Hello & Welcome to the Zone !!!!!

Ok, the Zone Forum & FaceBook group page would be a good place to start.

Hello, Welcome to the Zone.

If you want the car to go to someone that will be more likely to "restore" it, Put up an advert on here, or on the Zone FB group page.

Where abouts are you located ?

Whats the rotor arm like inside the dizzy cap ?

Thanks Mick !!

I'm about !!!

Afternoon Folks........

Not sure, are you member of the E30Zone Facebook group ?

Yes, It was built by Paul Smith.....

Removes/fools the Vmax limit on a M5.

could of took the ECU out.............

It basically means you can do more welding before the "overheat" kicks in.

The 151TE has a duty cycle of 60% @ 65 amps.

as a example, it means you can weld @ 65amps for 6 mins out of every 10 minutes.

The main difference between the two is that the 160TM has a higher duty cycle than the 151TE.

Powerwise they will be the same, 150Amps max from a 13amp 230AC single phase supply.....

If they are using mild steel filler wire on stainless, the welds will crack.....

Overheating is not a common problem on the 325i.

The problem stems from either the water pump or fan viscous failing, which are prone to failure just like any other part....

If the system is in tip top order, then there is no need for anything else other than normal coolant....

what year is the E28 ?

As Me and Pete have told you on Facebook, you can try the spare starter you have, but more than likely it will be a damaged ring gear, but as Pete said, you can use the flywheel of the E28 you've got coming.....

There is nothing else on the block that will help you, and BMW will tell you that aswell...

Only way to confirm is to measure the Stroke and Bore....

That will be the Engine Serial Number.

look at the bottom of the block, inlet side.

Engine Type number or Engine Serial Number ?

Its got the B25 head (early one) and inlet manifold.

The engine type number and engine serial number have been removed. The numbers you can see stamped by the bottom of the dipstick ARE NOT OEM. The engine type number should be within the red circled area, with the engine serial number just below the red circled area. The engine type number should be ...

got any pictures ?

Answers:

1, 13.25 Volts at the battery with the engine running is fine, <12.8, then start to worry.

2, the 0.3 Volt difference is caused by resistance in the extra wiring and components that the switched live has to go through.

thought that might be the case, as ive not heard of anything for that engine.....

Evening all....

Been asked to look at "improving" a M54B22.

are there any basic mods that can be done to this engine, ie, manifold swaps as such.

Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no EGR valve on the M21B24.....

Black smoke at high revs from a diesel is normally to much fuel. there could be a problem with the fuel injection pump.

no mention of the close ratio "sport" gearbox on the options list.... VIN WBAAA1304J8252854 Type code 1113 Type 325I (USA) E series E30 () Series 3 Type LIM Steering LL Doors 2 Engine M20 Displacement 2.50 Power 125 Drive HECK Transmission MECH Colour SCHWARZ (086) Upholstery (0295) Prod.date 1987-1...

No, M3 screens are bonded to the screen frame, and are therefore slightly bigger than the type that are fitted with a rubber. and I don't think there is enough frame work exposed the bond the screen on the touring.

looks like my old 320i grill !!!

car wont start with diagnostic plug start-up, that is only for turning the engine over...

No safe mode on these ECU's....

how dose it run if you set the throttle stop properly, IE, the butterfly completely closed and the TPS adjusted accordingly ?

Thank god for that !!!!!

I think all the thanks should go to Brian and Grrrrmachine, I just pointed Ben in the right direction....I would have never found that bodge in the fuse box...

OMG......Please fire up !!!!!

This one fried my head.....
