E30 Zone

I have just done a little research on the speed sensor wire and it seems that some need it and some don't.

Does anyone know the symptoms of a motor that needs a speed signal?

Hi, How do i know if i have the lmbda's plugged into the correct pipes? It is deffinately the correct air flow meter because it all came out of this car originally, basically i bought an e36 m3 with a roll cage and no wiring loom so i scrapped a 318i auto and fit the wiring loom from that into the m3.

Basically i have an s50b30 plugged into an e36 318i wiring loom in my e36 rally car. I know this is not an e30 but you guys are the most experienced at fitting s50's in strange places! :D I am having a few teething problems with my engine though, Firstly the idle is not smooth at all, i put it down ...

I thought it may have been you!

I didn't know he had done anything to it, all i know is that it was rust free which is a novalty for an e30 these days!

Its a small world! who am i speaking too?

Old thread but that 325ix has come up for sale so i thought i would show you. I went to see it last year and its absolutely stunning! I could only find one small circle of surface rust in the engine bay and the rest of the car was mint! http://www.jerseyinsight.com/classified_1.aspx?id4=0:11433&id4=...

I have just been looking into these twin servos, I can get hold of an e34 m5 one. is the bolt pattern the same as the e30?

Thanks mate, but one of you guys must know what to do??

I have worked out i just need the oil temp pin and the speed sensor pin.......

I am currently Wiring my s50b30 engine into a 318i (e36) wiring loom, it all fits together fine but the engine loom connector has a lot more pins than the body loom connector, does anyone have a list of what each pin in the engine loom connector does?

Thanks!

No it is a rally car, i already have like a 7-1 pedal ratio, will a smaller m/c make as much difference as a servo? the pedal is rock solid at the mo!

I looked at that but it would also mean modifying the e36 pedal box which does not look like it has enough clearance......

It looks like 36's have different bolt patterns to the e30, my e36 has 65mm between the 4 bulkhead studs but the e30 has 75mm....

Anyone got any other options for me?

Nice one thanks mate, what kind of master cylinder do you think I should use? Do you think the 325i one will struggle with m3 calipers?

Thanks mate, Do you know what year clio i need one from?

Also, does anyone know what model audi the master cylinder i need came off?

Haha, the cage comes with a warning that your servo will probably not fit, most people use bias pedal boxes and 6 pots but i can't afford that yet!

What year is the plastic wing clio? does anyone have an accurate measurement of the servo?

I am trying to find a smaller servo for my e36 m3 because i have a cage fitted that goes through to the strutts and now the m3 servo fouls the cage. I know you guys say a mk2 golf servo will bolt straight in to an e30 but i am worried that the master cylinder won't be upto the challenge of running m...

All i did to resolve the problem is move the steering rack about 5mm to the right, because of the nature of the rack it does not affect the steering but you will have to re track the steering.

The standard Type 9 has a very very short 1st gear (3.71 iirc), then it bogs down in second to 2.something no good for hill climbing whatsoever!

Idealy you need a tran-x rally gearkit and a 5.1 cwp then you will have a usable setup with 200bhp but you are looking at spending atleast 6k

It was a little dissapointing, cheers anyway! Ross, i have a few small bits left, like my aluminium centre console, stack oil pressure and temperature gauges etc etc if you need anything pm me and i will see if i have it....

I have done it, its fairly straight forward, i used sbd engine to chassis mounts that are meant for escorts. I also hillclimbed it but to be honest i was dissapointed. the engine will have to be reasonably well tuned, i had a standard motor with sbd tapered itb's and it was not really powerfull enou...

I did a bit of tarting up over the weekend and painted my rocker cover bright white! :D http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/Tristanharrison/DSC00969.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/Tristanharrison/DSC00968.jpg As i had the rocker cover off i also did the SBD modification of removing th...

Hello mate, basically you have 2 master cylinders, one for the front brakes and one for the rear brakes, these are both pushed by the one pedal but with a balance bar to transfer the force from the one pedal to the 2 master cylinders. The reason you do this is so you can adjust your front/rear braki...

Nice one Brian

I had worked out the larger wires but i was confused by the smaller ones, i will cut em back and blank them off.

Thanks mate!

I am moving all of my ignition wiring to a switch so i was wondering what wire does what, i know the green wire is ignition but i am not sure what the rest of them do??

The ARB is an e36 325i one, it bolts up to the same drop links as the e30 one then i welded a couple of pieces of 6mm steel to the chassis rails to mount the arb bushes to. So to answer your question canswell, yes the mounts are reinforced :D I am gonna see how the samco hose goes, it is pretty rigi...

:o: Thank you! I am fitting a bias pedal box but as you cannot get a bias box for a beamer i decided to modify an escort mk ii one. It took a fair amout of work, First i took the bmw box apart and cut off all of the braketery etc from the bmw back plate. Then i welded the escort pedal box onto the b...

Thanks mate :D Well after much thought over things and contemplating i decided to mount it behind the rad to see how it goes. Mostly because i want to keep the plastic funnel and i am hoping the combination of the funnel and the fan will be enough. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/Tristanharri...

This is the problem though mate, you need a facelift rad, viscous, crossover pipe and hoses in order to get the job done properly. The pre facelift rad simply does not fit in a facelift car. The only other option is as i suggested and get an electric fan and get rid of the viscous completely. This i...

If you are only gonna get a couple of hundred quid for your 320i Nathan use it as a spares car, there are loads of bits on it you can use. For one you can get the rad and viscous off it. Plus if you are gonna fit a facelift rad you need to get the facelift crossover pipe from the front of the engine...

There is nothing wrong with the gearbox mate, as i said to you it is the z3 quickshift that makes the gearchange notchy.

If you fit a standard shifter and refit the vibration dampener you will probably sort those 2 problems out.

The throttle bodies are tapered and coupled with that manifold i should see 209bhp according to SBD motorsports. I haven't gone for cams yet, i think that will come next winter because the best thing to do is replace the pistons and rods at the same time. then i could get 290bhp if i wanted!!! 8O Th...

Hello mate, there is nothing to tell you your belt is old, i do not know when the belt was last done on that engine i just know that the oil was done fairly recently and i only know that because the filter was so clean!

Keep the dash, it looks better :cool: I have been spending faaaaar too much money recently! I got a brand new non aircon e36 radiator off ebay which fits in the gap nicely. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/Tristanharrison/E36Rad.jpg Next to the rad is the oil cooler, where do you think the bas...

Thanks guys!

Is pin 20 engine speed the tachometer?

Jhonno, i am after the info for wiring my vauxhall engine into my rally car so hopefully i won't have the same problem

Does anyone know where i can find out what each pin on the car side of the c101 does?
