Yep tried 3 of them then got a known working one from a car so i could rule that out
Even changed the ABS pump wasn't until i put the untouched calipers on that they worked

Figured out the problem... Front calipers were locked.... Not rusted or seized the rubber seal was not letting them slide This was with 2 sets of calipers ... Come across a pair of 51mm front struts complete for nothing of a problem free car that had abs also and it fixed the problem Never got to dr...

Unplugged the abs no change. ...

Tried both of them
The spacer is about 18mm

Nope thats right way
Pump brakes up hard with engine off hold start engine brakes go down

Done the M50 conversion used a clio servo car has abs all calipers are free moving brakes lack power pedal feels normal but yiu need to seriously stand on it do do anything and even thrn there lame Servo is working vacumes good abs kicks in on a dirt road Bleeding both power and pedal comes out fine...

I see , so min 4mm but up to ring gear better, and im guessing thats across the rear face which is only about 20mm anyway

Has anyone got a diagram on where and how much material to remove from a m20 fly so it fits a m50
Or do ppl just put the fly up mark what needs to come off and have it done

no track use at all
i know pretty much everything on the conversion, i have converted my other E30 to M30
may have over looked the fact that they are taller mounts

ahh ok yep will do ... dosnt seem to be a lot of info about that

spacers are on the top of the rack, so this should put the rack further away from the sump
the rack is definitely a larger diameter, not a lot and not enough to make it foul over a std rack
just got std E30 rubber mounts in.

Just test dropped in my M50 today, seems the sump fouls the E46 rack by quite a bit it seems Has anyone got a m50 e30 with a E46 rack? If so does it work ? Did you space the mounts up? Use different mounts? Iv got the E36 arms on (36 motor 34 sump) Also both manifolds foul ,front on the rack (I knew...

I don't have a clutch or fly at all yet
Sounds like the M20 fly is the better route

What's cheapest Easiest option for a M50 motor with a M40 box
It's not a race car so std clutches are fine

Yeah righto M50TU... Same same but different! Lol
Haven't picked it up yet just gathering parts still

It's an 93 2.5L E36 an has the cast type also got single vanos
Cast won't fit ? Or not very good?

Doing a 2.5L now ... Easiest type to fit??? Iv got a E36 M52 with the cast type? Are they going to be able to be fitted ?
Or should I be looking for the tubular type?
Cars going yo have a E46 rack aswell in it...

Everything costs more in oz
If I could do it all for that much I would

I think people haven't read the very first post I put up.... m52 2.8 or M30 3.5.... Couple of small cheap mods is all I'm going yo do
To buy an M5 motor or anything bigger and better in oz is stupidly expensive ! I'm not after a fast car 3.5 power is enough
If I wanted a race car I'd just buy one

So it's not a std item from a different motor...?

Ok so M50B25 inlet is the go
What is the big throttle body off???

So B28 throttle body is smaller also?

Bbtb? Bbtb?
Is 225 at the wheels?

M52 + M50 manifold makes 220hp or so...surely it's a no brainer?[/quote]

Pretty much what I was wanting to know....

Hmmm created a bit of debate here ! Like I said I have a E30 M30 now and LOVE it ! Yes it's old but does that mean it no longer has the power....
I'm swinging towards the M52 for engine bay looks and economy

Not interested in building a motor the costs add up too quick and sourcing parts for the build in oz it's expensive
I like the twin cams I'd do a chip and a few simple mods but is the power going to be comparable to a 3.5

Iv already got a 3.5L E30 it's a awesome car to drive love it ! However the time has come to sell and get into a 91 2 door with factory mtech 2 kit ( VERY Rare in OZ !!) It's a 318i auto adding ABS OBC cruise all the other cool stuff But the motor to go with ... Is a 2.8 going to be as quick /quicke...

Yeah I did know about the S14 fly .... But try getting one if them in aus !!! Then if you do find one try finding enough money for it !!!

Ok so found a E12 520i flywheel. (m10 2.0L) it's a 228mm friction disc being the same size as M20s It's back in and running now and as I'm going to sell the car I put a second had clutch in it probly 1/4 through its life It holds up with no problem at all hard shifting clutch dumping what ever I thr...

I'm in aus
M30 flys are easy to get but I'm running a M10 box so the M30 fly won't fit
I'm not going to get a M30 box as I'm just selling the car
Iv got a M10 fly on it now but the hi torque clutch kits are stupidly expensive !

Trying to sort out a clutch for my M30 /M10 box E30 It's got the m10 fly now surprisingly just holding up Going to be selling the car so needs to be right Want to go the cheapest route Has anyone had a E21 M10B20 flywheel in there conversion? Apparently the 2.0s are 228mm I know a half worn 323i clu...

Ok so pulled down the struts... The large piston struts are BMW bilsteins While the thin ones are BOGE The bilsteins feel look and operate far better than the others even after 27 odd years they still feel great even to the point that they are going to be swapped into my new E30 They are also rebuil...

Getting some new shocks for my new 2 door Iv just wreaked a 325e that had the factory "M sport suspension" It had abs so all of this is going into my new car Question is the front struts are 51mm but have a small piston rod ! My other E30 has 51mm struts aswell but a fat piston rod ! So when I buy n...

can non ABS cv joints be fitted with the ABS sensor ring?

It tells you here how to fit viscous fan (see position lll): http://www.e30.de/335i/09.htm think its the same site that originaly sold m30 mounts so you guys might already know about it :roll: Probly read that before ... Think I read everything on the swap, interestingly there position has more roo...
