I thinking of rebuilding my engine, insted of the swap... but it seems not many of you rebuilt. What connecting rod have you guys used? Pistons? overbore? cams? How many Lbs of boost with them??? How many of you guys blew your engine? what went on it first? Thanks Chino __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 03-13-2006, 07:49 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 | You could try emailing Raima (used to post here). He rebuilt the motor on his ti and was making some pretty impressive numbers. As for pistons, rods, etc you're probably going to have to send in one. I doubt many companies have the specs for the M44/2 on hand. | | | 03-13-2006, 09:52 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | as i heard, you can rebuild the engine to 1.9 to 2.1 or so right? After throwing in the 2.1, can you still throw in the DASC or stage 3 masc? | | | 03-13-2006, 04:18 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Virginia Posts: 247 | I blew my engine: The thermostat was messed up and then the water pump went. __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it! http://www.geocities.com/evalha/bmwsmaller.JPG | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
