So..how many FI E28s are on the road................

[Duke]

or in project form?

TCD, how many kits have you sold?

[Yellow2]

i got 1

[Tjn182]

I got one too

[Jeremy]

I'd guess that there's fewer than 100 total turbo e28s between the US and Canada.* That includes Dinan, Calloway, Cartech, TCD, and any other oddball makers out there.

Jeremy (has one as well)

*This is, of course, pure speculation on my part without a lick of data to back it up.

Id guess more than 100 in US/Canada. Especially if you include td's. Id think in the 200-250 range? But again, like you said, just a guess.

and its nice

[RDAvena]

another daily driver

[Aaron from Aus]

Yep...but work in Progress. No hurry. (mines a BAE Kit from TCD)

I was all keen at first when i got my manifold...then lost a bit of interest...Work and shit.

but i got to sit in someones M10 Turbo...Yikes!

Whod imagine you could make a little M10 do that...So i have the turbo Bug back bad...I really can not wait to be able to take it off the road and start working on it. Got nearly everything i need to start.

Ive been watching( (reading) your Turbo build Duke..man ..I feel so sorry for you having to keep doing all that work...always so close..but not quite there..hope it goes well this time.

Duke,

It finally lives! This is my red '87 535is you helped me start to take apart at the end of July 2005. I ended up replacing the engine and getting the Spec clutch. It runs but has a few issues before it can be a daily driver. However, I did drive it to Columbia, MD and back, which is over 100 miles.

I still need to fine tune the engine. It has an idle issue I haven't figured out yet. Also, I have some new control arms I bought a year ago with Paul Grey bushings that I need to install and the front passenger side need a new wheel bearing. It could also use new tires.

Once these are done, it will be a limited daily driver. Since I drive 25-30,000 miles per year, I bought a '96 318ti Sport for better gas mileage.

I will definitely be autocrossing it next season, but I figure I'll finish out this season in the stock class with the 318ti.

GREAT NEWS................believe me, I know you pain on this. I am very happy you have it on the road............so, was it worth it?

I will be driving my car by Tuesday next week!!!

[Steve in No Va]

Yeah, it was worth it to me. I see the potential to make it a monster. It's just a long, hard road, but it is almost there.

I guess I just have the building bug because I keep thinking about doing a Downing Atlanta supercharger on the 318ti. There is also a guy that has a kit to put an Chevy LS1 and 6 speed in the e36. Due to the aluminum block, this weighs about the same as the m52/s52 with a lower CG and the weight is farther back in the body.

Of course the guy managed to total it on a race track soon after he finished it, but I bet it was pretty wild up to that point.

My brother has my old 3rd gen '93 RX-7 and is seriously thinking about this conversion for his car. Sport Compact Car mag compared one with a race RX-7 last month and liked it alot. They stated that with the right tires, the LS1 RX-7 would have spanked the race ready RX-7 on the road course and it was a much more tractable car without losing the 50/50 balance due to the light weight of the motor. They said: think of it as a light weight Corvette instead of a bastardized RX-7.

[cwl4m5]

there was a guy that wrecked a 318 with that set up at Pacific Raceways near Seattle about a month ago. Prior to that it had an e36 m3 engine in it. It was a nice ride.

[Steve in No Va]

Bingo! That's the guy. He said a car threw oil on the track and he hit it. The car supposedly did some end over end flips. Sounded like a wicked crash, but he was unhurt due to the roll cage and competition belts he wisely installed in the car.

[zundfoldge]

count me in. i got one too. project form but still driving. waiting on manifold to ship from the uk. im wating to buy tcd's electronics , chip, injectors, or there ms setup. id like that.

[Soco]

I hope to be a part of that crowd myself in the somewhat near future.

I'll let you guys know whats going on when I get working on it.
