See you next season then !

Which series?

I work for AMR and we supported Beechdean in the British GT / Blancpain series this year.

Brian I'm aware this however I was in need of a new fuel pump and this is the one I have used. I appreciate what you're saying however in a motorsport or tuning situation people may be interested in using this. The price for a 'standard' pump was not that different to this one and as I will be raci...

They will be about 2 Ohms or there abouts if I recall, what readings are you getting?

Easiest way is just apply 12v and gnd to the solenoid and hear it clicking.

Nothing wrong with those manifolds, good for 450+ and don´t crack from what I have seen.

On the M42 you can´t fit it in the wrong place.

go for a standalone system, all the flexibility you need to get the most amount of your engine.

if you are hitting the pressure plate more then likely you DONT have the 323i E21 release bearing.

I need to order this ASAP.
What is the quickest method of doing so?

Thanks.

Standard injectors are not really good for unless you raise the fuel pressure.
Standard ignition will be fine.

The mapping side of things are spot on cant fault the mapping or the mapper :D The injectors were only running at 85% of duty cycle, it's not so much that they were "leaning out" they just wernt spraying like they should, To be fair, I did send the duff one back to injectortune and they replaced it...

To properly run a supercharger you need to know at what charger speed you need to run it for the engine. I.e the pulley ratio between the charger and the engine. To do this properly it´s best to know the airflow/pressure character of the supercharger and then math out the ideal speed so you can then...

Do you have a compressor map for that supercharger so you can succesfully run the charger at the right speeds and choose how much power you are after?

From there injectors sizes and possibly tuning choices can be suggested.

for only an additional 100hp I don´t think turboing is worth the effort and cost. Two GT35´s are for sure way to big, But given that you have two 2liter engines, two T28R´s from a SR20DET would be a nice setup I would think, reaching 600hp+ without to much trouble turbo wise. Not sure on the engine ...

What is your power goal? without that sort of information it´s impossible to reccomend any turbo size.

This pertains to vanos M50 engines.

Please report errors to me or suggestions.

That doesn´t mean you need the whole loom, the crank sensor wiring, 60-2 wheel and VR sensor + bracket can all be installed totally seperately. As long as you get shielded wire and a 3pin junior timer connector you can plug the vr sensor right in. Remember to ground the shield on one side so that yo...

But does the gearbox actually replace the 240/310/320 boxes PnP?

I have blown the second 240 gearbox with my 328i turbo. This time around all but 5th gear all shoot to pieces. Thankfully I made it back home. I´m looking to replace it with a 100% PnP replacement box, I know the S50 Euro and 328i Z320 box are but are there any diesel boxes I can fit in there withou...

post all the numbers from the gearbox

Sounds like a massive vacuum leak in where it leans out with more engine speed.

First you might want to ask yourself what is the purpose of the car? Motorway cruiser/warrior or in town cruiser ? In general there are no new engine swaps to E30´s. Just about all have been done. It´s just down to what you want your project to be, making bits, researching and solving, wiring, stand...

The 328i gearbox is the top choice for smoothnes and powerhandling.

Instead of writing a random post I created this document using the ETM documents for the non vanos M50. This details which wire from the loom goes where. Best seen by their colour, double checking is important of course. Should make it easy for anyone wanting to wire their own VEMS ecu´s to M50 non ...

I can do peoples ecu wiring for them for 225pounds + return shipping. This will include testing ALL used functions so that the engine will start on the first go and calibrating wideband sensors if needed. Doesn´t matter what engine is it as longs it´s not a full blown S62 or similar (S50´s and M60´s...

I guess if enough people are interested then sure it´s possible.

I highly reccomend people use Hall effect sensors, they are totally speed independent so the ecu will be triggered on the first cycle for sure, might take a cycle on two on a VR sensor depending on gap and what not.

Where are you based? A VEMS package is 720pounds now which includes VEMS ECU Wideband sensor, wiring and connector Air temp sensor If the car is running, then depending on what you need mapped, I´d supply you with a base map for your engine, then your local tuner must be able to put numbers into fue...

Unless you are willing to do your own soldering 500pounds will not get you a fully working system with everything you need. You will need ECU and Wideband monitoring of some sorts I reccomend the VEMS as I have mapped ALOT of them, turbo e30´s or not. You are best to stay away from any sort of piggy...

He had a LHD car. The M20 ebay manifold doesn´t need modifiying. I somehow thought the discussion was about m20 turbos. For an M50 turbo I would reccomend picking up the LHD T4 top mount ebay manifold from the states. Get a T4 flanged turbo (Borg Warner S256 for instance) and then device a dual pipe...

The ebay holsets are not authentic Holsets, but not to take anything away from the ebay ones they have been known to work well. My friend used a HX35 on a ebay turbo manifold, running standard compressoin and 1.5bar reguarly until he bent a rod. Must have been pushing about 470-500lbs torque at that...

It is a matter of space and cost basically., Mostly space

I wouldn't use them tbh - this was done by zoners many moons ago and the conclusion was that the m50 injectors have a 4 point spray pattern where as the m20 ones are straight down and the m50 ones would cause bore wash as it didn't send the fuel in the same direction as the m20 ones (or something l...

A M52 will not fit.

Either a M50B25 non vanos or M50B25TU (vanos) would be the right one.

Where the downpipe goes depends on what your turbo manifold looks like.
