R25 000

The sleeve bit was a joke. What im saying is that in order to call an enjin a stroker you have to increase the stroke = deferent crank + longer conrods. Why yust not bore the shit out of it and still have something thats willing to rev? Cause a longer stroke might give you alot more talk but it wouldnt rev that well.

hahahaha - a lot more talk!!!

dig that! 😂 😂 😂

Ok....checked out the bimmer last night,318 body, body needs some attention....not too much, 333 engine with a stroker kit to 3.7, gotec pro management.... roughly around 140 kw on the wheels.

Some oil leeks from the tappet cover(because of high compression according to owner)

So what you dudes think?

333 That is stil a four cylinder isnt it?

No....6

Ive got a book on bmw history somewhere, ill double check on that.
@VC talk = big beat no speed 😀

a power to noise converter???

Sory Derick my fault it a six but something came out in a four maybe the first M3(maybe not here ill check). Did you drive it?

VC it reminds me of my 50cc volume control instead of a throttle.

The 3.3 motor was taken from the 7 series - so it will not be a rev happy thing like a 325is, but will have plenty of torques. Also - if it is in a 318 body I hope it doesn't have 318 brakes (especially find out if it is a 318 master cylinder - they are shit, 318s don't wanna stop cause mc too small - change to a 325 unit).

Doubtful of the compression story - stressed BMW 6 cylinder motors are bulletproof except for one thing: Some cylinder heads have a tendency to crack due to a) boost or b)high temps. They can be welded if the crack is obvious but will inevitably fail again - so find out how much for a replacement head before buying.

Will try to rack my brain for other stuff to check for.

The original (E30) M3 was a four cylinder, 2.3 litre and 2.5 litre (Evo and Evo Sport). Had special body panels, suspension, brakes, etc. Was an awesome machine - there are a few of them in SA, owned by collectors.

You will NOT get one of them for R25k though....

Thanks for the info....forgot to say, it has a "billit" cam aswell.

ok dudes.....apart from the bm, the honda guy is willing to go for 25 000, my fiance likes it more.

So....it seems the honda it is....depending on events during the day....

Oh yes - the one thing the BMW has to get credit is that spares are fairly cheap and attainable - Bemows!!! Except for the fancy motor - obviously.

Did someones avatar read "V-tec all of the lack none of the boost"?

PS I like honda , i yust like turbo rear wheel drive more.

Hay Draco...

Can you give us more info on the Honda like what year model is it? What 1.6I V-Tec Motor is it (B16?) What turbo kit has the guy fitted? What compression ratio is it running? What management system is it running? What Turbo? Has he up rated the clutch system? Was the motor opened and if so why and what was changed!

I’m not being rude dude, I totally agreed with you to go with the turbo car at these altitudes and I have seen a number of Tec Turbo’s punish bigger cars it just going to voortrekkers (OK I admit I sometimes go) I have seen many Tec with slap stick turbo conversions that don’t last the night sorry for the long story just explaining why I’m asking all these questions

I would walk away from both, a second hand turbo'd honda and a hack job 318, eish....

As Enzio said, you dont want a 318 body, the 325's and up had discs all round, battery in the boot standard, bigger brakes and MC.

I've also seen how turbo'd honda drivers drive... Honda's arent cheap to fix...

I think in both cases you will be buying someone elses problems 🙁 personally I would find a relatively stock car and start with that, but if you happy with one of these and dont mind the possibility of it all falling apart and needing to fix, then go for it...

No probs bunny man....

before I answer your quiestions, I chose this because this is what is availible and gives the power I am looking for more importantly, my fiance approved this one.....she has the money so can't really tell her tuff what she thinks, I would love an sx or an rwd car but find me one in okayish nick and that beats luminas for 25K....I'll buy it!!!!!

Back to the question bunny, it is a yellow one, I think 96...not sure, it is the B16 engine....imported v-tec, T28 garret turbo, custom manifold built...looks kak but does the job, dicktator management, bigger fuel pump, 550cc injectors, clutch upgraded, not button but "modified" for the power.

standard internals, thicker HG for lower compression.

All this done by smart racing, got all this from them.

Look, I am not fooled here, I know this car has been driven hard for a while, it does not look hot but does what I need at the moment....a play car....

Play car???? FWD????

Do you wanna play with the light switches and knobs inside the car????

Go RWD!!! 😂 😂 😂

Thanks sokar, this is my reasoning....get a standard car....that needs fixing in anyway,what car for 25k will be good and working...fix it, turbo it, management....injectors...fuel pump....you looking at around 15k just for that depending on commision for installer....

compare that to turbo fail...R3500, or or or....

I already got a quote, if I rebuilt that engine with forged pistons and conrods and all for higher boost, I'd look around 12k....

Love to....find me one for 25k.......

Draco im not in a position to give advice cause i didnt follow it when i bought my sx. But them old folk say " Haastige hond verbrand sy mond" i know its not easy to wait but they say that when good things come. Im not good at that but i think it would be good if you shop around a bit more.
