ok guys, i'm losing my licence for 3 months, which means.. eh - cant drive the car :D

so... im selling the RB20DET motor out of it, to make way for a new project.

It's a series2 r32 motor... i have a hiflow turbo on there, which i would consider selling separate, yes.

the motor is reliable and strong... however to be honest, it does use a bit of oil, and the turbo's fine... so im assuming the rings have probably gone/starting to. if ur not worried about it, and are willing to top it up every week to be safe, then who cares? :D

this motor pulled my r31 passage gt along to a 13.82 1/4mile pass at 17psi. so it does have some omph, but would go heaps better with a rebuild.

Im looking for:

Turbo: $500

Motor: $700

Or might work out a price for both...

Im located in brisbane. The motor and turbo are still in the car, so if anyone's interested, they can 'try' the motor while its still running.

P.S. No loom or ecu.

:cheers:

mine's actually a series1 but i've done a few things :)

converted front end to import s3

converted interior from blue pimp, to black sport

converted from rb20et, to r32 rb20det... then hiflow turbo.... now t3/t4 :)

put some wheels on it.

fixed up rear end sag - commonly known for this (IRS)

Hey Beannie,

Sorry to hear about the licence, I've still got 8 weeks to go on mine (lost it for 6 months... 3 months will go quick, trust me)...

The turbo, is it just a stock RB20 turbo, hiflowed, or is it some other brand?

I'm interested.

cheers

Sciby.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
