E30 Zone

I do thrash it but it is my daily so will probably just use the standard ones then it's just the engines out and one of the mounts snapped so need replacing anyway , cheers

Seen some solid engine mounts as an upgrade to the soft rubber standard ones but they do have a bush in them just wondering how it would feel if I made some purely out of metal and is it even worth upgrading

haha cool

my mechanic specialises in turboing cars thats his thing but pretty much everything he uses is second hand and off the floor lol, not slating him hes mustard at what he does but i want good quality stuff

ive seen a turbo kit on ebay for my e30 at good money and includes a lot of goodies but just wondering what the quality of these are if anyones bought one and fitted, im tempted but ive heard horror stories

any opinions welcome

I have an e46 318 auto in silver that I'm breaking all parts available it's done 170 000 mile but runs a gooden but the gearbox pump has failed and not worth me fixing it, pm me for parts and prices, I'll put some pics up soon

I'm not just lightening it to make it idle shit in rebuilding the whole engine and want decent power and was going to lighten it anyway just wanted to know how much to take off, thanks to the people who actually gave me some decent answers

Why would you want the engine to hunt at idle?? If you want a "lumpy" idle then fit a lumpy cam lol :-) +1 If you shave too much off your going to have some fun in traffic trying to move off smoothly :mad: thats a good point i didnt think of that one 8O how much would you take off lol :roll:

it might sound daft but i like it lol the flywheels off the car at the minute and was gonna get it skimmed before it went in anyway so thought id take a bit more off than usual but need to know specifics so the professor can set to

how much weight can i take off a m20 flywheel before it doesnt tick over at all, i want it to hunt up and down at idle

Yea found that out now lol cheers are the clutches the same though I've been told they are but want to be sure before I buy a 200 quid clutch

It might sound stupid but I don't know what engine is in the m3, I want to put a paddle clutch in my e30 m20b28 turbo but I can't find one at reasonable money for the m20 but I've found an alright one for an m3, will it fit ?? If anyone could shine a light it would be most appreciated cheers

Looking at buying a paddle clutch and the cheapest one is actually for an m3 will this fit a standard m20 engine or are they different

it says on it 1403866 on one side and on the other side has bmw on it but thats it really

electrics is well beyond me and i wouldnt have the foggiest with that lol, project stopped

very interesting build wish i knew that e36 front arch trick ive just riveted some wide arches on

i do like em though

haha fair enough ill try get hold of my mate and see if he even knows what it is lol if not ill gift it to a zoner lol it didnt cost me anything

nice one i have done heads before in college lol, how much were the rockers and what torque does everything need to be, already got rings and theyre on the pistons so no worries there

whats it worth as i dont need it lol

i bought a crank and pistons and a few bits off an old mate who was having a clearout for my m20b28 build and he also gave me a crank he claims strokes to a 3.2 but ive not heard of this, does this sound right and if so whats it worth ??

i will be running an oil cooler for piece of mind really especially when your boosting, a cool engine is a happy engine lol decent intercooler and oilcooler will promote this as well as keeping your oil healthy for longer

doing the same to mine soon ive got the crank, rods, low compression pistons and all the seals and gaskets but still need a lot as im converting to a manual box and putting a turbo on,ive never done anything like this before so this thread is very handy but is there anything i should watch out for l...

what a collection

haha i failed to mention that its an auto aswell so i had it coming really lmao just bought some wheels on ebay for cheap so should look good again no one likes an oddball steelie

could of been worse but it went 180 after a bit of a tank slapper and mounted the curb and completely destroyed one of my wheels yet to find out any other damage, i need an lsd badly

engine and box will fit with a bit of work to the loom but youll need the propshaft i think the mounts are the same, however the e30s are built much better than the e36 but if the bits are cheap id go for it but the 2.0s are a bit numb and as for the formentioned 2.8 litre thats not a wise move as t...

Not much in it then. Found one very cheap so gonna go for it cheers pal

Is that bad or not lol

Looking at an engine and it says its a non vanos but don't know what that means lol it's a 2.5 e36 engine btw

It can't possibly suit everyone but I think a square route fairly central in the country with 2 points on the east and 2 on the west probably about 600 miles or less with the original plan of a photo showing your car ,receipt and landmark would be the easiest way of doing and will attract more drivers

Like the sound of that Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the bees

Probs just me being thick but how do you upload pics

Item spot on and super fast delivery cheers A+
