Re: Vorshlag BMW E46: DSP Auto-x Project
Oh yes, a built LS1 + T56 would be much cheaper than building a competitive/to the limit DSP motor. And it would make 3x the power, on pump gas. And it would rev to 7500 effortlessly. And it would never break. And it would be FUN.
My wife is also suggesting the same thing you're saying: Push the car into the "storage bay" in our shop and put it under a car cover. Get caught up on our E30 LS1, her 2011 Mustang GT, and a customer E36 LS1 build we're doing. Then when we're caught up, pull the M54 and stick the LS1/T56 mock-up engine in the car and see if our any of our E36 LS1 bits fit. Make the kit for these that everyone seems to be asking for. The downside to using the E46 chassis is the CAN-BUS wiring that everything runs on, so getting the stock gauges and stuff to work would be a nightmare. I dunno... its a thought. Right now I have a retarded amount of money sitting in this non-running car.
