Awesome I did the opposite! Installed a n55 into my e46 with a e90 GS6 37bz. That trans allows me to use the e46 6speed driveshaft and e46 6 speed trans brace 🫡
Hey man, I am sure I will get more practice on setting them up soon with the help of my friends. From what I understand though, compression isn’t as important as rebound. You tend to set compression to handle the spring rate you chose. If you remove the rebound from the front of the car it will actually help transfer weight to the rear. So set the compression how you like it and adjust the rebound to gain rear grip as well! The rear compression is the same mentality as far as I know, and the last event we drove, I actually stiffened (slowed) down the rebound in the rear shocks in order to gain grip in some sections of the track where the car felt like it was floating. Let me know if this helps at all, I’m still learning as well!
looks good bro and sounds healthy. Wanted to ask you i havent retorqued head after build should i be worried ? i already did like 4k miles probably and its already tuned and went through some beating and its holding good on 1.2 bar. I even rode a little bit on 1.6 bar.
I know right, I’m usually just so focused on driving when I’m at the track that I don’t turn on my GoPro. I will put together a driving video compilation from the last event though!
Exciting stuff man haha I know Ig saw it first but it’s sick to see the behind the scenes stuff. Brendon seems super knowledgeable forsure. Always progressing Dyl love to see it
its true about the washer,nice that you sand them. My only concern is the Athena gasket quality,we had many issues , leaking coolant and oil externally due to wrong gasket thickness vs the ring
it's funny you say that, because the engine had a. external coolant leak from the HG the first couple heat cycles but ended up sealing after I retorqued the studs multiple times.
The M54 is a good engine if you want to keep power around 400WHP, maybe more if you only street drive it. Drifting just seemed super harsh on these engines, but I probably demanded a lot more out of it than I should've.
Dope build, can't wait to start a similar project with my wagon. How high are you going to be revving it without shims? I hear conflicting info about the rev limits
I dig this video so much -- the music, camera angles, choice of cuts -- it all works like a music video. Then at the end we get to hear the motorcycle. All-around joyful capture. Thanks for sharing
