Hey Everyone,
That 323i i purchased didnt exactly meet my expectations as far as a restoration project for myself. Luckily the owners of the 323i had this gem, so i consider it fate i bought the 323i allowing me to buy this 745i.
1984 BMW 745i
Imported from europe in the 90s
Inline 6 3.5L turbo (from factory)
Automatic with S,E,123 switch
Loads of power options however doesnt have the rear power seats which i was hoping.
I have not been able to find any rust on this car at all, im sure there is some but shock towers and trunk are mint
car needs a major polish
Plans:
Coilovers or bags (still undecided), wheels, chip, intake, wastegate, fuel pump, rise rate fuel pressure reg, ect ect
ive researched a fair bit and found with very little modification the engine can be putting out 400hp and similar tq numbers @14psi. Max boost on stock bottom end is 16psi, i will be running 14psi to be safe. This will be a long term project with no much happening at the start.
Enjoy:
Engine decided to break a rocker arm so I got GAS to do some work:
New:
valve stem seals
head bolts
rocker arms
head gasket
lower timing gaskets
upper timing gaskets
intake mani gaskets
exhaust gaskets
valve cover gasket
timing chain
camshaft gear
crankshaft gear
timing guide rail
timing tension guide
misc vacuum hoses
crankshaft seal
cam seal
Reman'd the cylinder head as well.
pics:
got some more part courtesy of cts turbo:
walbro 255 inline fuel pump:
precision 39mm wastegate:
also bought a front euro grill and lights that i will be getting shortly, all i need to figure out now is a chip and fuel pressure reg and turn up the boost!
