yahh's Avus Blue E36 LS Swap

[Inflame]

Ah okay, figured since they look a bit wider than what I've seen. I'm picking up some V1's off a local this weekend.

You name it's gone other than the heater core. Since 3" exhaust all the way back saves a HUGE amount of weight (no emissions or inspection in Michigan). Sunroof delete, door glass removable, nearly all sound deadening, nothing out of the unusual.. carpet of course. My wheels/tires probably weigh a bit less than yours also. Air bags, I also have lighter seats.

Did this car ever hit the dyno?

Yeah I waited for the V2's so I could fit the 18x10.5's. I'm going to try and shave another 130-40 pounds off. I just removed the sunroof yesterday.

Not yet. Waiting on heads and cam, i'll probably dyno it soon.

Should do a before and after dyno!

I've dyno'd the car now. it made 390hp with 351 tq sae corrected in August. One cat was clogged but wasn't noticed until after the dyno. The car will eventually hit the rollers again. On nitrous the car makes 519/624.


The entire motor was rebuilt to stock specs except ARP headstuds, ARP Rod bolts and the headwork + cam after it spun a rod bearing a few months ago. I've had it up and running for about 3k miles since and it drives like a dream. I drove it to NJ to bimmerfest and was the booth car for Mishimoto. I've done a few events with the car to. Recently I did a "circuitcross" at VIR on the Patriot Course and I ended up running the 4th overall time. Running another autox tomorrow to see how it will do. I will be putting the car up for sale shortly but more of a feeler as I am considering getting into something different.
