Ahh right, that explains it then. Thanks for that Brian! And no probs Steve lol

Hi all, couple of questions for you, 1) can you tell me what the blue relay is behind the glovebox which connects to the multi pin connector? I think it's the fuel pump relay? 2) can anyone tell me what all the connections on this plug are for? It's behind the glovebox by the side of the sliding plu...

heres the link to the wiring diagram I made when I did mine.
cheers
Kev

the first one is the charcoal canister that your fuel tank vapour pipe connects to but it's not really required on your conversion unless your particularly a 'greenie' (environmental saving person lol) the second one is the e36 heater matrix valve and is also not required to fit this engine to your ...

you can fit an oil cooler to the standard housing if you make the parts up like i have just done so it's not the only way by using an s50 part but if you can't machine your own parts the price will probably be cheaper to do so.

touche ha ha

my car is lightened though, but then it's short geared too so i suppose it compensates for it. i think in all honestly it would be okay as an everyday runner, although the cams idling wouldn't impress the missus lol

it does 30mpg on the way to a rally.

but 20 on it lol

I haven't had it on the rollers, but i think 150-160 is a reasonable assumption although this is based on a guess so isn't a fact. the cams are supposed to bring 10-15bhp or so the ecu remap should bring about the same, the engine is freshly rebuilt and the head skimmed so the compression is margina...

I'm considering selling my m42 engine from my rally car if you are interested? it has a set of cat cams, it's been fully rebuilt with proof etc around 2000 miles ago, has three angle valve seats cut in it, has a big bore throttle body and a fully remapped ecu (not just a chip). it also has a lightwe...

an e39 usually has a double vanos engine which has a different wiring type, canbus and therefore isn't compatible.

you need an e36 or e34 'fin' if you split it carefully and keep the parts on the same side as they came from you can pull the centre out and pry it off and press a new one back on which is the correct size.
cheers
Kev

bring it down and I'll plug it in again if you like ant
Kev

or you can machine your originals out if you have the facilities.

hmm changed my icv for my spare one and it's worse now than previously! i checked the non return valve by blowing/sucking it and it seems to be working ok and i searched high and low for air leaks but cannot find anything. I haven't removed the servo yet though to test the o ring there as i've run o...

nice one thats good news then
cheers
Kev

i'll have another look in there then, cheers for the idea.
Kev

hmm, looks like i've got to spend more money then. whoopee lol

Hi all as above really, i am getting ready to fit my m50 manifold but don't have an icv, is the m52 one suitable or is it different? also will one off a 318is or 325 fit?
cheers
Kev

hi all, getting a few issues still with my m52 conversion, it has a propensity to stall especially when applying the brakes which i put down to the vaccum change. anyway it's intermittent and annoying so i want to try and get it sorted so was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I've swapped the icv f...

35 41 1 160 611

yes, thats whats in mine.

good guy to deal with and I would happily do so again. sold him a distributor cap and he paid promptly and let me know when it arrived.
cheers
Kev

i like that 4wd one above. alot. i will have an e34 one day and that would be exactly what i'd have maybe manual though and certainly with lpg! oh and better paint lol. but ohh what an awesome barge.

there'll be two m52's in the family soon and three e30's. mint.

have you got a 'chip' in the ecu?

magic, thanks for that guys
Kev

how do all, can anyone confirm if the four door sedan and touring inside door cards are the same fitment? i.e. if a set from a touring will fit into a four door saloon?
cheers
Kev

i used the blank from a non abs m/c in my abs m/c when i removed my abs system to make the m52 airbox fit better. easy enough just whip it out and re shape the pipes to suit then remove the abs loom and ecu. any good make brake fluid will be up to the job, i only use motor factors dot 4.1 in my rall...

new pump is around £35 and is easy enough to fit if you'd want to give it a go? you'd need new antifreeze too don't forget and you could put a new thermostat in if yours is the original one? (£10 ish). as tps says the m42 (your engine name) has a timing chain which never really need changing in the ...

i used the lower one, be aware the keys aren't the best though. i got mine cut and they were a slightly different width to the originals and wouldn't open my doors. i got another cheapy cut from and trimmed it to fit the aperture in the key. it didn't come with an e30 specific wiring diagram but it ...

heres the thread where i was told it was.
Kev
(apologies for talking on your thread i won't say anymore on it i'll use pm's)

that was mine rodderz, it was on here a while back for £150 but i had no takers. i'm still waiting for payment on it so i'll give you a shout if he doesn't pay?
kev

it's a road rally Nick, so you don't need much tbh. have a look on the britishrallyforum, and nose in the road rally section for an event local to you. where is local to you anyway?
kev

it wouldn't be an e30 though if it wasn't modified in some way haha. fair enough
