Thread: E21 Rear End reinforcement

its all about making your car faster!!!! lol never replace always upgrade.

I run mine at about the same unless it's raining - and I can be arsed! - then I run softest all round. I think, for the money, it's a pretty good set-up.

if you could get the early eta pistons like what i have in my block you get a 11.1 comp ratio and you feel it aswell - fuck i do anyway, if you cant find the early eta and you wont, if you do ill cut my bollox off cos they are as rare as green blood. get hold of the early 325 chrome bumper pistons cos there flat tops, high comp.. failing that then custom or late caved pistons.. i built and used a 1988 325 caved pistons which gave a good top...

Hi Zul-Azrin If you have zero mechanical experience, I think you should start by doing your own oil change to learn, but have somebody take care of the engine rebuild. You are going to buy expensive parts, just to trash them because you don't know what to do with them. Rebuilding an engine has little to do with slapping parts together. Seeing that you don't even want to spend the money on buying a Haynes manual, I wonder how...

2.7 crank, 130mmm rods, 885 head & pistons, deck 2-3mm of the block to suit the piston hieght Jason _________________ BMW e21 track car e36 M3 e28 hartge H5 e30 M3 x 2 69 Alfa spyder

dunno if its any indication of how to build a 2.7?..... i sold the rods out of my old 320/6 engine for over £30 on ebay! but personally id miss out on the 2.7 and go straight to the turbo on the 325i engine. just 0.5 psi would see 200bhp....

That's true. I have learnt a huge amount in the process. Oh.. I should single out Varden for thanks too, forgot about the A/C belt help he gave, sorry mate.. it was so long ago now

Those 130mm rods are the 320i 6cyl rods eh?

Tommi I can pick some up for you to collect off me over Xmas if you like? I need to nip round there and get some more anyway. Let me know
