Re: Any Suggestions ive given up e36 window regs (compact)
The compact has plastic sliders in the window regulators change these and re-align and grease the sliders as once they pop out plastic clips are broken and dont retain the window all will be good after replacing the plastic sliders they are £1.69 each

Re: megasquirt, Q's
just a small calculation for you steve:
CR = SV+CCV+HGV+DHV+EDV
CCV+HGV+DHV+EDV
Where CR = compression ratio
CCV = combustion chamber volume
HGV = head gasket volume
DHV = deck height volume
EDV = effective dome volume
SV = swept volume
CR = SV+CCV+HGV+DHV+EDV
CCV+HGV+DHV+EDV
Where CR = compression ratio
CCV = combustion chamber volume
HGV = head gasket volume
DHV = deck height volume
EDV = effective dome volume
SV = swept volume

Re: megasquirt, Q's
They can run with out ICV no need for it i have run both my conversions with out them so U/S in my book I initially had mine without the ICV connected, but it was a b*tch to cold start, as you would have to keep revving it because as soon as you took your foot off the throttle, it would stall, whic...

Re: megasquirt, Q's
too much internal lateral friction as the engine becomes "square" as the bore and stroke are very close never seen one make the claimed output but thats just me for ease i would work out what the CR is on your current engine. Take spare head machine down for extra CR.... we are olny talkin 0.001 mm ...

Re: megasquirt, Q's
See Flappysocks' website www.diyefi.co.uk I had one of his on a Tech 2 Sport and it was OK, although only mapped on 'Autotune', so probably not optimised. As above, MS doesn't need a MAF or AFM - you can run it purely on the throttle body! Cold start issues are probably down to not having the idle ...

so thats 1 over bore idealy steve you will need 320 engine complete re bore/ hone block to STD b25 size 84.2 mm skim block by the magic magic amount to gain optimum CR about 11to12.5 static use 320 rods with 325 pistons with the skirts machined down ( to make them light) less receprecating (spelling...

you can convert the car to motronic if required not easy but it can be done there was a thread on here then you can have a M20 2.5 2.7 , 2.8 if required. but the conversion to motronic 1.1 or 1.3 can be done with a few days spare and reasonable mechanical/ electrical knowledge
