GunMetalGrey Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah I saw a few of those, thought about it. Silly motors really, hard to add power. Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I know.. The weight gain would be terrible too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Got the trans off the motor today, took the clutch and flywheel off and stuck it on the stand!Also was looking into clutches a bit, I think I will end up getting a clutch masters stage four setup. This would use the stock dual mass flywheel, a six puck rigid ceramic disc and an HD pressure plate. Called them up, guy was helpful and said it would be a great setup for up to 620 flywheel torque, and that the stage three would only be good to 425hp so that would be lame. The pricing is the same between the stage 3 and the stage 4 kit, so why be concerned about not being able to hold the power when its the same price?$585 for the pressure plate and disc..... shit, this is going to get expensive real quick!

GunMetalGrey Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Alrighty, so I did some cleaning yesterday! The motor was gross, as most motors are. It all looked a bit like that to begin. ignore the valve cover, that is getting special treatment And the pile it left on the floor was ridiculous, filled up a dust pan! Other than that, looking at MS setups, I think I will end up with an ms3x setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ever see a transmission that was made and then sat in the warehouse its whole life? Me either! But I did clean mine a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Got the head off recently, nice easy process without VANOS! I was a bit concerned about how the inside of the motor would look, but I was greeted by this! Honing is still there, no ridge where the piston stops, no wear on the cams ect. Super happy with it! Ordered new piston rings and rod bearings and am currently saving for ARP and MLS! Anyone have recommendations on how to get the rest of the stock gasket residue off?

suspenceful Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Use a RED Scotch Brite pad and some brake cleaner. Scotch Brite pads come in different abrasives; gray = fine, red = medium and green is rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerdown Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 They do make a semi long handled gasket scraper. Gives better pressure to get the old stuff off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anyone interested in a freshly build m50nv? I may be trying some new things lol Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Depends on your price sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well it just got new rod bearings, rod bolts, head bolts, all piston rings replaced, the head is going to be decked the smallest amount possible to make sure it mates well. Bore is beautiful, and you can has wiring harness and ecu if you need it.Not sure what you had in mind for price, would you need the e36 oilpan? Because I still have that hanking around.

Earl Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would need that pan, but I'm looking at a base price since I already have a ton to buy this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Anyone notice that I suck at build threads? I do!Got the head redone, looks real nice and shiny! Got ARP studs and a .14 MLS gasket, painted the block a lighter gun metal grey (ha, get it?) and put it all back together, along with new piston rings and rod bearings and all new bolts. I have the turbo, its a holset HX35, ordered an intercooler. Got a ZF, lots of stuff. All good fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
