Well I mean it's an epic project.

Thanks again,, and to be honest by my self,, i agree,, the V12 is cool to look at ,, and if everything is done in a proper way,, clean and shine,,

yes it looks good,,,,,,,,,,,

[ALPINA]

Well small update,,,



2 x 6 cyl coilpack



8.5mm MSD



I have to get a smaller pulley wheel ,, or a bearing



and put another pulley/wheel here were the 8mm bolt is,, to get as much touch/grip on the crankwheel

i had the water pulley remade so i can run 1 belt instead of 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

















lots of oil lines.....

a) 1 ,,main feed from pump to Accumulator.. pressure
b) 1 from accumulator to mastercylinder feed,, pressure
c) 1 from accumulator to steering box,, feed,, pressure
d) 1 from accumulator to oil carrier,, reverse
e) 1 from mastercylinder to oil carrier .. reverse
f) 1 from oil carrier to pump,, reverse,, big one
g) 1 from oil carrier to steering box,, reverse


got it ???????

all lines are high pressure and covered with stainless steel sleeve



the oil lubrication carrier,, i had to make new lines from flex steel hose,,

-----------------------------------------------------------------





3 fuel lines 2 in 1 and 1 reverse

-----------------------------------------------------------







i had to modifie the gear stick,, so it would fit correct

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Sticky]

I can't believe the damn thing fits.

[ALPINA]

The engine is the least problem,, to fit it is SO MUCH space,,around ,, remember the M70 is similar in lenght to M20/50

the radiator must be ultra thin,, IN MY CASE,,, i have 4.5cm or 1and 5/8" for space

and as all oils go in to the engine from left,, it is the space beside the engine from left that is the main problem,, but it will fit

Truly amazing workmanship. I wonder how it will drive though and what the torsional rigidity of the chassis is?

[Group.america]

This is $#@!ing perfect A+

When one is tired of hearing about S85 swaps into E30s etc, someone goes really big and DOES the V12

Truly amazing workmanship. I wonder how it will drive though and what the torsional rigidity of the chassis is?

Well,,,,,,,, as i have owned this car for 10 years,, it have been through LOTs of adventures... as on the Ring.. the rigidity,, is actually PRETTY BAD,, i had crossbar under the front subframe .. and also between struts,, and it helped a lot.. but

my opinion is that an E30 convertible is actually a 3 pcs car.. front of doors,, the doors and behind doors,, so the flex is so much more vs 2 or4 door E30........ i have been reading that the BEST UPGRADE is if you put a Hardtop on ,, then the rigidity between window frame and the body have been tightened as close as an 2 door car,, so the constructon is semi like,, but be aware,, that a convertible is like 150kg,, or 3300 lbs more in weight vs 2/4 door

with the S38B38+G280 gearbox,, half tank of petrol,, sparetire,, the car was 1450 kg,, or 3200 lbs........ 13.28 @ 107 on 17" street tires

a quick top down E30

What helps with the V12 is that the engine is 60° ,, i wonder why BMW didnt had the S85 as 72°

but to be honest ,, i think S85 is the greatest oem BMW engine swap that can be done in to an E30

[ALPINA]

Small update....

I finally found a soulution for a single belt drive ,, to get as much grip on the vibration damper





Custom made ,, Guibo end to the gearbox.......... 110mm ((beat that)) made out of solid steel and turned by a lathe










overhauled diff ......... 3.46 LSD




some kind of strenght frame ......... E30 cabrio.......... ONLY i think




clean heatshield




the rarest brakefluid expansion tank ,,EVER in Iceland .. E34 540 touring 6g,, 1@499 worldwide made







Stainless steel rear muffler,,, designed by my idea,, have the dimension as oem 325 muffler,, got it tigwelded ,, and bended hollow stainless plate for pipe through the muffler







I will use 2 x 63 mm stainless pipes for exhaust

[Sticky]

Good work man, good work!

[ALPINA]

Well,,,,,,,, the exhaust is finally done....... at a hefty price ouich


it was narrow but my man did it well,,, stainless all the way from oem manifold to the end.....
from manifold,, 2 x 42.4mm tubes and bends were used ,, and then in to 63.5mm

4 flange 8mm 316ss were made,, an X-PIPE and just 1 rear muffler + lots of bending and many meters of pipes


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tight... right side of the car.. some mods because of the engine mounts


also on the right side,, developed..or designed in that way the starter can be taken out





drivers side.. the steering was the main factor of design


This explain it self 2 x 2 -->2,,,,,,,


and then in to X-PIPE...........


X-PIPE..



WIDEBAND,,,,,,,,


rear silencer




in front of silencer
