L28 ET project

[twoforty]

Long time no Z. Nice to see a lot of Z projects still on going. I have my modified cylinder head for sale. It has all new stainless valves, gas flowed and modified combustion chambers. Would be great for turbo build.

I went from an L6 turbo to a 5.6 V12

How mad, I was only looking at this thread two days ago and had noticed you hadn't logged in for ages.

How's life? Is the 5.6 an 850csi? What about your old Z do you still see her?

[twoforty]

Hi George. Yes a CSi




How are you ? No I've not seen the Z but the owner contacted me yesterday saying its been sat in a body shop for 2 years and is. About to hit the streets again.

How is your car coming along ?

[Mr.G]

Sweet ride Simon and I bet the electronics side to those keeps up your interest.

Good news to hear your old Z is doing well and will be out to play soon, albeit with a new owner.

My Zs been on the road for some time now, absolute blast to drive! as you know turbo Zs are a lot more torque then I was expecting so its clutch upgrade time.....

Yep it has 2 ecu's, one for each 6 cyl plus a 3rd ecu for fly by wire throttle. I have removed the chips and have dual emulators plugged into the engine ecu's ......basically I can adjust fuel and ignition like an after market ecu but keep it all stock. It has active rear steering, traction plus ABS so it's pretty advanced for its age.

Yes the torque is huge from those turbo motors......the SPEC one I had was good value.

Nice car. I've always liked these but the minor changes you've made really improve the look.

Thanks, a previous owner asked BMW to fit AC Schnitzer bodywork, suspension and wheels, the car only has 55k miles from new with full history. It even had extended warranty until it was parked up 6 years ago. I agree though, it looks a lot more aggressive than standard.
