Rajicase's First Turbo Build, Ballin' On A (Nonexistent) Budget

[doktor b]

BW gruppe 2 engine mounts. stock comfort with the stillness of poly.
and i ran UUCs with enforcers also. no discernible NVH from the driveline. engine and trans were solid no matter what.

I had the UUC poly mount garbage on my s52 e30 and they tore up with hard DD and canyon driving in less than 3 months. Buy AKG if you want quality parts.

This. Everything AKG makes is awesome. I have a lot of their bushings.

I run one poly MM on the passenger side. stock trans mount and stock drivers side MM. Very little engine movement IMO. The perfect combo.

[rajicase]

^^That is my exact set up. But I don't seem to be so fortunate. I think im going to try poly trans mounts and see if it helps.

[flyfishvt]

I run stock trans mounts, stock drivers motor mount, giant poly passenger motor mount. Probably have 30 1/4 mile passes on that setup.

I wonder if you just have 1 air bubble left in the clutch hydraulics. Maybe the clutch isn't releasing 100% during quicker shifts?

[bry195]

You have a helpful Autozone. Most of the kids running them in my area can do little more than type car year and models into the computer for applications and then they still struggle to locate the part number on the shelf.

You are correct. I miss the guys that know what they are doing. I have to apply lots of pressure to the kids to get them to open a box.

I think the older verts or even vert automatics had a helmet that went over the motor mounts. It limits the motor side to side movement. I use them and they work great. NO VIBRATION. I was going to make a cup for the tranny mounts but no need now. Easy enough to make though. Now that I think about it a cup on the dif bolt might help.

No such cup on vert motor mounts. Not from the factory. The only thing you'll find is the same heat shield that all e36s have.

I have them on my car, passenger and driver side. They are called an engine bearing and are a different part number than the heat shield. http://www.realoem.1994 325i 11811141737. The motor no longer moves front to rear or left to right. Just up and down and NVH is OEM (butter smooth).
Updated- This is heavy gauge steel. After I installed the motor the heat shield went on over the top (thin gauge and much larger).

What happened to the photographs of the build? Looks like there is a hosting problem

.worry about what your doing ^^

In the 600's with 21 lbs of boost on a 6466, I like it! What compression you running and what RPM does boost start to come in?

BTW, I think hakenttttt was talking about Raji, not you Butters lol

[pbonsalb]

My car is just a hologram.

No he was bitching and bitching for a bit. And he seems to be bouncing around being an ass in all the threads.
600's with 18#s

Yea I noticed the "being an arse" part

[rajicase]

I am almost at 600 miles now

Few notes;
Car runs very well, I am extremely happy.

I have gotten much less timid with the right pedal, yesterday night I took it out for a real beat down. I wanted to push it HARD. I did WOT run after WOT run non stop for 20 miles or so. And damn was it fun. Car took it like a real champ too.

I will say, to everyone who says you get used to the power quickly..... well yall were right. I wouldn't say it gets tiring or boring, but you definitely get used to it quickly. Still an absolute blast and thrill, but I am getting quite comfortable with 10-11psi.

Next step is to install my walbro 255 next week(if time permits) and step it up to 14psi.

I definitely need tires and an alignment as I spin the shit out of 2nd from a roll. Its a bit squirelly in 3rd as well, but not bad.

So my game plan is to get to 14 psi and leave it there till I get;
New tires
Alignment
Trans mounts

Funny how fast it goes from balls to the wall insanity to 'meh'

This is unrealistic .

Don't forget to warn me about ensuing sadness.

[Jab31169]

Still thinking about C&C on Saturday morning?

[GG///M3]

Don't forget to warn me about ensuing sadness.

You've already been warned. I'm waiting for the engine build after the stock motor blows up. Just don't state it will be a 60 day build thread.
