Hi, That looks like the voltage regulator for the alternator has been messed with. Normally looks like this: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=e30+alternator+voltage+regulator&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHFX_enGB517GB517&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj4qY2Lo8zSAhWBJ8AKHRhjA_YQ_AUIBygC&biw=1187&bi...

Hi, FYI Have just also done this on my M20B25 with 170,000 miles on it (+ turbo for last 10,000 miles) and I get 130 - 135psi across all cylinders (test performed cold)..... I think they are ment to be 147psi as new, so maybe your engine needs a bit more bedding in for it to come up. I would just re...

Hi, I am looking for a brake upgrade for my E30 trackday car, I am pretty set on the WMS setup, but am unsure if I should get the 280mm kit or the 300mm kit. I do have some 17" wheels off the rear of a 2009 exige, which i intend on fitting to the car, however I am unsure if it is worth having the ex...

a deposit would have secured it which is fair enough. I guess I have learned from this that you cant actually take anyone word these days, which is a shame. I guess in future I will have to say "Oh, by the way, although you have agreed that I can have it, could I leave a deposit, because I dont act...

Agreed to sell me a roll cage, phoned me the night before to confirm everything was ok, my GF then was driving there to collect, only to have him cancel a couple of hours before she arrived there!

Avoid.

Hi,

After the head gasket set for M20 325i

What does this include? Is the Cam O ring in this set?

Thanks

Hi, I have got a head that was skimmed and i need to rebuild, unfortunately the valves I got with it were not labelled to say which cylinder they came out of. The valve guides and valves all look ok but i dont know which cylinder each valve came from. They say you should put valves back in where the...

I have a late M20 2.5 low compression with 165000 miles on the clock. I use megasquirt engine managment and run 10psi on the engine with no problems (for 5000miles) with no internal mods (standard clutch too!). Although I am running about 10:1 at max rpm so as not to melt aything. I reckon im gettin...

Hi, Ive had a look and it appears you can make your own coilovers using spring perchs from rally designs http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3450 I had a search on here and there seems to be a bit of info on them but not a huge amount, I am interested in doing this myself but a...

Hi, I have got a head which i need to rebuild and it came with the valves that came out of it before it was welded. The valves and guides look ok the only problem is i dont know which valve came from which guide! I know when they talk about rebuilding a head they say to mark the valves so they go ba...

Hi, The W in the H1C means internal wastegate. I know because i have one fitted to my 2.5 M20. The internal wastegate is way too small and only comes off one port (split entry) so is useless. I used to get loads of boost creep so fitted an external one. That spools at about 3k and is a full boost ab...

No im running standard studs at the moment. Thinking of getting the ARP studs and if i take the head off may as well get the head welded! I have been using the internal wastegate for a while set at 6psi but it would go over this at about 4000 rpm and make tons of boost so i had megasquirt with the b...

Hi, I get a odd shake through the steering wheel at about 100 mph. Its not a shake when you have a unbalanced wheel as the wheel goes up and down instead of side to side. I suspect it could be the rack rod ends where they bolt to the rack but doesnt seem to be anything obvious.... I have brand new c...

I have a H1C running 10psi at the moment on standard head, studs and gasket. What bhp was he running at 22psi? Im looking for max 350bhp really. What are you running?

Cheers

Dan

Im down south in hampshire.

Looking to get the head o-ring as easier then getting the block done if im welding the water channels.

Where was yours done and did they pre-heat the head before welding?

Hi, Does anyone know a good place to get the head waterways welded and cylinders oringed, and do you know rough price? I know a lot of the american turbo guys have done this mod to increase the amount of boost they can run. I am currently running 10psi on a late (8.8cr) engine and dont want to run m...

Thats the thing, I wasnt sure which way round is best Supercharger or Turbo?. But the plumbing would be so much easier if the supercharger comes first (which is the way the TSI golf is I think) as its just one pipe accross the top of the engine to the turbo inlet. I think that side is the best place...

Yeah, VW do it on their twincharger 1.4 and Lancia did it on the intergrale rally car! Something like this I was thinking: http://mrpilt.googlepages.com/SuperTurbo.jpg With an electronic clutch on the S/C to diengage it at >3000 rpm. THe electronic throttle body would then open at the same time to s...

Hi, So heres my toy (and daily driver!), 325iSE Facelift with Holset H1C turbo. Im too embarased to show a full photo because its Brilliant Pink at the moment with 3 years of no polish! Anyway, heres my dilema. The turbocharger is all nice but theres no real power from the turbo below 3000rpm. Now t...

Cheers Geoff, I will check that supercharger out I was imagining something the other way round with the supercharger feeding the turbo inlet to simplify things! Here is a diagram: http://mrpilt.googlepages.com/SuperTurbo.jpg I havent drawn the intercooler but this is on the outlet of the turbo which...

Its lowered 35mm all round. But i am not sure if it may have some accident damage as well since my sparco strut brace will not fit! I got the chassis measurements off 300.de and the lower rails are the correct distance apart, its just the centre of the top mounts are 10mm closer then the spec. Howev...

Very good read. Since you know your stuff and a lot more then me could you answer me this? I have a M20 turbo with a H1C running about 10psi currently. With this configuration i see boost at about 3000rpm and below this the car behaves similar to standard. Now if I had a m45 supercharger could i use...

Hi,

I had a question about your top mounts. I have just had my car lazer aligned and the front camber is -2.08 and -1.96 respectiverly and was wondering if your top mounts will allow me to go back to stock. Is it bad for me to run this much camber on the road?

Cheers

Hi, I am adding a external wastegate to my ebay manifold and was wondering abot using a flexi joint between the exhaust manifold and the wastegate. The wastegate would be on a solid peice of pipe below the downpipe to support its weight. Do i need the flexi pipe at all? And if I do have one can it b...

Hi can you tell me the outside diameter of this, to see it it will clear my exhaust? (3" turbo pipe and e36 rack!)

Hi, Ive done this myself and the plates are not too hard to fit, the only bad bit is having to grid out the oval hole in the middle but i had an air grinder so was not too bad. You will need these to correct the camber and toe only if you lower the car, but dont expect to be able to change toe easil...

Great guy, Quick Delivery!

Got what i needed and all for free!

Hey, Nice build!

Where did you get ur Willwoods from and how much did u pay? I was thinking of getting a set of these soon from rallydesign, did the kit have everything you needed?

And why do you have studs in the pics, was this just to trial fit them?

Cheers

Dan

Well I have finished mine ya! But how I did it? Got a diagram off Ian325sport from here on a friday, gave the diagram to a local engineering firm on monday. Recived 16 brackets on thursday. Made exactly the same as the ones being sold here (2.5mm sheet laser cut and bent at both ends)! That was hard...

Hi,

My brake pedal does not seem to do much for the first couple of inchs of travel!!

It is a bit noisy as if there is a bit of play in the linkage but i was wondering how much play there should be?

Cheers
