Wow it's been a while since I've updated this thread

Let's see.... the car has been off the road for the last 6-7 months while I save and stock pile parts.

I've been driving an auto civic around..... yes a civic, please don't think bad of me :worship:

:P

So, now for the parts.

RB26 cam covers, also picked up the cam gear backing plate and a pair of -10 breathers

The cam covers were sent to be painted earlier in the week, just waiting on the baffles for them

The car is due on the hoist hopefully monday. Drop the gearbox and pull out the old sump and install the new one.

Install everything else then work out what fittings I need and measure up lines

So keen to start the work.

After months of saving and stocking up parts it's time to get started

When I got to my mates places early yesterday morning and walked in to the garage to see this I was jumping around like a school girl. :D

I was finally able to get my hands dirty with this car

We dropped the gearbox, removed the clutch and flywheel and removed the old sump.

Couldn't belive what we had to take off to get to 2 small screws at the rear of the sump.

Also noticed that my passanger side engine mount is completely screwed so both mounts will be changed, Nismo mounts of course :P

We hit a bit of a snag late yesterday afternoon. After removing the timing belt, harmonic balancer then the oil pump, we found that the new billet gears I've got are to big for this pump.

It looks like they are for an N1 oil pump. So my mate was going today to get it swapped for the correct gears as well as pick up the new engine mounts.

So that's it so far. I'm back at work for the next 3 nights so I won't be able to get stuck in to the work until saturday afternoon/night but with my mate being on holidays, he'll be able to pump out a fair bit until them.

Got a problem with the intake manifold though. On the stock runners it sits to far to the left and the throttle body hits the fuse box.

Not sure if there is a difference between the 33 and 34 manifold but something does seem right with this.

I'm going to have to head to plazmaman on monday before work

There is a different between 33 & 34 manifold - one of them is the the Idle Air valve. But if yours fit on the manifold then it means you've got the right one.

I was told you dont need to relocate anything to install these. Keen to see what the issue turns out to be.

      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.
