Cheers Mick, pedal box came as described, well packaged and super swift delivery as requested.

TBC Gert, it will have some compromise to handling but will still be fun and we build these things to satisfy our own tastes, I'll keep tweaking it until I find the best balance of what I want from it... It's only in a rolling state at present, the tyre tread will be tucked in when it's finished.

Cool cheers Lad,

So not been on the forum for a while and the only real update is a unit move which means that the 30 is still up North whilst I reside down South! Continuing with the stock piling ready for my next visit! Got myself some really odd looks heading back from Abbey Wood on the train with one of these......

That's gone straight over my head Will!!

Duly noted... I do find it odd that they run the same part number though... I think I'll check in with someone from BMW on this one...

But agree that I certainly don't want to be scrimping on £100 for all that extra power/risk of ruining the lump!!

Awesome!! I wonder what determines the map/fueling at a different rate?!

That leaves me only 4/5 more things on the shopping list now then

Cheers Will, Afraid that I don't have the EWS bits... I can't see any difference either but guessing they must have a different map, I notice that both engines (3&4L) run the same injectors so guessing it can't be the same map with a heavier flow rate...

Cool - cheers dude!

Thanks Will, so do you think the unit failed because of the mismatch of parts?

Cheers for the response!

Just wondering if anyone knows whether to expect issues with running the M60 power steering pump with the the E30 rack? Would this need a pressure regulator or perhaps a larger pulley to reduce rpm?

Cheers

I have have two ECU's for my M60 conversion: 261 200 404 - (fairly sure this came out of my 530) 261 203 484 - (fairly sure this came out of the 740) I will be running the B40 lump but I am not certain how to determine whether the '404 (Non-EWS) is from the B30 or B40. From a quick search online it ...

WOW that is a beaut.!

Simply superb mate - lovely motor!

Rears tuck in just fine even pre-camber adjustment... http://imageshack.com/a/img513/7342/9t5c.jpg Debating whether shorter/custom springs will do the trick to get it down at the rear or whether full coilovers will be required but it's not as easy to strengthen the turret on a cab so slightly reluct...

Pete - Stance very much WIP at the mo, was more a case of getting the 5stud fitted at this stage... fronts will come in 10mm yet, plus camber front and rear and more drop, tread will be inside the arches... Rob - Wheels were a bit of a find... Eta Beta Lucy 9's some dude in Germany took them of his ...

Bobbed back up north for a tinkering session this weekend... Pulled the M20 out and made a little more headway in figuring out how everything is going to be done! Engine Out http://imageshack.com/a/img545/3083/vkoo.jpg Out with the old http://imageshack.com/a/img593/3839/d3y5.jpg In with the slightl...

So I've moved to London now but under the guise coming up to meet my new niece I headed back up to Manchester for the week and put in some spanner time! So a quick update. Tyres are now on and fairly happy with the fit. http://imageshack.com/a/img189/66/73ck.jpg E34 has now been liberated of it's en...

Cool cheers people!

Just wondering if anyone knows whether the M60B40 has a different or higher rated fuel pump to that if the M60B30?

At present I have a pump from the B30 to run my B40 engine so just wondering if I need to source a different pump.

Cheers,

Just embarking on my M60 conversion and going to run a 5 speed manual, I've bought a M60B40 with auto ECU and loom and an M60B30 Manual with ECU, Loom and box. My question is if I was to use the manual loom and ECU from the B30 on the B40 could I get this mapped so that the fuelling would be ok for ...

Cheers AJS the wheels were a real find... Got them from Germany from a guy who said he bought an m3 with them on and switched to bbs and they just sat in his cellar for 10years or something like that! Still not found another set so will be mindful of that everytime the rear end kicks out!! I did a f...

No not changed the seats so I would guess that they are original, it has an mtec2 kit and steering wheel, but that said the kit is quite poorly fitted so guessing this may have been added by a previous owner...

So after about 3-4months with zero car action I've started on the beemer again... I'm now moving to London in a months time so decided I'm going to take my time with this rather than try and churn it out in a month... Have fitted the 5 stud conversion, just need to have shims made up to space out th...

Good stuff mate! Should make it nicer to drive in the colder months whilst the roofs up!

Looks smart so far... Why were you in the boot?!

Stunner mate!

Always more worthwhile when you have to work hard to get it! Everyone loves the chase!

Look forward to seeing some pics!

I have had this issue on other cars whereby the thin wire "exciter wire" as I have heard it referred to as is faulty e.g. broken/poor connection so it would be worth looking over the wiring as they often run close to hot areas of the engine they can become brittle or melt etc...

Top stuff mate! Sounds like a plan ditching the spoiler too!

Not heard about the chassis not being up to scratch but only one way to find out! Do the chasis legs give up or something? I had planned to go S50B32 but after going out on the track in M60 E30 I was sold! The perfect sound track for roof down action! Bit of a symmetry freak too so the V8 will look ...

Thanks guys, well I will just unplug it for now then, I have not yet looked in to what I am going to do about the ABS as I am switching to 5 stud at present but also switching to an M60 lump so I need to suss out the impact of changing the ECU ect. more research to be done!

So I have been on here for some time now and have had my E30 for a few years now. After a rocker arm snapped and the mot ran out I stuck it in storage where it has been for the last year whilst I focussed on other projects (Polo G40's). Here she is prior to being put in to storage. http://imageshack...

Just been trying to remove the rear trailing arms and I am unsure how to remove the sensor in the picture below, so just looking for some advice on how to do so...

The gearbox is the same on the E39 v8's as the E34???
