Bought an m20 sump, really good seller at good rates, really happy with the quality of the part. Really quick delivery too.

Thanks!

Sorry let me rephrase my question, I was thinking either 15s or 16s not 16s or 17s. my bad

What do you suggest will be a perfect setup?

I'm not sure which wheels to go for, I want to either go for 16x8 ET0 or 17x8 ET0. I'm looking for a pokey look, let me know if 17x8 will rub then I can prepare my fenders to be rolled. This is what I'm looking at so far - http://www.srbpower.com/products/XXR-002-PACKAGE-16x8-ET0-4x100%7B47%7D114-SI...

For some reason my clutch pedal can retract all the way up but the only thing that stops it is the plastic head cap that sits on top of the pin on the clutch master cylinder. The problem with that is if I lift my foot off the clutch too fast it will come off the master cylinder which results in it n...

I just read a thread about a possible purple/grey wire on the loom being fed 12v and telling the ECU the air con is on even though I don't have air con.

Could this also be a possibility? Would it really cause such an increase in rpm at idle?

When I did the engine conversion I was sure to replace the inlet manifold gaskets and the throttle body gaskets. So that can't be it. Blue sensor is definitely a possibility. Throttle position too. I think it's wise to try the cam cover gasket and the filler cap as they would probably be the cheapes...

I've got an E30 316i with a 325i m20 engine in it. I'm currently getting high idle, sits around 1.2k rpm. I suspected it to be the IAC valve, however tried a different one and it's the same result. There's no splits in the major intake hoses, there's a few in some of the breather hoses however they'...

Had to get a complete new loom from an E30 320i tourin and have now put it all in. Without connecting all the coolant hoses up and bodging the intake system together quickly I turned it over and after a few cranks boom! it fires up. Had to turn it off right away due to no exhaust so it was mega loud...

Sorry I meant TPS as the e30 member TPS haha, but still thanks Brian

There's a loom down a scrappy from a E30 320i tourin which I was thinking of taking, suggestions?

How much for TPS?

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if the wiring loom on the E30 325i is the same as the E30 320? As I received a loom with my M20 engine from an E30 325i but the loom is pretty much fucked with broken connections. I just want to know if I could use either one? if so does anyone have one they'd be will...

Needed a rad with the res and hoses really quickly to complete my Engine conversion.
Bish bash bosh done in one day. Cheers buddy.

Engine mounts are in, sits a lot better. Run into all sort of problems so far. Not entirely sure how the power steering pump tensioner goes. Had to relocate the power steering res as the hose didn't match up with the power steering pump inlets. Anyone else had this problem using 316i bits and bobs, ...

Oh yeah, thanks Daimler I just noticed. Bought the 325i mounts. So far so good, get it all together Wednesday, I'll keep you updated

How would the circular mounts fit in the 316i chassis if the indents are a pyrimid shape?

Ahh right, the problem is the 325i engine mounts I've seen look circular, where's the indentations on the chassis of the 316i is a pyramid shape. Any suggestions? Also come along another problem, need to source a hear linkage as the guy didn't include it. So far, possible engine mounts, steering pum...

Cheers mate, is it the sandwich plate adaptor at all? Also does anyone know if I have to change the engine mounts, as the 2.5 doesn't seem to be sitting quite right, the 316i has a pyrimid type indentation with a rubber mount over it and it sits on one side fine but is not on all the way the other s...

Ok. M20 engine is on the mounts, just needs to be bolted up. Found out I'm gonna need the power steering pump for the 325i was the 316i one doesn't fit. Wired up the bit of the loom on the new engine that was cut off (the plug) to my plug, wired together by colour coded wires, ignoring any wires I d...

Does anyone know if the E30 325i uses the same AFM as the E30 325? I'm looking at buying an inlet adapter to install an after market filter on it. currently looking at this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290467549740?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_2041wt_1163 would it be the same...

Has anyone removed their black bumpstrips and filled the holes with filler and resprayed?

I'm looking to remove them and wanted to know the best way of going about it?

Thanks for clearing that up Brianmooore, I just wanted to clarify it.

I heard the prop would fit alright, sbut a a man of experience I will try source a new prop, cheers John

Well the wires are there but I think he's cut off the plug, couldn't I just wire my plug onto it and plug it in?

I'm trying to understand what the loom is, it comes with the bulk of wires however it's been cut before it enters that bit where the plastic is covering over, bulkhead area. Is the bulk of wires the loom?

Anything else anyone can advise me before I go ahead with this? Can I use my power steering pump from my 316i? for the M20 325i? also can anyone suggest an order of taking the old one out and putting the new one in? also the guy who I bought the engine off cut the bulk of the wires so he could use h...

Also, due to money being a bit of an issue right now.
Is it ok to use standard cheap discs and drums, pads and shoes?

I just need to get my brake system sorted.

Here's another problem, my standard cockpit fan doesn't work haha, I'll be getting that sorted over the next few days though :/ Erm, I'm not too sure unfortunately, I will be travelling to Littlehampton way for DWYB at Santa Pod. Quite a travel for the both of us consider I'm the South of England an...

Thanks for clearing that up Markg, I'll weigh my options out when I get the engine.

Also do you know what Fan will be good with this engine? I'll be using it for drifting and was thinking an Electric Fan, would I need one from the E36?

Will do Brian! thanks,

also I've been told I could use the same prop shaft, but I've also read elsewhere you can't
can anyone confirm this?

Sweet! exactly what I need.

So other than what we've discussed, it's pretty much plug and play right?

I found out the diff I think is 4.1, apparently the ratio on the E30 325i is 3.75,

wouldn't it give me better acceleration just leaving the diff in I have now, of course I understand top end will be sacrificed.

The diff I think is just the standard diff from a 316i from the E30, not entirely sure which one, I'll try and find out. I agree with my brakes, they need doing anyway, ideally I want to keep drums on the back as I go to santa pod for skid events so drums are better for locking up the back wheels. W...

I've recently just bought a e30 325i engine from someone, the m20 engine. It apparently comes with everything, gearbox, ecu and all the ancillaries, he even chucked in the downpipe. what else will I need to change or prepare for? Will I need to change my diff and prop shaft or can they be used (Plug...

Oh really? I have a cold start issue where if it's cold it will run like crap, if the revs are low and you try pull off it will cut out, you have to blip the throttle and then try and pull away. When it warms up, I assume the 02 sensor kicks in and it runs fine. I've checked for vaccum leaks and rep...

Ahh sorry, I didn't realise.
No I have the M40 version, the one I'm looking to replace would be the blue one then.

Thanks for getting back to me!
I'll look for the other thread.
