Do the Euro E36 ITB conversion

I'd love to get my hands on a complete Euro E36, period.

The intake swap doesn't fit onto a US S52 without heavy modification. Even then, it's cheaper/easier to do an M50 manifold and a BBTB.

Rev higher
More power/torque
ITB sound
etc...

Salivating at my desk now.

I think my next project is going to be an e36 coupe with a Grand National motor, big turbo, ITB intake manifold with a plenum, probably 6 speed, bws, caged, fat rear tire, the works

[mrg7243]

That's a Euro E36. The S50's that came in them were a much, much better motor than what we got.

300hp vs. the 240hp we get here.



Dat lope

[180roman]

Gay, US gets all the crap stuff due to stupid emissions

[mrg7243]

I would kill for a JDM galant interior. :swoon

[P78]

that happens over here too

like for instance with the 2.0 tdi 140Hp

those get sold over here with 136hp for emission and tax reasons

LD5's only belong in GN's. That's the only way their worth anything- there are countless choices for better motors that are cheaper and more powerful.

An LQ4 with two hairdriers would make an incredible car.

but why is it downgraded for US?

Because Americans are fat and stupid. We also get downgraded from floater brakes, 6-speed transmissions, and different trims (we never got the lightweight EVOs with aluminum panels) because we can't have nice things without ruining them.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw an abuse or neglected BMW. I'd be rich.

Emissions and the fact that we're cheap, lowball sonuvabitches.

Shouldn't after waxing the lips twice. The tape didn't stick very good so I think they will be fine.
