E30 Zone

As Gunni said above, just use the speed signal from the E30 instrument cluster and it will work fine. This signal is already running through the C101 connector on facelift cars. You must have the speed signal connected, or the ECU will introduce a secondary rev limiter at 7K RPM which effectively l...

Nice work on the Brake servo sandwich plate. Is it moved enough to avoid cutting the inlet plenum now? :) thanks.... yes its moved quite a bit now, got alot of clearance, might be able to even use a bigger booster coz brakes not all that great at the moment..... Still getting ROAD SPEED SENSOR faul...

guess you mean the fuel pulse damper. I have removed mine because I run the whole E36 fuel system with matching pump and filter Thanks UweM3, i've been following your build, excellent stuff.... what eaxctly does the fuel pulse damper do? im running stock fuelling with my s50, can i remove this part?

Was changing the pipes at the feul pump under the car and noticed something that looks like a regulator, is this necessary or can i remove it, what does it do?

Finally up and running, heres a short video clip....... small things to sort out....

This may be a dumb question but i forgot which pipe goes where on the firewall into the heater, does the one from the head go on top or bottom?

Stock B25 pump won't do 5 bar for long, upgrade time

yep 5 bar...... thanks man..... could this cause the limp mode now?

Thanks guys, it has 2 lamda probes

gonna check the fuel pressure... btw. im still using the stock 325 fuel pump

Im busy doing a swap and got the motor and harness from the 98 model MZ coupe. Motor is fitted and wired up, car revs up fine but when driving sort of goes into limp mode or something....

btw. its an s52b32 euro
Help Please

Diff is done but also managed to get one off a mz roadster so fitted that.....also 3.15..only thing is the back cover was broken and thats the looker on the diff, huge cooling fins, anyway i had to use my e30 cover... :( had a problem where the heater pipes were rubbing against the intake, so shorte...

If you can't use the tapping (because it isn't there), it will have to go in the top hose, but as near to the rad as possible. It needs to be activated by the temperature of the radiator water, not the engine water. Dont u mean the bottom hose coz thats when the water comes through the radiator and...

Im busy installing a temp switch to activate my electric fans for cooling, was wondering which pipe should i fit the switch in? i have a 84 deg switch, is it better on the top radiator hose on the left or the bottom one on the right...

Please help

thanks, gonna have it changed but over here the thermostat is very very expensive

Thanks for the input ...

we dont have such hectic winters that u guys have so thats why im worried

On my s50 swap the water temp gauge goes to half on idle but drops to quarter when driving, on a winter morning the gauge drops between quarter and the blue block.... i did not renew the thermostat with the swap so im guessing its stuck open, any suggestions on how i would know the thermostat is not...

with my s50 swap, when the speedo is not working the consumption metre also does not work, it just moves from side to side continuously This happens on my E30 too since the speedo is used to work out fuel consumption. That fact it's moving from side to side probably means you're lifting off too muc...

Problem sorted.... the e36 sensor is actually shorter than the e30 one, Well, I was right that they're different lengths, even if I got it the wrong way around! Eco meter problem is caused by injector pulse width info not reaching it (or not being recognised.) any way of sorting the eco metre out?

Problem sorted.... the e36 sensor is actually shorter than the e30 one, it also has 2 of the same size pins where as the e30 one has one long and one short. I fitted the shorter e36 sensor and the speedo works. btw. with my s50 swap, when the speedo is not working the consumption metre also does not...

Had the internals of the e36 m3 diff swapped into my e30 casing, only problem is the speedo does not work, keeping in mind that the fins that spin in the diff that pass through the sppedo sensor were also changed to the e36 ones, should i change the sensor to the e36 one as well or would the e30 one...

I was using the getrag 260 tranny but swapped over to the m3 zf 5 spd tranny, with the getrag there are 2 wires from the cars harness which just plug onto the reverse light switch on the gearbox, with the m3 box there is a plug with green and blue wires(i think), do i just join them to the cars harn...

My diff is almost done, just waiting for the seals, i was a bit slow on the draw so my guy put in the 3.15 already and my heart was set on the 2.93, anyway i will try the 3.15 and keep the 2.93 ratios for the future...

Thanks for the link Ian. I can't believe I have never seen that thread before. As far as I understand it from that thread, you could modify the ramp angles to whatever you wanted. I'm suprised there isn't a market for the racers out there. I guess the difficultly comes on setting it all up. Doing a...

SAE30, I've updated my previous post to reflect your tyre size. The slightly smaller rolling circumference of your smaller radius tyres (due to the 40 profile) will bring your revs up slightly at a given road speed. The other way of looking at it is that your road speed will be lower at a given RPM...

With the ZF typeC 5-speed and the 3.15 diff and a set of 205/50/16 rear tyres, at 6500RPM your vehicle speed will be: 57 km/h in 1st gear, 96 km/h in 2nd gear, 143 km/h in 3rd gear, 192 km/h in 4th gear, and 238 km/h in 5th gear. These figures serve to provide you with an indication of your top spe...

okay so they inspected the internals of my diff, checking the ls, the guy told me that it had a bit of play? does this mean worn clutches? Play on what? If he's referring to backlash on the planet and sun gears this has nothing to do with the LS clutches, and you might be able to get away with it. ...

Also, while they are at it, get them to check the operation of the LS unit at the centre of the diff. If it's an old, well used LSD, the chances are good that it will require a new set of clutch discs. In which case, make sure they know how to reassemble the LS properly, set up the shims, measure/a...

not at the moment, i will take for you... i suppose u mean between the booster and the plenum?

well, feel free to pop round and have a go at my rear wheels when the car is jacked up. They turn BOTH the SAME direction when you turn one wheel. So I must have a very special car, it drives when it actually shouldn't :mad: And yes when I have only one wheel jacked up and one on the ground it is h...

On the s50 swap , Which water hose is used from the heater pipe(firewall) to the water pump and branches out to the water bottle?

tHANKS

I'm afraid it's not really a DIY job, unless you know exactly how to set it up again. It's easy enough to physically swap the parts, but setting the pinion pre-load, and getting the correct gear mesh is best left to someone with the tools and knowledge to do it properly. Ian. Thanks Ian. after doin...

I wanna swap the crown wheel and pinion, im gonna take the crown wheel and pinion from a e36 diff and put them into my e30 LS diff, please help

Anyone know how to swop out internals on a diff???
