Thats a shame, thought that maybe the case though, cheers for the quick response, best go spend some more money

Hi all, i did an m50b25 swap on my e30 and the head cracked, dont know how i only ran it once so i assume it had some headgasket gunk as a temp fix, anyway i bought a e39 528i on a whim not realising they dont have an x20 plug, so my question is can i use the loom that came off my e34 m50 with my m5...

I know but im using the car for drifting so want a strong clutch and can get a full clutch kit for an m3 for around £200 of eurocarparts

Just wondering if anyone has this flywheel? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMPETITION-CLUTCH-BMW-E36-M3-95-99-LIGHT-WEIGHT-FLYWHEEL-S50-S52-M50-M52-Z1452-/330920688317?hash=item4d0c68fabd&clk_rvr_id=904634410339&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true i want a lightweight flywheel as the dual mass is knackered and the clutc...

Ah right ok, so where and how much to get a delete? and also is wiring the ews up difficult?

cheers

Hello all,

the head cracked on my m50b25

i have sourced a m52b28 however has ews so could i use the red label ecu of the m50 il be using the m50 intake

Thanks

im using a zf320

im going to weld the diff as im using the car for drifting so not sure if this will make it stronger?

hi just wondering if anyone could tell me what ratio my diff is, im doing an m50 swap and wondering if its going to be geared to high

cheers

WELL THAT WAS MY INITIAL THOUGHT BUT IF THAT WAS TRUE IT WOULD RUN LUMPY ALSO IT RAN PERFECT IN THE DONOR AS I DID 200 MILES IN IT SO HOW WOULD IT GO FROM BEING FINE TO THEN SHAGGED, BECAUSE IT WOULDNT BLOW OUT? BEING SWAPPED FROM ONE CAR TO THE OTHER? ALSO IT HADNT GOT UP TO TEMP SO THE THERMOSTAT ...

riddle me this, just done an m50 swap from an e34 and fired it up now: the engine runs nice no missfire however it is chucking water out the manifolds and i mean chucking, so how is the water getting into the manifolds? its only got 4 bolts on each manifold does this change anything? and it looks li...

I imagine springs/dampers/alignment was different for every track too.

Yeah i agree but it will all be with in a range i would have thought?

Hi i was watching a programe on touring car legends the other night, and the e30 m3 made quite the apperance, i noticed that they handled amazing, just wondering if anyone knows the correct suspension setups that some of them ran like: wishbones struts springs dampers allignment that sort of thing c...

Yeah sorry its an m50, i have found some manifolds not sure if they have had the sensor ports welded up though, soon find out, if they have il just have to weld in something, cheers for the help

Hi all, i am using an e30 325i exhaust however it doesnt cross anywhere into a single pipe, can i just mount the lamba in one of the pipes or do i have to get an X section? cheers

im not 100% sure on that one to be safe i just went with a manual, if the the auto has the big guibo then i assume it will be however thats just an educated guess.

I am doing the exact same, i went for a e34 525i as they come with a zf310 which is alot stronger gearbox than the getrag im lead to believe. they already have the correct sump on, correct throttle cable, only thing i have had to buy is a prop and engine arms. With regards to power 500bhp can be ac...

mine was the same and my inner arch is shot and needs repairing, could be the same

ha i have been thinking 600mm is bait too big, but it would be floor mounted?

basically it goes inline where your fronts connect to your back, pulling the handbrake forces the fluid to the rears only giving instant lock and unlike the normal handbrake there is no cable to stretch

It all depends on how much work your willing to do Il give you a break down of my spend: Donor car (e34 525i manual) £450 from this i got engine, loom, ecu, correct sump, throttle cable and radiator, eninge mounts, ZF310 gearbox (good box if want more power than stock) Exhaust manifold (moddified) £...

Hello everyone, im getting a hydraulic handbrake tonight and i have a choice between a 600mm lever and a 280mm so my options are: 1. get 280mm and mount on top of tunnel 2. get 600mm and mount on top of tunnel (have more leverage but will be quite big) 3. get 600mm and mount on passenger side of tun...

SHE RUNS!!!! fuel lines were the wrong way round, cheers for all your help Brian much appreciated

I see the E30 was an auto. Have you disabled the starter inhibitor (gear selector has to be in N or P)? If not, remove the access panel above the glovebox, find two single plug and socket near the top right, both having a black/yellow and a black wire going to them, unplug both of them, discard the...

bridged 14 and 11 on the diagnostics port and turned over, so how do i make it do so on the key? cheers for the info by the way

1/ No idea what the first part means, but no, the pump shouldn't run when the engine is not running. 2/ You heard correct. Pump only works when the ECU sees pulses from the crank position sensor. 3/ Pin 15 is for the mirrors, heater fan, windows and sunroof. Nothing to do with the running of the en...

hi all, i have got a m50b25 out of a 92 e34 and putting in a 91 318i automatic, i have used the zf310 box, i have a basically removed from working e34 and put straight in the e30, only thing i have changed is e30 temp switch. 1. basically the ignition works, but the fuel pump only works when i bridg...

Pin 18 on the E30 loom, not 17 to pin 18 on the M50 loom. Black/yellow wire, and if your car has ever started, I'm sure it's there. Just rechecked the diagram armed with your info, it appears there is a typo on it, i have also looked at several other diagrams which also said 18 goes to 18, cheers f...

I havent tried to start the engine yet however there may be a problem because on the wiring guide i have it says, pin 17 from e30 to pin 18 e34 which is voltage whilst starting, however there is no wire on my e30 for pin 17 so do i need to supply this pin with power? i have no abs so could use pin 20?

Weird request, I'm building abit of a drift car, looking at doing a 5 stud swap for 2 reasons, more lock and half decent cheap coilovers, I want to run 16s and have read its hard to find 16s that will fit over m3 brakes, so my question is can I fit 328 brakes to m3 spindles/hubs? Cheers for any help...
