moranor@axis said:good stuff :rollsmile: would really like some dyno graphs if possible to compare curves![]()
moranor@axis said:R 2300 is alot more than i thought it would bedo you remember how much the valve cover gasket with rubber grommets were?
M3_e36 said:recieved mine yesterday!!!:joy:
ordered all other o-rings from bmw and vanos filters ect...
doing a complete overhaul doesnt need one but thought why not

Don't forget to drive the car for ~320km before the dyno. The seals need to settle. I still need to do about 200km for the seals to settle nicely.
Need to go on a loooooong drive :rollsmile:
M3_e36 said:yeah it was actually those 2 items that killed the price the most the valve cover gasket was R575 and the spark plugs gaskets was R300 each![]()
moranor@axis said:thanks M3_e36 not to bothered about the dyno numbers as the conditions will never be the same between the two... I more interested in where the S50b32 looses power with bad seals![]()
tyu333 said:Had mine fitted last week by racing snake aka Shaun. After fitting them the idled like it had some wild cams. Got on the highway and cruised around at 120km/h and 70km later :rollsmile: the idling is smooth, fuel consumption has improved a bit and lastly the power and throttle response :joy:
The M Coupe feels like a completely different car now :inlove:
@ racing snake - The workmanship and service :thumbs: :ty:
moranor@axis said:always a pleasure dealing with you Phumi :rollsmile: let me know how the install goes and how the car feels after...
slotcars1 said:So, kit in and all I can say is WOW!!!!!
My mech showed me the old seals and looked like liquid rubber, they were STUFFED!!!!! :thumbdo:
Power is there, and is there right through the rev range!!! And I am hoping it will get slightly better as they "wear in".
Thank you Sean for the great service, advice and expertise...
I would highly recommend this little preventative maintenance to anyone!!!!!
:thumbs: :joy:
Guys I used SVG autoworks in Southfield CT, the guy there has gone independent from BMW and has his "master technician" and is very clued up!!!
Their work and knowledge is amazing (except that he gave me a nice list of things to start sorting out :idea: ) Brydon was lank helpful and kept me up to date daily on progress etc.
Anyone who is interested, I would highly recommend using them. You can contact them on 021 705 4665 (Brydon is the BMW guy, and they also have a Mini guy, Robyn)
Thanks again Sean!!!
