Are you using a spherical bearing in those?
I'm in the process of making my own at the moment and need to find a bearing for them.

well after having a closer look at my pistons and this site http://www.bmwccn.no/rogaland/Mahle_m20.html i've determined that this motor actually has a CR of 9:1 which isn't entirely bad, it makes everything easier, such as: cooling, preventing detonation and boosting.

I've read that it runs ok on the L-Jet, a bit lean at the top end though, so i was going to use that for running in as you shouldn't really be trying to tune a new engine (if it runs rich the fuel can wash some of the oil off the bores) then once it's run in i'll move up to MS.

IIRC there were 2 cams for the 325i's depending on if it had a cat or not. The plan for this motor is rebuilt short block (rebuilding currently in process), then put the 323 head on the short block and into my 323i. Initially i intend to run the L-Jet fuel system for a bit, but then once it's run in...

Hi guys, I'm currently in the process of building a 2.7L short block from an eta to go into my 323i. The thing is that according to the e30 Zone wiki about building 2.7's, the engine stamp says it should have a CR of 11:1 but the pistons are dished so i would've expected it to be 10.2:1 at most. Can...

17 and i've had my 323i for a little over a year, and no my parents did not pay for my car.

you might need to put a re-enforcing ring around the hole to stop the bars flapping around.

what type of amp do you have? if it's just a two channel then you should run your sub off that as per diagram above, and run your speakers straight off the head unit. If it's a four channel amp then run the front speakers off the front channel of the amp and the sub off the rear channel. If your hea...

Joining up to photobucket doesn't take long, where are you from mate? I'm in perth.

One day when i can afford it i would like to take the dash out and get the cracks fixed and wrap the whole thing in black leather.

In perth which is on the west coast of Australia, it can get pretty warm in summer and i don't think it was looked after too well before i got it.

For those of you who are lucky enough to live in a more dashboard friendly environment and have never seen a cracked dash allow me to ruin your day... http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s113/bwaterman_m20b23/PA270007.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s113/bwaterman_m20b23/PA270005.jpg http://i1...

post a side view of your car and it will be easier

Looks great, love the wheels

The rear spoiler is part of the Zender kit and the wheels are TSW stealths.

Thanks for the tip for now i'll leave it because I don't put too much power through the subs ie not much vibration. The subs and amp came with the car but they were mounted to a board that was just loose in the boot and the subs were mounted to that (magnet up cone down) which meant that the couldn'...

I've posted a couple of replies here and i figured that it's time to make my introduction. My name is Brendan I'm 17 and live in australia, I drive a 1986 323i which i've done a bit of work on since buying it last november. Now for some pictures http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s113/bwaterman_m20b...

Why not knock your own up? Hardly takes up any room and looks better than the metal behind the seat.

Sounds good too.

Wow i thought it was way harder to get that kind of power from a 323, are you running stock L-jetronic still or did you do other stuff? This is what i want to do to my 323.
