I want to plonk the m57 and 6 speed auto out the x5 in a td6, this x5 has been mapped to 300bhp and 440ibft, its fairly lively compared too the td6sShirley it’s not at that point yet
If it's the GM box, it barely copes with the standard M57.I want to plonk the m57 and 6 speed auto out the x5 in a td6, this x5 has been mapped to 300bhp and 440ibft, its fairly lively compared too the td6s

M57 tu 204/218bhp stock not the boat anchor 184bhp lumps the td6s are, and its a 6hp26 gearboxIf it's the GM box, it barely copes with the standard M57
No its a m57 tu, so wide block with 6hp26 like whats found in the 2004 onwards 5 seires, not the same as the 184/177 td6 lumps at allEx po po?
Damn, that's some mod work you got going on there. Very very few of of us on here do serious mods like your doing and this may be above some of us to answer dude.Anyone with any experience with fitting Ashcroft 4.12 ratio ring and pinions to p38 diffs?
My brother and i have been busy with this all weekend.
First question: when he ordered the new ring and pinions he just ordered 2 sets without paying attention to having a reverse cut ring and pinion for the front diff. But after some searching it doesn't seem that Ashcroft sells a 4.12 with reverse cut for the p38. So do we just fit the normal cut to the front diff?
Second question: This is the first time we are rebuilding a diff and after a whole afternoon of adjusting shims this is the pattern we got. How does this pattern look?View attachment 337696View attachment 337697
Yes, you're not the first to find that. I think the only way to be sure is to pull it and check what you have. There was a big discussion on it ages ago.
I also remember a long (heated) discussion on whether it was safe to swap rear to front. Someone mentioned the teeth wore asymetrically so it might be worth doing it anyway and then someone else said they were designed to only go one way. I just don't know enough about it but I trust James (Martin)'s judgement on the matter.
Yeah thats pretty much the conclusion i came to too. Itll work to run a normal cut ring and pinion in the front but its gonna be abit more noisey and wear faster and be weaker(but the fact thats its only an 8 tooth pinion makes it way stronger than stock). On the plus side though you can reverse under power without breaking your front diffThere was a debate about this some time ago with the 2/4pin diff variations. As far as I remember the one needs to be reverse cut to avoid long term wear. Bemble would probably know
