hi i have done the m52 swap when the car is cold its spot on but when its warm and i drive unto lights slow down then put my foot on the clutch it will hunt and sometimes stall. i presume its the icv i have cleaned it out and its the same, is there a way of testing it before i fork out £160 on a new...

When I start my car my clocks work fuel temp and rev gauge then a few seconds after they stop working? I have checked the battery's on the back and it was 2.98v on each all fuses are alight I'm not sure what it can be?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Jon

sweet mate nice colour aswell ,i used to own a vert the same colour and sold it stupidly!

keep up the good work

looks really smart mate

keep up the good work!

hi I've recently completed my m52 conversion, everything is fine drives perfect starts first time but when its revved it takes ages to settle, and when driving and coming to a stop sometimes it cuts out!!?? i have checked all plugs vacuum hoses and everythink seems to be ok. anyone got any ideas? ch...

they were on the original m20 engine mounts

on the same sort of question on the engine mounts are you meant to put the metal surround(sorta protector) back in with the mounts?

anyone?

just wondering where people have put exhaust brackets as there was one on the original m20 gearbox but i have a zf box now and the exhaust is only held up from the mani and the back box!! the throtle cable i have bought has like a metal sleeve on the end i have bent this to the shape of the bend ,on...

That's what I was thinking but surely they still make them :s it's confusing I've searched and I've found one bloke in Australia a few years ago with that problem but it doesn't say if he got a new starter or not! And I can't seen to sign up to that forum to message him

everyone I've found is all 9teeth not 10? i can't for the life of me find a 10tooth one. the numbers on the starter i type in google and eBay they all come up as 9tooth starters does anyone sell a 10tooth? really frustrating i really need to get the car sorted and on the road!

cheers mate i can't seem to find them on euro shall i just go on eBay and get one? sorry to be a pain

right i have 2 starters and tryed both i found out that one isn't working. i have taken both apart and put the teeth on the flywheel one fits and one doesn't the one that fits is the broken one and it 10tooth instead of 9. i have a part number on it which is 63223433 magnetic marelli but what is the...

I've slackened the bolts off then I've take the gearbox out and check all the dowels and there in? I don't see how it is doing it as in the starter can't move I've even elongated the holes abit so u have a bit of play so I can move it up and down a touch and still nothing?

ok cheers ill try that tomorrow the dowel I'm sure there all in, how would a dowel matter surely if all the bolts are in it shouldn't matter? i have also turned the engine loads of time and tried starting it in different positions

The power cable came off the battery so now it comes out and spins but doesn't want to engage the flywheel and I have tried 2 starters? Surely not both starters have gone they're came out of my car working! There isn't something silly I'm missing?

Hi imnfinishing my m52 conversion I have the lightened m20 flywheel and the m20 starter but when you go to start it it won't engage? The motor turns freely and I have tested the starter on the bench and it works. I've also went straight to the starter and put 12vs down it like on the bench and it ju...

That's probably what I have done then!! Cheers I shall order one off there

hi i bought the car with the m50 mani already on, but the pcv pipes were terrible. the pipe going back to the intake was reduced down to a vacuum sided pipe, and where it connects onto the pcv the pipe was bait too small and has split swell :|. i have welded the pipe on the dipstick and i have just ...

ok cheers for the help

with the pcv i was going to keep it but it was smashed would it be best to get new parts and keep it? i can easily weld the pipe into the dipstick. just though it might run abit better with it deleted and running into a catch can?

cheers

jon

anyone?

and can i get rid of the pcv and run a pipe from the rocker cover to a catch can? some say you can some say you can't?

cheers

When I complete my m52 conversion I want to take my downhill bike with me and not rely on my mate with his van. I've been on the Thule website but have no idea which ones best and will fit? I need something substantial as downhill bikes are heavier than normal bikes and if one of my other mates come...

hi just need some questions awnsered if people know :) 1. which way do the lamb sensors plug in 2. where to mount the power steering reseviour 3. which way does the pipes go on for the power steering reseviour 4. on wiki the chart for wiring up the engine it says for e36 to e30 1987-88 but my cars a...

i am also just about to tackle the flywheel clutch job i can't find much on modifying the fork so if anyone does it take some pictures

where can you buy the e21 release bearing from I've gone onto euro and only found the clutch kits!

sweet cheers guys

anyone?

if your doing that setup withe the m20 flywheel which flywheel bolts do you use?

just swapping the sump over i just want to double check the bracket on the tray i need to cut off right? and keep the tray in not remove it.

cheers

jon

thing is the engine when it was in mine didn't make this noise when i changed the clutch in that car it made that noise once or twice and then stopped but as soon as i changed the engines over the noise was the same it was like it for like 6months till the starter motor packed up all of a sudden, th...

no shouldn't of thought i would have done that!! i don't want to take it out again but i might have too

nope o didn't even take the clutch off because i had a new clutch in it a few months before, thats what i can't understand it shouldn't make that noise! really frustrating

yeh all wired up correctly starts and stops when it should just when it starts it makes a horrible noise :/

any help I'm stuck on what it could be?

No it's the starter and flywheel from the newer engine I made sure that they were the same, the metal plate that's between the engine and gearbox is that the same thinkness between the years?
