1995 E36 M3 GT Twin Turbo

Just before the new year the engine went back in, clean, with a new valvecover, modifited crankcase wentilation, the two missing gaskets installed in the rear turbo and some other small things.
The past days I have been chasing away the last of the oil leaks, on on the oil drain flange on the front turbo and a second one on the front of the engine where the cylinder head meets the camshatf tray.

Some pictures:
The oil leak on the front of the engine




Old faithfull.. silicone gasket


It was missing a hexagon bolt here, which might have caused the leak




And this bolt was also not tightened.


Faulti gasket, also the flange was not flush so I grinded it down using a 180 paper, followed by a 500, and installed a new gasket, I hope it has solved that leak.

Ready (again) taking my 3year old son for a ride

Thanks for the kind words.

New chargepipes, 3" alloy in gloss black

Wholly shat, wow your my hero, I love everything about your car, the white wheels look great, love how its kind of a sleeper, WOW (are those LTW badges on the Trim?

The badges are not LTW, the are BMW Motorsport International Badges, also found on the US LTW model.

This car is a GT version, only 356 made, my car is number 111.

Oh I gottch (I'm in USA) if u couldn't tell, I'm guessing you've got aluminum doors too, that is by far my dream E36... I mean it just doesn't get better!!! I can't think of one thing I would rather have done to that car( maybe a naked supermodel in the passenger seat but I'd be more worried bought the alcantar leather...
111 is a lucky number!!!

Various things were different in the GT

Shorter diff (3.23 vs 3.15)
More aggressive Cams (264°)
Alloy doors (like the S50B32 EVO Euro got)
Dual pickup oil sump (similar to the S50B32)
Adjustable front splitter
Rear wing
Carbon interior parts
Lightweight Motorsport wheels
Higher Rev-limit
295hp from the S50B30 vs 286
More torque
Special exterior color (312 British Racing Green)
Special Mexicogreen leather Vaders with alcantara

I just can't get over this e36, it's like you can just drop the mic and walk away... You win!

You make my M3 look like a joke

Are these crank HP numbers or BHP number

Man I hate they tame the M3 here in USA, imma have to try and import some parts now
Just the dual oil pump pick up is a good start

These are the official BMW numbers.. so probably crank.

Keep in mind that the car is now just under 500hp and 500lbsft. and the engine has had a total transformation with internals and also the addition of a S50B32 head.

That's insane!

Much respect to you sir, you've won in my book! Cheers

How much did those calipers run ya? If you don't mind me asking?

I got lucky on Ebay.. However, at the Merc dealer, you would need some serious funds.

Top build there,Iam in SA, considering doing a Twin Turbo on my M3,3.2 liter,
Could you Pm me your mail add so we can chat further

I have BBS RC and I really liked them in white. BTW, where did you got the bmw center cap from? Was it custom made?
Thanks.

Totally jelly of your car, I wish we had the options for those cars over here.

Wow. That's just great man

Congratulations! Great car!

Some updates:

I have been fighting some oil leaks, first between the cylinder head and intermediary head (cam tray) and also on the turbo drains. However, after fixing all of that I found out that the Constant Pressure Valve (CPV) on the rear of the engine block exhaust side was leaking. It was a fight to get to it but got there in the in the end. Now "hopefully" its the end of that.

Also redesigned the chargepiping from the turbos, before 2x2" to a single 2.25" and now to a full 3" through the intercooler and to the plenium.

Then moved the blow off valve to the plenium.

Changed the oil drains on the turbos, new NGK R-2525-9 Racing Competition spark plugs.

Finally painted the Engine Cover, Plenium, Charge piping, Intercooler and Strutbrace+tower mounts in satin black with two coats of glossy clear to get a better (upgraded effect).

The car was featured in the German BMW Magazine BMW-Power this month, great honor.

Pix from the last updates:

CPV out..


New chargepiping..









Final article..








I had a small squeeking noise coming from the suspention in the front left side. Turned out to be a bad bearing in the topmount (Intrax camber plates). That was a pretty easy fix.

Also the Beisan systems Vanos Rebuild kit (with anti rattle upgrade) has arrived, so I have started rebuilding my spare Vanos unit.

Then I found a decent location for the Aquamist guage, blocking of the vent on the left side of the steering weel and placing the guage there. Put some carbon wrap on it which I actually don´t like and will remove.

Then I noticed that my ZF S5G 310Z gearbox (stock) is on its way out,,, bearings are doing the Bee-Gees.. So I will replace the gearbox, either with a ZF 320Z (upgraded 310Z) 5 speed unit or go with the S6G 420G Getrag unit from the EVO (if I can find one for a resonable price). That will require a new crossmember, shifter assembly and shifter + modified driveshaft.. which is a bit of a turn-off when the 5speed is working fine with the wide powerband I have.

Last but not least I pulled the trigger on the UUC Twin Disk Clutch and flywheel package. This means I will be selling mY 10lbs JB-Racing alloy flywheel (see my facebook page) for GBP 200 + shipping
