Hello,

Don't no about n62 pump, have never tried it, if you could get hold of one it looks like it would line up on the main caps but not sure about where the drive sprocket would be. If I was going to use the n62 pump, I would also try and source an n62 sump pan.....

Hello again,

The beast is now coming up for being on the road a hole year and 9000 miles and so far she's all good...

Since I last post on here I have changed a few things, the wheels which is the obvious one, but a fair bit not so.....

The front suspension, which now consists of M3 cross member, steering rack, lower suspension arm's and rear bushes and also M3 top mounts.... I have to say this has made her alot more stable it high speed and is even more of a joy to drive......

The wheels are now staggered alpina rims, which I have been dyeing to get hold of for a long while... But I have also fit a stud and nut coversion and 15mm hub centric spaces to get the look I wanted....

So here are the pics I took yesterday....



























Steve.

Wot abaat some under-the-bonnet pics?

Awesome look bud. I haven't heard your V8 rumbling past recently, you been away, or had her off the road for a while?

Hello,

Haven't been using her daily for a little while, she is a bit thirsty, and I am trying not rack up to much mileage, supposed to be a weekend fun car...

Also I have noticed a little vibration the last couple of times driving her if you give a boot full in 1st and 2nd gear, I think she has stuffed the rubber donut on the front of the prop which BMW use on every model just a little bit bigger on the larger engines, so going to change that this weekend, hopefully will sort out the issue....

I am dying to put an e39 m5 5ltr engine her but need to save up more, quite fancy 450hp..!!!

Steve.

nice car steve
first sorry for my english, I'm from Germany

I've adjusted the oil pump just in n62 m5 v8. the wave had to be reduced by 42mm rad and after that the building with the thread and pumps for the flight bar.

since the p62 has a larger wheel, the chain will be reduced.

is because the main shaft of the oil pump as long as the use of n62 oilpan not be possible. So I will design a complete oil pan itself.

are the major oil-channel fits the small must be signed by n62 and possibly be rebuilt. more on this when I ordered the parts from bmw with me at home have.
The front bracket must be cut apart because it does not fit hole picture. I will use an additional bracket to provide sufficient stability to protect it from vibrations

Hey, that looks like alot more work than I thought it would be, maybe my way isn't as complicated as looks....

Good luck with your build, hope you get there in the end...

Prop donut replaced, vibration gone......... Sweet..!!

That's awesome! I saw you having a bit of a shuffle about on Sunday, or may have been monday. You had the E36 on the grass, perhaps to get another car out.

Was in a bit of a rush as I drove past, with baby in the car, would have stopped to say hi otherwise.

I've rebuilt the oil pump and oil pan fits perfectly on the holes. the oil filter and remains below the normal M6x, p62 can be looped through.

End of year up date....

Finally had the beastie mapped (its only been on the road a year..!!!) and very pleased with the results.... 341bhp @ 6200rpm and 330lb/ft @ 4800rpm, sound bloody cool to....

Power Graph...

Those BMW engines are very under rated going by your dyno graph

Makes me wonder why I've spent so much money on a ancient Ford V8
