E30 Zone

here's one of my e34... Same color and body style, just bigger haha.

20% on the rear 3 and 35% in the front i think...

it would have fit no problems in my car but i have a feeling that this is cause i have a lhd car and most of you are rhd..

of course i didn't keep it hahaha

you know how heavy those damn compressors are??

sounds sick man! i had a buddy with an e34 540i 6speed and he did straight pipes all the way back and it sounded totally insane!!! 4cam v8 FTW!

can't wait to see the thing running

yes i can drive around with the hood lifted up, i would just prefer not to. it is only like 50 - 60 here during the day so no its not hot and in the morning its is around 45. i can't remember if you guys are F or C so celsius would be about 10-15 degrees during the day and only just over 7 in the mo...

just while going slow, once i'm on the freeway i'm ok it stays about 1/4. but i just don't get why it would overheat if others aren't having this issue with just an electric fan and no heater. i filled the full system when the car was totally cold and waited till it was spilling out of the bleeder v...

no the fan is definitely wired correctly as i just have it hardwired with an on/off switch straight from the power block. I have it on the pusher setup, it just doesn't seem to cool off the big motor. how many cfm are you guys running in yours without cooling issues?? I'm starting to wonder if it ha...

Hey one more question for you guys. I have a 14" electric fan mounted as a pusher on the front of the radiator. This is a fan that claims 2950cfm of air flow. The car is still overheating in traffic even with the heater on full blast... shouldn't the 2950cfm be enough to cool the motor?? or do i hav...

i had another thought. if you look in the 5th picture at the set of spark wires off the "dizzy" cap you can clearly see a sensor that goes around one of the leads. I am not worried about which one cause the old one is still there but it broke off. first, what is this sensor for and second, would it ...

filter is brand new, pump may be an issue, injectors have only been in for 5k mi. leads i'll have to check. on a side note my fuel level gauge was at about 1/3 tank and i was on the freeway doing 60 and it all of a sudden started rising up to full. got to full tank then stayed there for a little bit...

thanks guys. any ideas on the fuel cut issue??

oze30 let me know what you want pics of and i'll see if i have it. its just the ireland engineering 25mm front and 22mm rear sways

i didn't add any extra ones no. i put in the stromung rear section from the e30 m3 from understeer.com the whole system is dual 2".

I just replaced cap, rotor, plugs and i'm using the coil from my e34. I'm going to try the e30 coil tonight maybe.
Could this be fuel related??? rather than spark

funny thing. i posted this at work and then got in the car to go home... did nothing all of a sudden the temp gauge works!!!!

no idea why it wasn't before but oh well must be a loose connection somewhere

tried it and i actually have a full thread going in this forum about it too. i do have one question though. I have a fuel cut issue. when just revving and such its fine but ocassionally when i try to floor it, the car will seem like it goes into fuel cut and the car hesitates real bad. anyone else h...

I am using the m30 ecu. the m30 loom didn't work because it was all the drive by wire throttle and couldn't be reused for this application. I'm using the full harness from a 1987 325i so that it had the 3 rows of pins to mate up with my m30 ecu. people have done this before with the m20 eta conversi...

ya
cat's aren't too bad but the few extra horsies wouldn't hurt...

in terms of temp the car had been warmed up, the temp gauge doesn't work and i'm still trying to figure that out.

until then i'm running the heater full blast with my electric fan on over-ride with a switch.

THanks for the comments!

^^ This is what it looks like right now^^^

that's the problem, i don't have a black plug from my m20 harness. i had to use the engine harness off of a 1987 325i and there is a brown one and a blue one but no black on from the injector harness. Is it the really long wire with one pin that has a black plug? According to strictlyeta.net that wa...

the gauge supposedly worked before. i'm just going to buy a universal gauge and plug it in somewhere.
thanks driftboy i hadn't ever noticed that picture was a link...

I just finished gettin my m30 e30 all running and my temp gauge won't work. I tried changing the sensor out for the old m20 sensor but either i have the wrong plug or it won't work. I'm just going to wire in a universal temp gauge but i was wondering what temperature was 1/2 way in terms of degrees ...

does anyone know why the m20 sensor has to be used? i would assume a temp sensor is a temp sensor.

i had an m20 engine in before. the problem is i'm using a 87 325 I harness because my pre facelift e30 didn't match up with the e34 plugs as it was a drive by wire throttle. so i had to convert the harnesses. i've tried reusing th stock e34 sensors but it obviously doesn't work so i'm wondering if i...

you sure its a single pin? i have one with 2 pins on it and then i have a black on that is a single pin

just finished it up!!!
dual 2" all the way back with magnaflow dual in dual out cat. I'll probably put in cutouts later just for fun but we'll see... exhaust rear section is a e30 m3 section from understeer.com

enjoy!

where is the m20 temperature sender supposed to be used? in the thermostat housing? or in the radiator and which color plug goes to the temp gauge. mine isn't working and the constant heater is gettin old as a safeguard...

i got it figured out. i had to buy a harness from the 87 325i so that it would have the 3 rows of pins on the ecu side and the engine plug side jsut screws in !!! can't wait to get it in. i got the harness yesterday as well as the e30.de brackets, IE urethane mounts, new h20 pump, cap and rotor, bos...

i thought it was going to plug in as well but with my car the plugs don't mate up. i bought a 325i harness from 87 with three rows of pins on the ecu side so that my e34 ecu will plug into that and then i just have to modify a few small things and i don't have a bunch of unecesary wiring running aro...

in my e34 535i i had the same plug and it ran to the 02 sensor coming out of the cats

seattle washington

So i have an 86 325i with a bad starter and i'm unsure of the engine condition because it hasn't been running for very long. I happen to have a 91 535i that i recently wrecked unfortunately. but out of every loss comes something good and for me that means putting the 3.5l m30 into the e30 shell. Her...

Just found out all I need is the potentiometer for the throttle pedal for it all to work. The third temp sensor is part of the fly by wire. how easy is this to fit into the e30. i have an e34 535i that has electronic throttle and would like to keep it rather than have to get a new tb... I have the ...
