Foged wheels are light, less than 15 lbs, they are on the car now:)
I was mis-informed, good to see you're considering it on all angles.

[thedude60126]

lets see some pics with the new wheels man

[asuj158]

great looking car, but you need more contrast in the front, make the lip black, and get a wing

[SilverThing]

Beautiful car!! Not usually an alpine fan, but yours is really, really classy-looking. You do all the mod work yourself?

[mchkc240]

Its one angry beast! :mad

Clean! :buttrock

[Bris328is]

Beautiful car!! Not usually an alpine fan, but yours is really, really classy-looking. You do all the mod work yourself?
Yes --did it all myself--it was fun-

I will take some pics today with the new wheels

[marinm88]

i always wanted to see your car... now i want it. haha.


+1 I would always see it in your sig but wanted more detailed pics. Looks good man, keep up the good work and keep us updated.

[Bris328is]

this is for Ducky-- evidence there is a M50 mani on the car--and a lack of ASC+T throttle body-- the mod is complete and the ABS sill works:buttrock

301?

Impressive man.

[Bris328is]

301?

Impressive man.
and more to come--A pully change is in the near future, which will take the max boost to 11 psi:D

[ducky328i]

nice :)

[Bluebimma]

Bris is ricersauce!!

[NHbmw325I]

nice car you have there! C38 time? :shifty

[Bris328is]

nice car you have there! C38 time? :shifty
The C30 does the trick--all I need is to put on a 85 mm pully and increase boost, then I should see 340 or more RWHP and will be moving into the territoty of needing to replace the head gasket and studs.

[atlantisvip]

Your shit looks sick Bris.

[Bris328is]

85 mm pulley for the SC and a new JTD underpanel in the mail right now,
I will post som pics of the install:buttrock

[thedude60126]

Bris is ricersauce!!

+1 Hey did you change out your contours for some LTW's?

[Performance///M]

Damn you and your FI power! :mad

[gettingthatflow]

nasty

[Bris328is]

yes I did--I still have te contours as an alternate set.

thanks--Putting in the 85mm pulley today and will re-dyno in a week or so--I will post the dyno. going from 8psi to 11 should yeild some good results.

[busterhax]

any retune necessary with the 85mm pulley?

you're making some serious numbers compared to other c30s out there

:buttrock

[Righteous]

Minus the Supercharger (simply because I can't afford it at this point). I would do my car like yours.

I would do some subtle exterior mods. Maybe a black lip, black kidneys, black roof, and LTW wheels.

[Bris328is]

:buttrock

I am performing a dyno tomorrow and will post it--that will determine if the AFR's are ok or if a re-tune is needed.

I think you're cars front would be complete with a black grille but thats just my opinion.

Do you mean replacing the chrome kidney trims with black?

[roarf]

Do you mean replacing the chrome kidney trims with black?

Yes, do it, matte black. :buttrock Or else I'm gonna come down there and do it for you, and trade you cars while I'm at it. :shifty Sound good? K, be down in about 16 hours. :D

[whiteknight]

Awesome car!!! Alpine white FTL!!!!!

[m2pc]

Wow, very very nice ride! :thumbup:

Did you install the FI yourself? Was it difficult? Do you tune it yourself too??

[Bris328is]

Afternoon-addicts--hows all doing?


Wow, very very nice ride! :thumbup:

Did you install the FI yourself? Was it difficult? Do you tune it yourself too??
Yes did it all myself, AA did the tune--

I will be posting todays dyno soon, need to scan it in--the dyno revealed some bad results--boost was down and HP up approx 30 hp, I think I have boost leak or a bad bypass valve or a slipping belt--I need to look into it. F^&%$#*^(&%$(&^$-- thats all I have to say about that!

[busterhax]

ahh dammit. good luck figuring it out though. were afr's bad from what you could see? i guess it doesn't matter though if your boost is down...

[thedude60126]

Just when you think all is well bam another bump in the road

[busterhax]

any updates as to whats going on with the car?

[Top Dogxxx]

looks really awesome dude!!

if you were on cardomain.com , i 'd give ya 5 stars : )

[ross22davis]

nice car... i like what u did

[Bris328is]

I found the vacuum leak:buttrock

it is this check valve that is between the purge valve and the manifold, it is there to keep boost from going back to the purge valve, well as you can see, it is bent and the chek valve is stuck open and it is leaking where the two grey caps are screwed on the ends.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/Triskets69/DSC00093.jpg

[thedude60126]

Nice always feels good when you find the problem

[Phillips0417]

Ahhh!! Damnit...Good find Brian! Looking nice, get her put back together and pound that dyno and post up!
:urtheman

:wave

I secretly admire you....:winknudge

[Bris328is]

I will dyno next week and we will see the results--should be fun:stickoutt

[busterhax]

Wooo nice job Brian. So was it coincidence that this happened right when the pulley was swapped?

Glad you found it, but that is a strange place to leak.:eek:

[3seriescr250]

that is probably the nicest e36 ive ever seen...would kill to have my e36 to even come close to having it look that good

[turbotbird23]

here is what happens every time i see you're car!! http://www.mediafire.com/file/0w90nxyyysg/jp.mp3 click open to listen.

[nserb1221]

Damn!! Thats a nice car!!

[Bris328is]

Glad you found it, but that is a strange place to leak.:eek:
well, I agree, you can see howthe valve body is bent and I beleive that is what caused it too leak.
I am putting in a metal one that I got a West Marine--Its a fuel system anti-syphon valve, should work good.

[328ioc]

Hello, I have spent lots of time on Bimmerfest but I am New over here on Bimmerforums and I just wanted to say you have the best E36 I think I have ever seen. Props to you and I am extremly jealous, and keep up the good work

P.S. I saw that you live on Merritt Island. I am a student at F.I.T. down in Melbourne. Do you know of any BMW clubs or meets in our area?

[busterhax]

So is she buttoned up?

[amcink]

Nice Car
Few tips I need from you please.
-How you re upholstered the headliner?
-Are the tires 17" rim size?
-Did you do any door panel re upholster since mine are sagging
-What VDO gauges you installed on the door pilar
Thanks for your help

[atlantisvip]

Did you de-lens your driving lights ?

[busterhax]

She running?

[Arctikz]

These are my plans with my cars.

[thebmwM]

Brian time for an update its been 5 months I know she can't be the same now as she was earlier!

[OSUNUT]

Nice looking ride. Love the Alpine.
Side note: Me and a couple friends of mine are coming down to Sarasota this weekend for the off shore boat races. We are towing my friends 35' Fountain all the way from Cincinnati. Wish I could see your car in person.

[xinfinity]

sexy car man
is that an m3 or a 325/328

[JoshBMX]

What do you guys think??

I think that you sir, have an incredible 3-series:buttrock. Looking through your front bumper and kidney grills is on par to those random moments when you catch a glimpse of an attractive woman's undergarments. Lol, absolute filth! I wonder to myself what 301HP would do to me, because right now 152HP puts a boyish grin on my face still!

[e36138vadered]

[beamah332is]

Last I heard she did 350rwhp with a slipping belt @ 8lbs and iirc she is suppose to be @ 11lbs....how much can the lil 2.8 take! will find out soon!

[busterhax]

I have the same setup minus the a/w injection...I hope my numbers are close to that
