Rebuilt Vanos




stock DME


With AlphaN Chip


S50b30 carbon airbox, CSL inspired












Ebay Headers

[Ausm3]

Changed headers to Raceland Supersprint copies and had them ceramic coated. Measured the Raceland vs Euro Headers and Racelands are wider everywhere!













Really difficult to get clearance, so new H&R front sway bar with spacers, and downpipe fabrication by Kronic Customs.

New control arms, with poly offset bushings.







Oil Cooler install - can't use Euro Oil Filter housing due to the carbon airbox blocking the ports.





New gold bolts for the BBS RC090 - don't ever want to change these bolts again. So time consuming.

New Bilstein B8 to replace the B6. This will compliment the H&R Sport Springs. New H&R rear sway bar added as well. AKG Poly bushes, motormounts etc.







EMU Master ECU added. I was not getting good results with the AlphaN chip set up. I opted to use a MAP Sensor instead. Tuning done by Hyperdrive Motorsport





Before AlphaN Chip - Stock ECU





After EMU ECU Master. Note is Dyno Dynamics RWHP = 164rwkw. This figure is very comparable to other e36 M3 dynoed here.

Youtube review by Ross Reviews

[Ausm3]

Wanted some bling so added a VAC aluminum expansion tank. Expensive as hell and had to modify the coolant output.








AC Compressor Clutch crapped out and the compressor was leaking, so time for replacement, with a PF condenser (both Nissens). Receiver/Drier pictured ended up being the wrong part due to the fixtures.









Kap Industries Extinguisher Bracket




MAP Sensor using vacuum from FPR to EMU Master ECU.



Innovate LC-2 Wideband sensor to EMU Master ECU. Might need recalibration soon.




Custom downpipe to clear H&R swaybar, using swaybar spacers.



Tight clearance. Using Tuner Motorsport Offset FCAB




A nice cruise with a very quick ESS Supercharged E46 M3
