sump, dipstick and oil pickup

no still looking.

i was only playing man. there are 101 reasons not to start from scratch.

i suppose you are right but i also think that an e36 sump will also work with no real risk.

have a good evening

not a fan. the front looks like the jap car that was inspired by Pamela Anderson's mouth and a blow fish.

tar will try him.

hi i am after some bits of a 4 cylinder e36 91-95. is anyone on hear likely to help?

yep that is all conformation of wot i had prosumer. well at least some one else thinking as i am.

thanks allot bud.

the pic also gives me confidence to chop up the one i have as to be able to carry on with the build. all starting to make sense.

thanks as in real oem. parts 9 and 10 are different to. wot do these do and do we think that can be changed between the two timing cases.

yer you are right about it fitting in my car as there are no schassis parts under the engine ware the e36 sump will sit.
i think it is just the oil pick up. cannot find any info as to ware it is on the e36 m42 cars. of to ask the chaps in that linkey i guess.

thanks for that.

i dont remember all the details on there sump. i am going to call pete again in the new year.i can remember i cannot afford it. been looking at the sump used on the e36 318is. looks allot easier to take hight out of and is thinner. could be the winning solution if i can work out haw the oil pick up ...

as in title. can this be done. the e36 sump looks a lot easier to cut some hight out of and keep the capacity the same. it also looks like it runs along the engine front to back ware as the e30 runs left to right. as i need moor space on the right of the engine this is a good thing to. my only thoug...

GKD and i have spent a wile chatting on the phone. thaye have a lower sump witch i may get but i have to talk him dawn on the price. still wont solve the whole problem as the side of the sump binds on the schassis. still looks like a custom job or a wee bit of a chop and brace on the schassis but a ...

yer i can add a box to the opposite side of the oil pan. i think it is called a wing in motersport.

i was hopping that baffles will stop starvation and if the oil hight in wot is left of the pan is the same splash on to the crank should also be the same.

are there any thoughts on sump mods?

must the capacity remain the same?

ok so as some will know i am using an m42 in a 7 style car i am building from scratch. i need my oil sump to not be ware it is witch is a shame. the sump needs to have 25 mm taken off the bottom may get away with 15 mm but that is a compromise. i also need 40 mm of the passenger side of the sump. on...

ok. think that all makes sense. tar for your help.

thanks. so thats it.

any chance anyone knows the max and min resistance the TPS creates allowing the ECU to determine wether the throttle is for fully open and fully closed?

is that the only signal? also dose it just measure it on the big butterfly or throttle cable or dose it measure both butterfly valves independently? (if that makes sense)

wot are the electrical connections for on my throttle body. wot signals do thay send or receive and haw dose the throttle body generate the signal?

Hi yall. I am borrowing an e 46 at the minet with a 1.9 8 valve engion. It's started being a bit slower shal we say on startup. Just refuses to pull past 2000 rpm untill realy warmed up and then it's all fine again. Any idears welcomb I know the best fix would be swop for an e30 325 but hay. [/list]

I was asked today if a gearbox and bell housing I have from a m42b18 wuld go on a m44b19?
Can anyone tell me for shore? I think it will but befor I post I would like to know fir shaw.

I am yousing the diff and drive shafts going to fabricated uprights holding BMW rear whealbarings and drive flandges with BMW rear drums all suported on fabricated dubble wishbones. if that makes sence. I am also naw thinking that I culd just youse my is engion and sort this problem out once. The id...

Chears bud.
I know or rather suspected it is important and not do withoutable. My drama is converting to itb's ther is no ware for an afm to go. Unless I have 4. Culd go to custom stand alone engion manadgement. Wuld like to get it running withough though.

Ok so... Wot about meatering the air passing the car and avalable for induction. Rather than the air actualy being indused. Wuld you get the engion running right then/ culd you get it running right then. Or ......

So as in title. Wot does the afm do and haw does it do it? I gess it meshers flow rate with the butterfly valve. But wot elce does it do and wot other info dus the ecu get from it? If it is just a flow meater then wot advers afects on the engion would it have if I removed it from the airflow and Jam...

Think you have pritey mutch outlined the problem purfectley. That is also about as deep into it as I can think.
Is there a way to install somthing the ecu thinks is an afm or indeead a way of meatering things another way for the ecu.

I started a build thred but it got daleated.

Wether right or rong. A e36 rack is quicker than an e30 one any way. Granted not as fast as the z3 rack but when I put an e36 rack in mine it improved. Thay are cheep. Just give it a go.

I dan. I am building a IRS with duble wishbone.
I drove a 2.0 locost with live rear and it was fun. Wots so awfull with them aye.

Yep. I am or was the ice cream man. Got a proper job now. Welding and fabrecating big steel mainly for railways.
Picked up a car cover thismoorning. She will sleep tonight.

Thanks. I love it to and have had a lot of fun with it. As I will in my new car witch is allready marked as the next home for that engion.
Huum.
I think I will put hur in the gardin. Think some moor and hope I don't get side tracked and let it rot.

To mutch good information is shared threw text to give up on it. Having sead that. The old haynes exploding diagrams are a god send. Lol.
Tar bud

That's not a bad plan rob. But the engion is going in at some point anyway. Culd get another summer out of hur next year though. The 7 will not be ready by then.

I don't know wot to do. 4 munths ago I was driving around very happaly in my track ish ready 318is. Though expensive by modern cars and very sparton and opresive inside I loved it. Then someone got me this book about building your own car. You may know the book writen by criss gibbs or seen the firs...
