Awesome chief ...I'm impressed tbh

sexyto:
Before a Nigerian sells their BMW the car has Resident Evil they want to get rid off.
Happy sales.

NO

09sixteen:


No turbo. Just NA power

Great ..tbh I'm anticipating the end Result .

09sixteen:


Yoo Antihelminth i was following your bmw mechanic diary. Soo intresting. We share alot in common. Nice one bro

Thanks bro ..
Regarding your pursuit are you gon be the drift driver ?

autofrk:
@antihelminth

seems very cool, following your progress, seems like a visit to jos is in order

Lool ...its not all that glamorous .even tho you come you'd defiantly not see me

Day169:
It drives like no other, but the maintenance costs are higher than regular cars.

NO

shuri:


Someone should recommend a good scanning tool for BMW e70 x5, DIY. And where I can buy in Lagos.

Launch x432 obd scanner ..that's the one I know works well with all cars

09sixteen:


Some from the internet, some my team, some from my previous apprenticeship years ago, and am still learning currently. All in all experience and working everyday

am trying to sort out the youtube thing and upload the video. So busy and end up tired after work. Pls i will upload them.

Alright then ..thank you

09sixteen:


I will drop please. I assigned someone to open a YouTube channel and do the upload things. Due to my work and other business I can't handle it all. Sorry bro.
Will upload and even drop many pictures of some stages i still have pix of.

Thank you

09sixteen:



The platform we are working on is not as complicated as it may seem. (Although its not our first engine build) so it depends on your experience level.

Secondly when i say building an s50 out of an m50. We are trying to achieve similar power and torque level as an s50. We wont use every single part from an s50 cus whats the point, you should rather just buy an s50 if thats the case.

The point here is taking a not so powerful cheap motor and building it into something more powerful. (Hope you grab the whole concept now bro)

I would like to watch the building thing ..I'm assuming is something simple as adding a turbo
Tbh the way you're explaining it seemed complicated ..

Baba drop pictures please ..I wan dey see something

09sixteen:


Hope I answered your questions. Thank you for the feedback

Not clearly

How do you just increase the capacity to 3.0 while m50 and s50 engines are already 3.2l engine and above


That adaptor thing does it flash the ECU ? I don't get ..you know BMW has alot of sensors now I assume s50 engines have more sensors than m50 ..using an m50 wiring harness how do you intend using those air sensors that are not similar to s50 using an m50 wiring

I agree with all other points ..where did you learn all that btw ..I assume it's not YouTube ..
Ehn you still never drop YouTube link

09sixteen:


Hope I answered your questions. Thank you for the feedback

Baba Drop YouTube link ..

Btw where did you learn all that ..doesn't seem like from the internet

sexyto:

If the N engines are too expensive to maintain, then the M engines will do.
What do you think?

Depends on year and model of car you're buying .

sexyto:

OK, which makes the m54 a more cheaper engine to maintain.

To an extent yes ..but why go for something less powerful

daylay7:


Now, it is worse, it do take time to change from gear 1 to 2

Edit ..
I think you bought a bad gear box ..replace it .don't allow anybody open it o ..
Bmw gear box don't usually like being repaired at all

Where are the Toyota people now .come and discourage him

09sixteen:
Youtube video link will be available soon.

That would be cool ..

09sixteen:
240hp are average numbers you will see from many dyno results using the same route we took.

if you are able to spend more on very high degree/lift camshaft, cylinder head porting, improved fuel and fuel delivery and better ECU. 290HP is very possible. We are talking of raw NA power compared to its 190hp stock power!!!

For a drift car .does speed matter ?
Shay it's torque that it's more important in drifting .

09sixteen:
For engine. We decided to go with a 24v M50B25. This is a popular choice on e30s. With some little modification you can pull it off easily.

The main reason why we are going with the M50 is because we will build an S50 clone out of it. That way even without Forced induction we have alot more than stock power of an m50b25 (190hp).

Even if we decide to go with forced induction (in future) the m50 iron block is a solid engine. We consider it a 2JZ

We previously had two engines with same modification in the past on our e36. Its the cheapest way to gain over 200HP.

What do you mean you'd build an s50 out of an m50 I doubt if the wiring are the same as the s50 was only in the m version of e36

...good luck in getting the brain box and the wiring harness ..I'll very much want to hear gist on how you pulled it off as each piston has an individual throttle body ..I want to see the magic you pulled to solve that issue ..
.
That m50 is the slowest version of the straight six btw ..why don't you just say Bleep it and drop a double vanos m54 and be done ..
These modifications ruin the reliability' long term ..isn't it

sexyto:

I don't get you, 10000k less from 80000k so what is the Actual cost of 2007 below water pumps?

Okay the water pumps depends on the type of engine ..Soo if your car has an N engine which includes N52 N53 Ñ54 etc youd have an electric water pump ..which costs 80k or more ..but in Lagos it's 80k

But if you own a car with the M engine .which includes m52 m54 m50 ..youd have a belt driven water pump which cost max of 10k or more


It might cost more tho

sexyto:
Hmm, BMW is truly a money pit.

I don't think so ..from 2007 downwards .the water pumps are usually 10k or less .not more than .
And they don't fail like that .water pumps can take up to 7 years before they fail .

I think it's still worth it .a Toyota water pump in a 2007 car might be more expensive

The famous BMW e90x et e60 water pump ..
80k per piece .minus transport and installation fees ..
Know what you're getting into befor you buy a BMW with the N engine

09sixteen:
This way we are able to lock both rear axles together. Its not ideal for normal driving but ideal for drifting.

By that, power is sent equally and always to both rear wheels regardless of any condition unlike in an open differential

Alright I get it

Following ..
I've a question .why did u weld the differential ?

Iamicekid:


You are just speculating bro, I stay in Abj and I have a friend of mine and also a bro of mine that uses BMW, and most of the time it’s has issue, they always have to order the spare part, my friend later got tired and sold his, it’s only my bro that is still using his own… and when I was talking I’m talking about BMW of year 2014 upward ooo

People that own BMWs of 2014 upwards in Abuja are many .no think am.. parts are even cheaper in Abuja than Lagos .
We use to order from Abuja too and what we can't find in Abuja is always available in Lagos

Iamicekid:


Same as BMW and the ones wey finally know there way, the spare parts are always difficult to find, you have to start buying from Germany and stress of it will just frustrate you

No way ..Abuja and Lagos BMW spare parts are everywhere there ..even kaduna sef

That's a straight six n52 or n56 ..not a v6

It can be repaired ..sometimes changing the oil filters and washing the brain of the gear box works..it hardly works

You can't find a new one soooo Belgium is like 200k .in Lagos ..could be cheaper in Abuja

You are actually more imbecilic than I thought

Bros, at this point, I am convinced you haven't even acquired your primary school leaving Cert ..

So you do not know that the way you employed that "prove" word in that sentence you made that I quoted requires you use its noun variant "proof" and not the verb "prove" ?

You can only use "prove" as a verb which is an action word.. e.g.. "Antihelminth, I will prove you are an imbecille"

The fact that you are even arguing this makes me sick.. Just do whatever bro .. You are far worse a retard than I thought

And the fact that some people actually liked this your comment has made me lose a whole lot of hope in humanity

What the actual fvck

Yawns

buygala:


@ bolded

It's "proof" not "prove"

You see why you are so clearly a chronic illiterate..
