Mate, I have been been rallying a M10 engined car for 8 years now so here goes. It all depends on what you want but for starters yes you will want a 2002 engine(100bhp), preferably a tii one(130bhp). For cheap bolt on power use I would find a 121 type tii engine as the compression ratio is higher th...

No mate!

Wrong PCD which means the holes don't line up!!!

Si, I never heard that before mate I would have thought with your spec engine you would be okay as long as you have 34mm chokes not 32's?? Emission sidedraughts seems to be a contradition....They all suck gallons of fuel!! ...I would get opinions first from Dellorto dealers. If you do end up getting...

Si,

sorry to hijack the thread but Jase if this engine gets me a rally win then you d'man mate

I was thinking airbox but I've got to be careful with Eligibility scrutineers especially if I start doing well. I've got to find out if they had something pre-74 like that......

You need to check mate. I'm not sure about Dellorto Carbs. I would get it running first and then get it on the rolling road. Choose one that's got experience with those carbs and let them mix and match jets and stuff. My new engine is an ex-Formula3 motor but apart from making over 200bhp I don't kn...

Si, Pen and Paper? Chokes: 34 Main Jet: 1.25 emulsion tubes: F16 Aux venturi: 4.50 idle jet: 0.55F8 air corrector jets: 1.70 starter jet: 0.60F5 Accelerator pump jet: 0.40 Accelerator pump back bleed: 0.60 needle valve: 2.00 By the way here's a photo mid build of mine :twisted: It looks like I'll ha...

Si,

No worries!

I do know the setup you need as I got them written down but I'm knackered tonight as I've been building engines and shit...... I hate Oil!!! I'll post them tomorrow night ok?

Mark

Si,

Have you seen what I'm selling in the parts section?
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

It would be a safe cool addition to your motor mate!!

I new I'd seen the standard wheels on here somewhere.....

I'd go for a tatty 'is' aswell mate as you get the other goodies as standard aswell, mtec suspension which means bigger struts and sports seats to hold you in. You'll spend a fortune on an M10 engine for just the same power!! Keep it standard, take the lip spoiler off as it will last about one white...

Mmm, I would agree that the e46 is a far better looking car and it probably handles better as well but I think that's to do with development. My e36 feels like its on rails unless you are driving either very aggressively or at very high speeds, which then either loses your license or your life! The ...

I'd never say never but you'd have to offer me alot to part with it!!

It's simply the best car I've ever had, including 4 E30's

(3 325i's and 1 318is) sorry guys. I like the look of the e30 more though honest....

Mark

This is my wife's run about!! I hate letting the kids in it. 49,000 original miles!

Mark

Cheers mate!!

Andy,

Brilliant, simply brilliant.

I'll have to get a new race suit though, I look a right bell end in that red thing

Thanks alot!!

Mark

Si,

I had 25mm ones on. Now they are 55mm!!

Mark

Si, Good call on the socks best flow for dcoe's. I had mine on the rollers and it gave 143bhp at the fly and 185nm torque. One thing he did say was I was losing alot of power running short Ram pipes and shallow filters. I was dubious, but after driving it home and then ditching the filters and fitti...

Dale,

I missed that.

I left after the car started to run rough.

Nice to meet you, I bet your discs and pads are knackered now. LOL

Regards

Mark

Kinell!!

Just a few for you there Glen!!

Nice one Andy!!

Regards

Mark

Glen,

To be fair you did well keeping it on the black stuff for the time you did!!

Mega-squirt

Sounds like I missed the fun boys!! I obviously went home too early. My old bus handled the same wet or dry, lol 8O Good to meet up and put names to faces. Glen, Get the beast back on the road, sort the rear suspension, brakes and you'll have an awesome one off car mate, as you said multi-millionair...

As this is getting like a spot the e30 fest.

How about Goldie Hawne's 325i Cab in the film 'bird on a wire' Takes a reet 'ammering!!

Regards

Mark

M10man, That's what I want to do eventually, I'm waiting for the right one to come up second hand. If you add an extreme valve head it should be good for 180bhp while keeping the torque. Did you know the works Alpina cars had the F2 16valve heads on which gave 240bhp I think 210bhp is about the limi...

Si,

You can get to the plugs. BUT you have to have wiggly extension and a small plug socket. Otherwise your fooked!!

Mark

Anyone seen the e30's on TV recently? Last saturday at 21.00 itv1 'Afterlife' Dark two door can't remember whether it was black or not, one of the main characters drives it. should be on again tonight. Last thursday at 21.00 bbc1 'Spooks' another black two door and another main character owns it. Go...

Si,

Here we go I hope these help......

Told you it was tight!!

Regards

Mark

As above.

Si, I've got some photos on my phone of the manifold in the car
I'll get them hosted later then post them on here.

Just sold my e30 'is' and I'm a bit depressed at the mo

regards

Mark

Glen,

Mate, if you get that running and are able to use it, It will be well deserved.

I bow down to the sheer size of your gonads!! ooer!

Its bloody tight in the 2002 i haven't got any pics so far. I'll try and sort some... ....looking at you pics of the empty engine bay i reckon the Jaymic manifold will fly in. However I would recommend having a look at the Fritz bits one just because of the sparkplug issue. Its a right pain in the a...

The manifold is 2 1/4" which slides nicely inside the 2.5" system. Yes it is 2.5" all the way running through a large centre box. I was then worried about regaining some back pressure due to torque loss so I cut down a over axle bend and used a 45 degree and a 30 degree to route it around the diff h...

Nice one!! About the same as mine. I got a 4into1 manifold from Jaymic which is good apart from the pipe from number 1 cylinder stops you being able to get to the spark plugs :roll: Fritz bits do a nice Manifold though..... I made the exhaust up myself using 2.5" pipe from Jetex. There website is go...

Hi mate,

What's the spec?

Cam? etc?

Regards

Mark

Those HANS devices are a great design aren't they!! Simple but effective... Alot of racing drivers would be hear today if they had worn them. I hear they are quite restrictive. I don't know of any Rally drivers wearing them probably because you have to move you're head so much more due to opposite l...

Thats was a nasty one!! Hope everythings alright.. I can vouch for the strength of the e30 325i even without a cage as I did a similar thing in a country lane. I came round a fast left just a tad over the speed limit in the rain, and there was a entrance to a field which a tractor had emptied all th...

Right mate, The pipe on the left has a 90 degree elbow pipe and that fits to the brass outlet above it on the inlet manifold. The pipe on right has a long pipe fitted on a plastic connector that then fits to an elbow connection that fits to the AFM pipe on the bottom. Hope this helps!! Regards Mark
