Definately go easy on these cannon fodder There was me thinking you were taking a trip to manc to get jon to fix the 1st one

Even the flu could not stop you getting to Manchester to get the heads. Good find. Great to see that the project is back on.

by any chance would VW or similar cars be the same? Some of the M42/44 guys use VW buckets AFAIK.

i dunno if vw buckets are the same size but i do know they have the same shim arrangement, i.e the shim sits in the top of the bucket, which is what im trying to get away from

M42 use 35mm buckets (and there are shim under options - I have Eurospec buckets for my M42). Supertech have buckets for S14s (link).

Also Graham have you seen pics of the chopped up S14 head on S14power.com (UweM3)? These could be useful.

Lovely bit of kit Graham, are you missing many parts now to build the engine or is it all porting and machining now?

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

as of today i've just won a schrick 292 and 284 cam on ebay so i've now got all the major bits

What exactly is that Crank Graham? apart from looking fab?

[Graham]

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

custom made EN40B steel billet from fardon, 91mm stroke will give 2580cc with a 95mm bore

and how long did that take farndon?

Niiiiice, man that's going to be a sweet engine!

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

Great to hear you have gathered some of the most important parts, the cams will surely add a lot more power potential, can't wait to hear this monster when its finnished

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

so what was the plan? 11,000 rpm?

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

so what was the plan? 11,000 rpm?

not with a monster 91mm stroke! the auzzy steel rods are recond to be safe to 10k, but they didnt envisage my crank! or a near std top end!

the cams probably give me 280+bhp potential, as long as a lash up of exhaust and inlet manifolding dont rob me too much power

but sod what it makes i just want to get it together now!

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

ok finally got something done on the car itself today, i bolted a scrap 1.8 block in so i could get on with sorting the exhaust manifold




i recently aquired some m5 exhaust manifolds with a possible view to using 2/3 of them to make a manifold, 2 or 3 of the branches would of gone quite easily, it would of been very difficult to connect the 4th cylinder to make a 4 into 1 and nigh on impossible to build a 421, so i opted to cut the flanges off and weld them to my existing ashley pinto/bmw m10 manifold




so far only got the middle branches done strangely it was harder doing this than turning the pinto manifold into a bmw one in the first place

[Graham]

Re: A race bmw 316, 240bhp Atmo M10 now going s14 power!

ex manifolds now sporting s14 flanges just got to do a little work cleaning the internal joins up, poor things had a hard life, it was secondhand and beaten up when i got it having previously lived on a rally car



unfortunatly after a bit of meassuring up i've realised having bought a more radical cam than i ever invisaged using at this stage im back to valve piston clearance issues
