selling it now rav...want to start on my new race bike for next year...havn't got the space or time for it,ashame really but it will go to a good home i'm sure of it,and the thing revs up to 7k!

awesome job mate! you should be proud of that manifold...its an achievement on its own.

it flies now....the bleed problem wasn't an airlock but the car needing a new rad! stupid me...

what trackday is that then? whos organised it? might pop along if its one of the lads i know...

i've got a lovely 540i touring in techno violet 95,000 miles with history, silver leather and zero rust, if your interested i can email some pics. manual? no it's an auto, i think it suits the car, nice big effortless cruiser 90% of the time then slip it in sports mode and put a big smile on your f...

the engine was in the car,but we knew the car it came from,was a red 535i e34...it was very fast and this engine does rev to 6200ish,could be more but i don't really take it that far! interesting this,because the ratios in the standard box i have just put on the car do not feel the same as the one f...

The cut outs are normal, they are standard M30 Pistons. I bet it goes well though? It has a better spec than most home brew M30 conversions. it pulls very strong throughout the whole rpm range,the sound when its at 2500-5000rpm is music to my ears. and i'm quite proud of my find...just glad the cha...

now they are bmws....nice work mate.

now thats a bmw....both of them

do you know what power they push out? They have high comp pistons, chipped ecu, cam etc... 240bhp 'fraid not. Hartge H5 conversion of the M30B35 consisted of a remaped ECU, camshaft, Hartge headgasket, valve cover, exhaust system and on LHD cars a six branch manifold. No high comp pistons. this one...

heres what the piston tops looked like when staley_turbo and myself took the head off for the first time

Project looks good, look forward to the updates 8) still won't be as powerful as yours imy! but it still has the sentimental value in my heart...i do love this and i think rav and indy have persuaded me to keep it! i would love to do kore to it,so now i'm just putting it away in storage until i res...

i think this one is 240bhp....not a hartge nut so i don't exactly know for sure,cam has defo been changed and the ecu mapped by them,as for other mods i don't know for sure,the pistons looked like non standard items when i had the head off it. but i'm sure somebody on here knows exactly what went in...

Very nice but the wheels let it down and im pretty sure the interior is wrong. Should have alpina striped cloth seats Not all of them had the striped seats. Yes the wheels are wrong but i think you can forgive him for have uber uber rare split rim Alpina motor sport wheels. This car was in BMWCar m...

this is the ecu out the car

nah its the real thing bud

yep,last pic is on roseberry street! opp the gurdwara...i will upload a few more pics

i have an e34 540i that i use daily,and i must day its awesome! i love it and to be honest i get 28 mpg combined...it aint the best on fuel but it sure a hell is fun to drive,sound is addictive.

few guys were asking for some pics of the project, want to sell up to be honest as i haven't got the money to carry this on and run a business at the same time. here ya go.... http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac8/kieranbusak9/bmw%20pics/IMG00413-20101006-1808.jpg http://i880.photobucket.com/albums...

nothing?? is it off? i will ring you when i'm at the unit.

you have to ring me and let me know because i was there for ages,,there must be a techniqe that i don't know....this whole build has taught me so much about this engine,mistakes have been made but then i have learnt from them,pm me the secret to bleeding the engine cooling system please

sorted the problem guys,that was awesome of you lot to help me so quickly,with rav only being a phonecall away it was a relief....the tps was waaaaay out, i have adjusted accordingly,also tightened the headbolts a further 30 degrees. but what a c**t to bleed the cooling system through nearly half a ...

i was just thinking aswell...shouldn't the throttle body make a small internal click just before it opens and closes? i think thats the throttle pos sensor because mine isn't doing it! the last inlet did...

@rav,i will check the tps in the morning,one of the screws is a pain in the arse to loosen! @t0wn325i, yes i will check the cable too... @lee, it says in the manual to torque the headbolts another 30 degree after 20mins running,is this correct or wrong? also it was idling erratically but not 2k rpm!...

hi guys, i have just changed the headgasket and put the m30 back together. first start the engine idled right up to 5k rpm,the reason for this was because the intake manifold gasket was leaking,so after scraping my knuckles i tightened it and started again....now it settled the idling but it seems t...

where abouts in leicester you from then?? i have had 3 in total,never should have sold one that i owned many years ago...the guy had no insurance and the copper rang me and asked if wanted it back!

personally i like it....bit too much for the road,but it would look great parked up near a pitlane somewhere.

part number 11617549043.

8 of please,price and availability....

thankyou,

kieran

proper motor that...and in such nice condition for its age

lock the thread please mods...

back on topic, if it is a genuine Hartge ECU it will have Hartge stamped into the Aluminium casing along with a signed sticker from the technician who did the install, here's a picture of mine, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/stevo2/SDC10274.jpg if yours is a genuine one leave it alone it wil...

its all about the fact that i'm always nice to people because were all into the same cars,but when somebody takes it that one step further it becomes insulting....so let me say it again...i am stating the facts now. i hate being belittled especially when it happens too many times on the same thread.

lol no fizzy drinks,don't drink....just idiots jumping on peoples threads acting like they know everything and making newbies feel belittled. i see it happening time and time again...i'm sure it isn't just me who feels like this.
