Ouch, but I suppose if its in the name of going fast then its worth it!

Yeah that would be ideal. Depends (loosely) on the type of thing that you use.

What does this flap do then control exhaust/inlet gas flow between the two turbos?

And what sort of device are you planning to use to move it?

oh right, so its the little flap in the exhaust that he wants controlled?

Good thanks mate, and yourself? I just think your projects brill, so would very much like to see the finished results...and as for effort....well I think you've won that round! What do you actually have and need then for inputs and outputs, and do you have some ideas for voltages? Then I can be a lo...

Okies mate, ideal. Don't really know why I didn't leave a message. lol.

Will try again tomorrow, because its a bit late now, and you probably don't wanna think about work, and I am too tired to think!

So hopefully speak to you tomorrow mate. Cheers again

I've got a pretty good idea....find a real engine for your e30, and do the right thing, and then think about selling me the engine, so that I can get on with my current theroetical project, and put it in a metro!

I have rung Ant on and off for few days, at a few different intervals in the day, and have never managed to actually get him to pick up the phone (and everyone please don't take this as me giving him sh1t) I will try again, as I do need to get hold of the flanges, so looking forward to speaking to h...

Think this may have already been covered, but if not then you may be able to work out the range of rates you need for the PWM and then choose the size of capacitor that you need, and then use the size of the variable resistor to change the frequency of the circuit. Using a 555 Astable f=1.44(R2/R1+2...

fozzymonster, does the bonnet close with that stonking great snail in there? I presume not. But if so, are you allowed the exhaust housing sticking out of the bonnet...I would presume not because it gets very hot!

Does anyone actually know if it is allowed? In MOT etc. relations

yeah that looks basically ideal, other than i want it to be top mount. Although I suppose that design of the manifold could quite easily be adapted to be made top mount. whilst we're on the subject, what has everyone done for oil lines, return isnt a problem, just TIG weld a little pipe into the sum...

Only just realised...obviously this post applies to people that have had manifolds built for any engine, as i believe most of them are the same?

So the 6cyl. boys can join in this one!

Do any of you guys that have had turbo conversions done know much about the manifolds that you have had built? I need a set of flanges that bolt to the head on the exhaust manifold side, and I can't seem to find them any where. Might end up getting the, CNC'd at this rate. If anyone has information ...

yeah I have a valve spring compressor, its just quite old, and was quite cheap at the time. I'm going to buy another one when i get paid tomorrow, and just wait to take the other 7 valves out, just to be sure of not causing any damage. does anyone have any idea why BMW would use double valve springs...

my m40'd 318i did this a few weeks back, did it for about three days on and off, and has been fine ever sinc. everytime i tried to fix it, it wouldn't do it, and then it just stopped....i was figuring TPS, but it definately can't be that on yours being carbed. Oh,I almost forgot, mine didn't die whe...

Just got around to dismantling a spare M40 head I have for a rebuild. Taken the first inlet valve (closest to the timing end) out, and it was an absolute pr1ck to get out. Pulled the colletts out, and the retainer off of the top, and it has two valve springs (one inside the other). Is that standard ...

As a slightly random aside (and not an effort to hi-jack the topic!) Do you get all of this information from somewhere? Or is it all from your head?! Don't tell anyone, but half of it comes straight out of the E30 owner's handbook, that originally came with your car. I presumed that the really simp...

Alarm designers/fitters use different terminology from me, but the C/L is momentarily earthed to operate, so I would assume this is 'negative pulsed'. yeah thats the one mate, spot on! and cheers for the fuse! As a slightly random aside (and not an effort to hi-jack the topic!) Do you get all of th...

and whilst im at it, does anyone know what number is the fuse for the interior light, and the constant for the stereo please?

cheers guys

yeah i've got an E30 down 40/40 on the 14" BBS, and frankly it just doesn't look low enough...scrapes the mudflaps on everything though

nearly finished mine now, after having wiring threading, and rain problems

does anybody happen to know if the central locking is a "negative pulsed" system?

why don't you pull the wheel off, and measure it with verniers, then you can be 100% sure you're not wasting cash!

the neatest, and probably easiest way, would be to work out exactly where you want the pipes to go, and from that what bends and straight sections you need, and just buy all of the seperate bits from someone like Samco or SFS hoses. Alternatively you would work out the route, and then get the pipes ...

Yeah, my outside lights have two seperate bulbs in them...a sidelight, and a dipped beam, So you reckon changing the dipped beam to a dual fillament bulb (obviously on both sides) would solve the problem? (she's an '88 with the smiley lights :D...if that helps) And then I'd have to do something abou...

only takes 5 minutes to put the light back in if it is naughty

would you happen to know why its illegal to have non symetrical headlights?

I fitted an open cone filter to my 318i about three days ago, and it made it p1ss slow...so i decided that out of a paint tin, and some form of washing machiene/tumble dryer bracket i would custom make my own enclosed filter. Looks pretty tidy, works pretty well...but after thinking about it again.....

lol cheers mate...had the ecu reset by our local beemer dealership to start with, after the software we had wasn't any good, and it didn't make any difference... after that we replaced the alternator, after finding charging problems with the one that was on there, and now she runs sweet as. :D im pr...

had another look today, and i believe it may be a balljoint...it looks kinda shagged, but ill pull the wheel off tomorrow, and see if it is what i think it is...hope not, because they are a bit of a knob to change!

i believe the set of 8 tappits are just over Ã‚£80 including VAT, and yeah the job isn't that hard, it just takes a little while to do.

Ant wrote: Crap Turbo= Xs-Power

lets not even start there lol, as soon as people see the prices they might start getting ideals in their heads

apparently if you want to shut it up, then you can replace all of the tappits and followers....yay

which when i do the timing gear, and headgasket next month i think i will do aswell...in the vain hope that it stops its damn clicking

had the springs off of a mates 318 for breaking to go on mine, on the pretense that they were 60mm drop... during fitting the last front one i noticed that it is stamped on them that they are only a 40mm drop, grrr... but anyhoo the problem is that when i fitted them there was a slight knock...and i...

...once again you appear to have hi-jacked my topic

a little bit too much dollar for me at the moment mate, but cheers anyways

lol...i'll swap the engine for the bourbet b's in your sig :P (and on a serious note if you wanna sell them then PM me!) been through a bit more today after the suggestion of the batteries....and the alternator is buggered. only puts out 9v :(....so ordered a new one from our local bmw garage.....Ã‚...
