I don't see any posts about this dude. So click on link and tell me what you think about this. http://www.nash8503.com/index.html

It's got a corvette engine and he is offering a kit.

I'm downloading the install instructions now, the transfer is slllloooowwww. It looks like it's got potential to me. One question I have that's unanswered is what transmission would you use? Maybe the install instructions will tell me. Before I dropped that kind of cash, I think I'd travel up there to see his install.

This will most likely screw up the handling of your car, but it'll definatley be a torque monster.

Go now!!! I'll wait. Take some pictures ask for a drive and give him the link to 318ti.org. So he can show off and we can speak to him and perhaps buy his kit. This is a sacrilege of the ti I can live with.:biggrin:

this has been linked to before and somewhat discussed. the corvette engine is close in weight to the bmw I6 and he used a GM trans if memory serves.

Don't see the thread. Can you give me the link to the thread?

[davep-uk]

i bet it would sound really nice.

[Tyler]

Yeah this was posted on here maybe last spring?? I tried searching for it but not sure where it was discussed.

hellrot332ti is putting an LS1 in over winter I think. He should have a ton of info about it. There was a thread in bf.c about the V-8 swap too. There are quite a few advantages to doing it if you can handle the fact that a BMW is powered by a chevy motor.

[TiPerformance]

Put the new LS7 in there and that would be be a 9 second car.

That would be amazing. Even a NA modded LS1 could be pushed into outrageously low 1/4 mile times for the price of a full M3 swap. It would be fearsome, and beyond the scope of all but the most highly modded M3 turbo set up.

To solve this problem you get a custom made carbon fiber engine cover that says bmw. When people ask you about it say it's a prototype and that you work for bmw engineering or something..

Nash was/is a member of this forum. It uses a T56 transmission, IIRC.

[thekinwc]

don't see his name in the members list.

[davep-uk]

he might not be a supporter. only site supporters get their name on the list.

because we are special.

[thekinwc]

Special? Well let me say this slowly then. I....am....on....the.....list....but....not.....a...... su......pporter.

[aceyx]

I may have been smoking crack, but I remember him hawking his kit on here.

[DustenT]

isn't that bmwdrifter?

This is what he's running:
'95 Ti w/ '96 Vortech 5.7L, headers, 2 1/2" duals, Vodoo cam, A/T trans w/ manual valve body, 535is diff w/ extra plates to get 80% lock, B&M Hammer shifter, chromemolly cage, seam welded, 4" ride height. I have been a little busy the last few months but should be running again soon

it was a joke. i thought you meant the supporters list.

never mind. :rolleyes:

[thekinwc]

Forgive me, my humor is a bit harsh. I was just kidding as well. I appreciate your humor.

[davep-uk]

[evalha007]
