I have one i might let go for the right price

Hi guys I'm converting a 318is to a m50b25 vanos engine. There were a couple of wires missing from the loom comparing to the wiring list on another thread but the car starts and seems to run fine. I read on the wiki that an e30 sensor needs to be plugged in - does anyone have a part number (cant rem...

can you not just use the m40 / m42 loom for m44 conversions??

if you need a standard map (m50 manifold) then I can do that for you in hayes

BW is overpriced, and over exaggerated on the dyno (260bhp apparently from just a m50 manifold!!!)

Forget all that - when I had this issue on my cab, I wired up a 2 way switch direct to the horseshoe motor (I think I used an electric window switch and put in where the ac switch goes)

Then you simply press the up button to unlock it, and down to lock!

its a straight fit - you need to drill out the ports a bit to get the screw type connectors on there, and you need a m50 power steering pump

Put the right wheels on, take the eyebrows off and get it insured for £15k (then you can put it all back if you want!!)

You have found the right place at last! The items you have listed are common failures on all cars - As has already been said, there are a few zoners who would be happy to help out, and may be cheaper then garages when it comes to repairing these cars. Also, there are a few people who break these car...

if you need a thicker head gasket, you can use an mls gasket from cometic - people who turbo their cars use this to lower compression and its available 0.03, 0.04, .... up to 0.140 inch!!

Brilliant - thanks

and for the rear - Z3 1.9 or 2.8 widebody hubs??

you got any pics?

ok - you mentioned motorsport - I assume that you have a convertible and are not calling a sport a motorsport!

if a convertible, then I have eibach springs, with sport front dampers and bilstien b4's (softer) on the back and I find the ride fantastic with this setup

do you want to sell them?

Hi Is there any BMW breakers on here that could try a couple of things out? At the moment, we have the Danthe linkage which works well, but the hassle of that is getting the e34 uj's I was wondering if someone has tried using the linkage from newer models of cars - such as: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...

ive got eibach all round with b8's on front and b4's on back - i love the ride of the car (convertible)

however, to reduce body roll, should you not be looking at anti roll bars!

I worked it out to be 8:1 with 0.14 gasket

where do i do that?

edit - i didnt realise you can change that value - makes more sense now.

thanks

http://e28-535i.com/upload/M20_CR_Calcs.xls may help some. dont forget to take into account that the piston will sit 0.5mm aprox lower down the cylinder bore. thanks for the link just making sure im using it right, i take it that i need to be looking at the 2nd row (8.8:1 standard) then changing th...

Hiya Ive decided to go down the m20b28 route for my e30 turbo project. Aim is around 450bhp At the moment, i have a m20b25 engine, m52b28 crank from a z3, and m20b20 engine in the car at the moment. What compression ratio should i expect from the m52b28 crank, with b20 rods, and b25 pistons? (which ...

p.s. i have a good m20b20 for sale ;)

how about converting it back to a 320i? saves the cost of getting another m30b35, you can sell the m30 bits to someone else - and you may get better return on the whole lot as its back to standard!

How long do the studs need to be?

Good idea on the studs - have you got the stud details?

I was thinking of having the hole big enough for the socket extension rather then the socket itself

Hiya

Has anyone drilled their boot floor so that you can get a socket through it for quicker diff changes?

If so, do you have the measurements to hand by any chance?

Q

how about the michalin cross climates - are they any good?

I think my aim was 350-400 with the m20t - so 350 would be great - what would I need to do to get this, and which parts do I need for the complete conversion?

I've heard team sunset do a few bits - are they any good?

Anyway, I don't see a Pajero beating the e30 as it is

I'm not worried - just want to know in case I get into a race in the future lol

How difficult are they to turbo later on, what sort of 0-60 time would I expect from a NA V8 and the m20 turbo?

So i recently got a 320i 2 door in good condition. Initial plan was to do an M20B28 Turbo conversion, but im also thinking of going M60B40 instead now, (with a view to possibly turboing it later but not at the moment) I dont want to go the M52 route as i have that in another car What sort of 0-60 ti...

I already have an m50b28 turbo project going on in an e36 - the 320 I just got came about at a decent price - (£1800 with full adjustable billies, scorpion exhaust, 83 genuine miles and decent bodywork, a set of white returned bbs, and 17" Brock deep dish alloys) Rather then have 2 m50/52 turbo proj...

Hi All I have just purchased a 2 door 320i, and want to do a 2.8 stroker turbo conversion on it. Ive read the Wiki and it advises on: m52b28 single vanos crank m20b25 engine of course (pistons) m20b20 rods With this, the wiki says that compression ratio is about 9.75:1 - is this low enough for a tur...
