I already have my flame suit on [peace]
SO.... I keep thinking an S14 turbo in my E36M3 non sunroof car might be the ultimate track/toy.
why... well currently the E36M3 is around 3000 pounds... S14=235lbs, s50=300pounds...
I figure if I added a turbo system to an nicely prepped S14 in the E36 chassis my overall weight would still be right around a stock motored car. I still kind of want an S54 but they are 330pounds stock for 300whp'ish... S50 turbo add even more weight to the nose... I'd like to keep the balance of the car as close to stock as I can since I love the E36 chassis on track..
S14 turbo done properly seems to just go nuts with boost, 400whp would be plenty, anything more would be even more fun...
I prefer the E36 rear suspension on track. I have an E30 D mod car and have tracked plenty of E30's.. I just prefer the E36 rear suspension it feels much more planted at high speed...
AND now the intresting part.... I'm sure everyone here knows a multi throttle body set up sucks for producing a stable map signal... SOOO I just happen to have a mangled throttle body that my Dad.. Gotta love Dad... Tried to make into a slide valve set up for the race car... needless to say it never made it...
I'm thinking of converting the mangled TB's into straight through tube with velocity stacks inside the airbox and putting an E36 throttle body on the Stock E30M3 airbox.. Yes, I have a mangled one of those laying around, once again thanks Dad... I would not mangle up good E30M3 parts so I don't feel to terrible giving the single TB conversion a try...
I figure in an E36M3 it would be one less thing to have to figure out and would produce a nice stable map signal for the ecu...
Sure would turn a few heads with an S14 turbo under the hood:gotcha:
Flame suit on... anyone have any thoughts?
