sorted mine. fitted the original m20 icv (bodged on) and runs fine now? the m50 icv seams to move ok though

mines doing this at the moment (trackcar not been started for 6months was ok) but if you unplug the idle control valve it idles at 1000rpm .no idea why.might just leave it unplugged ??

keep us informed about e36 rear diff cover,seams a good mod,mine has polybush and has collapesd after 12 months

had a quick look,removed icv,all hoses seem ok,fittings ok etc,wd40 icv and pushed it to and through.seams to move freely.refitted it and started. its the same revs from 1 to 2k every second.with it running unplugged icv and idle drops to 800ish perfect? is the icv valve at fault?

regarding manifold,this is a m50 2.5 engine and standard as from e36 as far as i know

always been fine,will remove icv and check throttle,plus any hoses for splits,this is not a common problem then. its too noisy to run up to temp but i think it cleared after 3-4 min when i run it up the other week

had the car sitting at work for about 6 months in the car park.thought i shoud get it running for up coming season. so quick jump start and fires right up,but its idle goes from 1k to 2k,jumping about every 2 seconds,had a quick look and throttle body elbow has split.so ordered up new and fitted.its...

i tried that year before last. bind it at baby karousel on monday 2 lap so missed the day there and spa day after.
mental note to self.dont combine when paid upfront...cost me loads

i done dn4, was fantastic, didnt go to dn5 as not really want to included gp track.all booked up for dn6.cant wait,anyone else booked it yet?

cheers mate makes sense,regards mot its a track only car now so no worrys.

yes mate,the bellows,want to fit a catch tank to breather.need to keep the icv connected then

do you think there is much more weight to be saved easyerly?

mine was a 320 with rear drums and no abs,converted to rear disc and eats rear pads,thought there was a rear restrictor in engine bay?

i need to fit a new elbow onto my throttle body,there are 2 breather pipes going into the bottom,can i reun these into a catch tank or have they got to be sealed.remember when i removed my filler cap when running i got poor running because of pressure or something, might just be talking crap though....

if you remove your rear inline restictor from your brakes,put my name on it as i need a new one.(as long as its for rear discs)as mine from a drum model and over brakes the rear.

found this thread,looks a really nice car will.bit better put together than my old dog.ive never suffered fuel surge?standard every thing running m50.you sure its not another problem?

blocked rad,had same problem on mine,rad looked fine,cut it up after and was well blocked.

yes,m50 engine that i got for £50 from ebay.

no "e" plate in silver with go faster rust.did ok though.only thing kwicker was the alfa 75 full on slick running motor.

bit late now,but i was there in my doggy old silver e30

had the hissing problem with mine last week (amongst other things) turned out to be radiator cap,was not sealing and you could hear hissing if you pumped top hose.one new cap later and all sweet now

run on 888 toyo normally,but setting up new engine,fitted some shit 195 60 14,was wet and under slightly heavy braking was locking rear,explains why i was doing set of rear pads per trackday

swapped over rear end complete to a rear disc setup,works well but locks rear wheel to easy,looked on realoem and seems there are two types of restrictor valves on rear brake lines,one for drums and one for discs,i take it these need changing aswell then.?anyone done this,or not normally a problem

just fitted new rad,run it up the road and gauge sits at half,looks like its sorted..............................
just hope running it hot for the last couple of evenings aint done no damage

right,looked again tonight, it has a new water pump (this is the third)so not that stat has centre cut out.not that heater blows fine temp gauge just creeps up the more you drive,so fitted an after market gauge into top hose.run it around a bit and was reading 100 at 3/4 on original gauge.so not gau...

i got a 80 form danthe,but gone back to a cut out centre one at the moment,so no stat really

tried bleeding again tonight,car lifted as high as i can at the front.blow water out run for about 45min with cap off,pumping hoses etc,heater blows hot,gauge sits at 1/2.took out for drive.give it some beans on my private track,goes up to red quite quick and sits there.dont really come down with fa...

yes brown sensor from my m20 which always read ok

ok.
filled to top,undone bleed screw next to cap,blow down until water halfway down and only water coming out bleed,tighten.then run.
thats what i done tonight after changing water pump (had play)
will check it tomorrow.
dont beleve its head gasket as it runs too well with no symtoms

ive read about it,its my first m50 so still learning,any way heater blows hot,radiator gets hot all over,filled header tank to top and removed screw,blown (mouth)header tank untill just water comes out bleed and refitted screw quick.run it for about 20miles.gets up to 3/4 and scares me.got a trackda...

just fitted and got running my m50 325i,had to fit new thermostat housing as was cracked.runs up fine and drives nice.but cruise along at 30-40 and temp sits at half,give it a boot full and temp slowly goes up to 3/4 or so,and dont like comming down to quick. so far tried,new water pump,clean coolan...

true about the armco bill,buts its not too bad price wise,what really bumps up the wallet damage on tf is you pay for the loss of takings for track closure,and marshal time etc.
same as trackdays here?you pay for track damage i think

my thought exactly spic,you got to do 24 laps to make it pay money wise.thats why im booked onto the 18th july, will be my 9th trip and first track day there.no armco bill bikes or hopefully divs.last october i broke an engine mount on the baby karousel,blow the rad etc.no damage to armco or fluids ...

how can i pay,how quick can i get it.any chance you got a 80 stat as well

starting to get ready to fire up,found themostat housing has split through the bolt hole (plastic type).read somewhere about a alloy type one,what car is it from and best place to source one?
