Flex Fuel RB25 swapped BMW daily driver

So i live in Bangkok and this is my daily D, trying not to touch this one again until the my E30 comes to life.
Blog post with a few more pictures and story here: E36-RB25 swap

FOR SALE Sad to let her go but i know she will find a good home

For local Thailand buyers: Street legal car I can easily register the car under your name and help out with all the paper work if needed. ***LOTS of cheap amazing circuit tracks in Thailand ready for the E36 no license required***

For International buyers: I can arrange for export and shipping as required, please PM me.

$7,000 USD including export see freight***

Buyers keeping the car in Thailand (lots or easy to access tracks ready to play on).
$5000 usd and i will transfer all registration into your name and give free indoor storage in Bangkok for 1 year (CCtv 24/7).

****You DO NOT need to be Thai resident or have any special paper work to own or register the car in your name****

Trying to buy a property in Hokkaido!



RB25det engine/transmission swap (custom mounts/oil pan)
VE dual pass radiator
VE coolant swirl pot
2.5” Aluminum intercooler pipes (Brewed Fabricated)
GT-R intercooler with modified end tanks
VE Intake manifold (forward facing TB and raised velocity stacks)
Stock exhaust manifold/turbo with external wastegate (funky EWG setup came with the engine) **future VE twin scroll manifold with Borg Warner FMW 62mm turbo**
3” exhaust, 1 muffler with dual 3” VE Y pipe axle back
AEM methanol/ethanol 320lph pump
AEM V2 ems 30-6620
Flex fuel sensor kit
4 piston toyota calipers (front)
2 piston r32 calipers (rear)
Bilstein front struts/lowering springs
BC rear Coilovers



Over all fun car to drive real nice on the highway. Very much looking to get the FMW S362 and VE manifold in the car but must finish E30 first. Roads here range from good to ...... some nicely valved Fortune Auto coils would be quite helpful.



E36 of course rocks full interior, stereo, AC, etc. and with 250-320 HP (depending on fuel available) scoots along quite nice and actually gets decent fuel economy at 10 KPL city and 11.5 KPL highway.

thailand is a great place for turbo motors - e85 is pretty readily available all over the place.

Thanks much, ya she took a good bit of love to get her where she is now. Even with the stock turbo (ceramic wheel) limited at ~15psi its quick when running on E85

remote mounted PC with this display screen (not more than 20mm if i recall) or tablet options. My V8 E46 will use a remote mounted PC with 1 screen for dash display and one touch screen for center console.

No matter what system: Tablet, remote mounted pc with 1 to 4 display screens all systems are set up for 12 volt and easy/automatic communication options with custom software specifically set up for your ECU/EMS and engine build/available sensors.
