Thought that I recognised some of the work on the car.

Ben did a fair bit of work on my engine to get it to a very satisfying point. All my other work was done by Ice Performance except the buggy fuel system which was done by Speed Technology and the Autronic installation which was done at Amberley before Ice Performance took over the job of building me an animal car :P

ATS in Tullamarine did all the work and the team over there are very helpful and the quality of work is good.  The motor was built by Ben at Race Pace in Bayswater which I am wrapped with.  It is very strong. (Money well spent!)

No Hi-jacking of threads here mate :P

Not sure bout all 4's. Now that we dyno at Racepace, I only get to see Rwkw.

But at last check which was back in July,I recorded 360 Rwkw at 18psi.

Now that I've got a couple more toys in there, I should be able to utilise more of my hairdryer and run some real boost.

I'll give you a final dyno figure in the next couple months when we sort some things out.

I figure the engine will be good for about another 7-9 psi but I'm gonna make sure that everything is running perfectly before I do real boosting.

Anyways, this is BIGPSI's thread. Enough bout me. Soz bout the hijack....

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
