Its damn loud now in revs over 3000rpm, not that dont like it but donno if thats a rattling chain or its cause of different camshaft is there and the cat is out LOL I need to drive a stock iS to know the difference.

as long as its not the timing chain - have you already upgraded it to a hydraulic version?

Me want to have a nice video can you make one Alex? Maybe you can compare it with my stock iS in June but dont think that this will ever happen

.

btw: is the whole mod legal in .cz? I mean even without upgrading the brakes, ....?

ARMAN · « **Reply #21 on:** 12-Mar-2008, 00:56:05 »

it is timing chain forsure... donno I have to have a ride in stock iS to see the difference.

MIHALS can make a vid when we meet next week with Dani, i dont have camera. And you sir continue to search for a good iS, it is somewere out there waiting for you

Well to make it fully legal I need to pay to bmw importer the engine swap in papers its about 100€ maybe a bit more. I will do it a bit later. I have all disc brakes and suspention is partually Mtech so its ok.

Timing chain tensioner might be loose.. definitely want to get that fixed ASAP!

Has the lightened flywheel made a big difference? Thinking I should go for one when I install a new clutch.

I dont know what difference it makes, i have to drive stock iS to see the difference

fuel consuption dropped 1l/100km comparing to consuption of old engine before the swap and now I was driving hard and revved alot to get to know the new toy

well its not 5l/100

its 9,7l/100km but pretty good for 19 y.o. engine

MIHALS · « **Reply #24 on:** 14-Mar-2008, 23:13:19 »

see, first days and your new engine already started helping you save money

see ya next wednesday

More power, same weight, better mileage

and keep in mind you save gas by accelerating up to cruising speed as fast as possible. I usually gun it in 1st and 2nd then throw it into 4th or 5th.

that what I was doing no teen-like drag racing on the lights but gaining speed much faster than before

so you needed 10,7l / 100km with the M40 318i? :-o I need 7,5-9,0 (depending on my throttle position)

Hope you dont get a serious timing chain problem - Friend of mine restored it in his iS and the parts alone were already quite expensive (~400euros)

btw: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE

ARMAN · « **Reply #28 on:** 16-Mar-2008, 18:59:36 »

Chain, tensioner + few other parts + work will cost about 250€ thats almost the price of the engine LOL

Thanx Freddy

I recomend the repair asap, before the engine says

As soon as I see a white 318is in my rearview mirror........ I'll leave a dark dense cloud of black smoke and will dissapear into the horizon

Nice shots with the "trashcam"... what is that? a camera phone? they look pretty good!

ARMAN · « **Reply #32 on:** 14-Jun-2008, 20:29:47 »

trashcan is the car, trashcam is some one-button olympus

16" i have now

ohhh tempted 17"

danidmas · « **Reply #39 on:** 21-Sep-2008, 22:12:26 »

I think your current 16in wheels in black already look great, no need to go for those 17in... if they were BBS and for a good price then I could reconsider my opinion but now, I'd say stick with the 16in
