guys

any recommendation for gd UK e36 forums ? Looking to buy a e36

thanks mate!

could you point out how do I do a search function in this forum? I cant seem to find a "Search" button

Guys

I find the e30 steering rack too unresponsive - turn to turn takes like forever.

Anyone know if an e36 steering rack (which has a smaller turning ratio) is a direct bolt on? if not, what mod is required?

anyone knows any thread showing a DIY with pic etc?

TIA

I am undertaking one right now. You might be worth reading through this one. Its at an advanced stage from the start of this post, but should be fairly plug and play. Might help you avoid a few pitfalls I have hit. http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=128783&highlight= On...

Thanks Mate

Do u happen to know a link where there is a detailed write-up (pics woul dbe ideal) where I can be guided along as I suck at things mechanical....

cheers

Guys I am thinking of swapping my M401.6L to a M42 1.8L IS engine. Think its not a straight fwd swap - some mounting etc needs to be changed etc? Can anyone advised all the parts from the M42 I will need? I am sure there is a well documented thread on this swap with detailed pics - can a kind soul p...

keen too

sory to hijack thread.

i dr a 316 manual and not sure what shd the diff be. wat diff options can fit without need for mod to improve acceleration from standstill?

thks

As above, tinking of swapping my M40 1.6L with a 1.8L. Will the increased power improve fuel economy by hauling the car easier/faster from standstill?

The only practical way to fit an E36 M42 into an E30, is if you have a complete scrap E30 iS M42 engine to source parts from. Most of the parts bolted on to the basic block and head, etc., will have to be changed. rite, that might presents a bit of a problem coz its hard to find a e30IS half cut. m...

yep very similar to m42

Thanks Alex.

M42 it is then.

But the M42 is a much easier swap.

Thks for your inputs

Guess its M42 then and easier for a swap since I can keep the most of the M40 parts.

Cheers guys!

Toying with the idea of swapping my M40 to either:

1) M42 from a e36 318i
2) the e30 318is engine

which will give me more power?

Not considering the 2litre or 2.5litre engines.

TIA

anyone has any idea how much would a USED 318is engine (M42) in gd condition cost? + internation shipping cost? TIA You should pick up a very decent one for 300 or so. The shipping would be the issue. Where are you based. Sadly, I would need it shipped to Singapore (Southeast Asia) - seafreight is ...
