why didnt you mod the E38 better? just another E36 but im still gonna follow.

how do you plan to tune-up the engine after the boost? MS?

in bf.c many people have tried and very little got results. one big turbo would be better IMO.

Not one but two UK cars. Were they cheaper to buy and drive/transport over or something?

e38 competing in national drift league and maybe King of Europe? No Way.Too big,too heavy.I've seen some e34 made as drift car but just for fun.

Haltech i think,not decided yet. I think it will be a single turbo in the end.

sorry mate,e38 was just a donnor car.

Nice project! greetings from norway

thanks,cheers back!

Yes,all the donnor cars are coming from UK these days.Way more cheaper.In the past everybody got them from germany...but not only the romanians...bulgarian,poland,chech,russia,hungary. ..so they kinda finished there.

Time to put the engine on the e36 and check how fits.As you can see engine fits perfect,gearbox the same no mods needed and started the interior mods.

This is a message from my friends & colleagues from Audio Class Drift Team :
''I gotta let you know that the 4.4 engine, had a critical failure...so , until we will find a new 4.4 engine, we will continue with the m62b35 3.5 V8 (the little brother), that we had from another car. The 3.5 engine, will remain with stock CR 10:1, and a target boost of 0.6bar (8 psi). We hope to find soon a good 4.4 engine, to acomplish in full our work."

The stock rods in the 4.4 doesnt like boost what ive heard,!!

[DannyE32]

whats going on with the interior??? why?

The 4,4 l V8 was damaged by a mistake, but the stock 4,4 is known for not loving boost however it ws decompressed before attempting to start it...now it doesent matter, it will go with the 3,5 V8!

[Ali_ump]

whats going on with the interior??? why?

The interior is modified for center driving position - one seat only - it is still work in progress!

[Ali_ump]

Final turbo position, exhaust manifold is not the best thing we made, but if the setup works good, we will make another one, more professionally made. Engine is in place!
Driving comands are in place !

Need update! got any pics of them engine mounts?
