I NEED HELP REGARDING LAMBER SENORS

[Griffffo]

HI guys out there I am planning on purchasing a set of extractors which have the lamber sensor on them. only problem is that my 1984 e30 323i auto pre facelift jetstronic doesn't seem to have a lamber sensor!!! does this model even have a lamber sensor????? I desperately need someone out there to send me some pics of there 323i
exhaust manifold-where it bolts onto the exhaust pipe
-lamber sensor
-and the pipe that recycles exhaust gas back into the air box

UK and most Euro cars have none of that emission garbage. The septics did not get a 323i E30 .

Just screw a blanking plug into the LAMDA sensor hole and ignore it.

what do you mean by "septics"?

[Cloggy Saint]

Septic = septic tank = yank = Americans.

HAHAHAHA
MOPAR OR NO CAR I love yank tanks my dream car is the 1969 dodge charger!!
in Australia we say "V8's are for big boys with big toys and sixes are for little boys with little toys!!"

I used to own a 323i and it didn't have a lambda sensor on it

thanks mate did your 323i have the holes on the the top of each manifold oulet that connected to a pipe that ran to the air box?

[ChrisHC]

Lamber sensor? I suppose it is the lambing season!

[HairyScreech]

Lambda bosses are M18x1.5 thread IIRC so a normal bolt with the correct thread can be used as a blank if it is cut to the correct length.

[Griffffo]

and also does anyone know were the stock 323i manifold bolts up to the exhaust??

[Brianmoooore]

Do you realise that the title you have chosen for this thread implies that you are "looking for information on licking Spanish men"?

Very few of us on here will know much about the complex type of exhaust system BMW fitted to your car, other than what can be seen in the ETK. UK and cars for most of the rest of the world just had a simple cast iron manifold(s), either one piece or two piece, leading into twin steel downpipes.

Brian is right in that I have no idea what pipes you on about, all my 323i had was a six branch manifold strait into two exhaust pipes nothing extra

And Brian I didn't realise the "lamber senors" bit until you pointed out lol

[Griffffo]

haha ha I could never spell for shit haha what a fool how do I change it?
I get what yous mean about uk being different I will put some pics up on members e30 the album is "griffffos e30"

thanks how would it matter if I cut the bolt a bit short??

[pianist]

It wouldn't matter mate just use copper washer or some other means to seal it

[Griffffo]

cool thanks pianist how and where does the stock 323i manifold bolt up to the exhaust pipe though?

[Griffffo]

It wouldn't matter mate just use copper washer or some other means to seal it

how would I go putting some exhaust gasket goo on the bolt /washer to seal it?

[pianist]

I don't usually use the goo or exhaust paste as its known but much prefer the gaskets and washers like its done in factory.
as for where it bolts to the exhaust pipe: it bolts to downpipe first then it bolts to exhaust somewhere by the gearbox thats for standard manifold, my six branch one would go straight down and connect to exhaust where downpipe would be normally if it makes sense

ah ok I have the custom set up and the exhaust pipe bends up then meets the manifold halve way. where the extractors go down and strait. so that means I will have to make a custom pipe to go from the extractors to the first box

All of the new delivery E30 BMW's that where sold in Australia are Euro spec. Some second hand E30's are imports from the US and other second hand imports are from South Africa. All new cars had cast exhaust manifolds on them. No extractors/headers

gday I haven't got those pics yet but I will go and see it Thursday can you engineer the m88 swap for me?i want to register it with that motor

[MRE]

Griffo, we are just a specialist engine machine shop. The engineering will need to be done by a qualified guy so that it would pass inspection. In saying that, it shouldn't be that hard as you are still sticking with a BMW 6 cyl engine.

[Griffffo]

cool I know the hartge h35-24 ran the same motor just with bigger brakes. did the e34s and e28s have 5 speed autos?
