E30 Zone

Too many people truly have no idea how to setup an E30, the rear no ARB brigade are the worst

Additional air flow is not such a good idea. You need better cooling capacity, If not already, fit an oil cooler.

Not a spline as such, more of a locking pin through the motor shaft.

Moving the rack affects scrub radius, can be good for high power fast bend tracks but not so good for fast road cars.

Expect your £50 rack to end up being £500 to fit!

As Mags said, issues with manifolds and many don't like stiffer mounts and end up reversing the conversion.

Seeing as I need the clocks and abs sensor. I wouldn't mind dsc and abs system, so is it still not worth it? Chu, the Bosch 5.7 wheel speed output to the Instrument Cluster and ECU is not the same as the MK60. I have a digital wheel speed conversion kit for customers who upgrade E39's. This enables...

Must save that photo as I couldnt remember 100% which way round the configuration was

I see

What is the damage?

Pretty sure the bearing is on the rear section of an e30 M3 prop and the regular E30's have the bearing on the front section. So not compatible......

The very same people discussing MK60's have now come to me to get the system working. At Donnington I left the pits to get my laptop to find you all over my car with the bonnet open and you under the passenger seat looking at how things should be installed. As for something amazing, unlike your prod...

I was informed that the e39 abs talks to the instrument cluster. Mk60 can run standalone though. Some information for you Chu. Since other control units also require the wheel speeds, such as the instrument cluster electronics (IKE) or electronic damper control (EDC), the speed signals are processe...

Ive got the MK60 ABS on my track car, it cost me less than £100 in bits because I didn't feel the need for F1 technology You just cant help yourself........you got it working by calling everyone you knew for information, the very fact you have the audacity to ask people for help and then come out w...

Its not only the plug Brian, one of the metal pipes is also larger in size so is very specific to M3 and other E30's which required a pre supply pump.

This is a cheap replacement, otherwise its close to £300

Ive got most of an S54 in my workshop for cleaning, going to look awesome! Great engine this.

I think that may have been one of the reasons BMW started using them. Main reason was for use with DSC/ASC, etc. Plate type locking diffs. oppose the action of the electronics, while torsens behave themselves. Depending on the mapping, when programming pumps I can select a clutch differential in to...

A nice selection of OBC bulbs you have there Andy, do you want any OBC's to go with them?

Unfortunately, without an oil cooler you will have temp creep, If it was my car, this is what I would be investing in next.

Hopefully just a library photo as FAG hubs dont look like that on the reverse - they have cutaway portions to reduce overall weight.

SKF are no where near as good as FAG. If I ever have to replace a bearing, I pray its a FAG one thats on there.

I'd love an afr gauge in there (just because), but i can't see any with displays that small.

Make your own ;)

And you are quite correct.

Its an M20, you could use old rings and and wire wheel on the bores and it would still run as it left the factory.

It looks like the veins on the fan are moulded for pull operation, I bet you're loosing quite a bit of efficiency.

I have a thing about power management

This fan looks like its a pull version?

Just throw it in as is, fit the MK60 and enjoy!

I've read someone describe this as a problem to a solution.

Thermodynamics is an interesting subject. I for one would not be running a waterless coolant, especially not on an engine which has its cooling flow in a longitudinal direction, basically this is all non ///M engines. The ///M's have flow across the head/cylinders and have a better average temperatu...

For anyone else looking at this and thinking of not using adaptors for the pressure sensors its probably a good idea to point out why this is not a solution. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/Danharborow/track%20car/20150826_153634.jpg 1. Sensors are impossible to bleed, when installing new/dry...

On a race E30 the rear drop links need to be much shorter as the ride height is so low the stock length links would hit the boot floor under compression. You're still not that low so should be ok, but something to consider for the future.

Love a derv isn't that right Mr Ravi a‘aaaa

You don't want to go there Danny all these same guys came to me to get the systems working. Sound familiar a˜a

The side on which the driver sits doesn't have anywhere near as much bearing on the final power output as the electronics do. Many people can fit an engine and get it running, only a very few can actually realise the potential. ie being able to actually drive it, handle the power of the car is the ...
