Engine specs mate

Its a standard ls1 with ARP cod rod bolts, Vortech v2 from capa running 7 psi, custom full exhaust, Allisport rad intercooler oil cooler and tanks air intake is just 3.5" converlute tube fitted to the supercharger to get it running will eventually go to an airfilter mounted in the front bumper in a sealed air box with the front fog light removed to feed it. This is a mock up at the moment and will be transfered to my mint 328i sport shell.

Looks like a very tight squeeze !! good luck with it.

Ooooooh. What did you have to go and do that for?

Yet again, I'm wishing that my E46 engine will blow.

I think we need more details of who has done the install, and what problems have been encountered. Looks fantastic.

Araf, speak to tinker-27 he has done quite a few conversions

Cheers. I think I need to save a bit first - unless I use the money that I should give Mr Darling at the end of July.

I havnt had the car dyno d or set up yet im hoping between 500 and 550bhp. Me and friend gary (raving) made the engine mounts gearbox mount. We also had to make the supercharger bracket shorter to get it all to fit under the bonnet. Had to change the pas pump for a smaller unit and make mounts for it. Zcars the mini people made the exhaust, Allisport did all the alli work tanks rads etc. Ill try and get some more pics on of the build but im not how you do its.

Hope you've got a good tune sorted before you go out and cane it!!

Are you using the LS1 ECU?

[ringram]

Similar specs to TerryS I think, though he has a cam and GTS-R (ie Mild) heads. He made over 500rwhp which is well over 600fwhp from memory.
So setup right with decent exhaust etc you should hit your 500fwhp numbers

[blownls1e36]

Yes using ls1 ecu i did all the wiring my self capa have put a base map in it and its running mafless.

Is the header tank a BMW fit item, or custom ?

[tinker-27]

the std header tank is fitted behind the ns strut top,i have fitted a few into bmws two zm3s and a m3 evo (the one that kicked all your asses at woodbrodge )apart from jez, they fit well and make a good car.

Header tank made by Allisport to Ians own design, Engine, gearbox and ancills supplied by me 2004 GTO, Vortech blower kit supplied by me through my mates at CAPA (intercooled kit), LS7 clutch supplied by me,engine ,gearbox mounts done by us and as Ian says we heavily modified blower bracketry and power steering pump mounts to fit all in.One off lower steering column,modified sump + cradle.Hybrid BMW LS1 loom by Ian.

OK, so you can run it but who's doing the tune?

Well done Mate. Nice project.

BTW you have an LS1 so why not have a look at the Moates Road Runner and Efilive. The package is able to do real time tuning, although this combo aasumes some tuning knowledge.
