728i m52 FINISHED!!!!

[magpie]

there's a lot of shite on this donk that wont be used so i'll check in here before the carnage begins.

if any one spots something i need to do or should be aware of then don't be shy

here we go again .




in this pic the smaller pipe with the jubilee clip goes to the throttle body,now do i blank this off as i'm getting a complete m50 intake?



brown temp sensor needed here yeah ? and the coolant hose to the right goes to the throttle body or there abouts do i blank this off ?



is there a plug for the injector rail, or do i send that to Dan [injector rail] not injectors.when i send the loom.

basically the loom is still attached to the m52 inlet manifold via the injector loom .



also some kind of breather from the dipstick [blocked] do i blank this off or do i need an e34 dipstick tube ? the stick itself is broken at the top so can't be used and is this 7 series sump good to go in an e30 ?



got

clio servo
m20 clutch and lightened fly,starter motor
e36 engine arms

i have a list that covers most if not all parts needed and is in progress.

so just a few small questions to begin with .

[Duke137]

Mick PM on way

[eko]

Mick,inlet on its way to you but brown sensor broke in half on removal so youll have to pick one of those up.

[magpie]

pretty sure i've got one ,i'd better check though .

what about this injector loom malarkey does it unplug on the loom or shall i just pop the whole part off the injectors ?

[DanThe]

It unclips off the injectors, a small screwdriver to flick the wire clips over slightly will release the injectors.
Keep the dipstick tube, just black off the oil drain as you wont be using it with the M50 manifold.
The brown sensor will need the thread turning down and fitting into the head where the throttle heater outlet is at the moment. The return from the throttle heater is the small section of the steel pipe, cut the long bit off and weld it up

[eko]

Just pop the plugs off the injectors mate

can i send you the sensor for turning down along with all the other parts that i need sorting

[DanThe]

Go for it

[magpie]

[leeparkes]

Didnt take you long to go 2.8 did it Mick

[magpie]

Didnt take you long to go 2.8 did it Mick

it's a job Lee.i'm still m50 till it dies .this is just a dress rehearsal

[magpie]

finally all the parts are here including a nice 2dr M///tech kitted 318i.

so the recipe is complete now we can make a cake

the diff,zaust and prop are now removed and all fluids drained.the loom is all UN-plugged and the 318i m40 donk is ready to be pulled first thing tomorrow morning.


this is getting an e46 rack with all DanThe parts i.e fan loom,m52/e30 engine loom etc basically everything he makes to do this conversion has been bought.i'm using an m42 g/box with lightened fly an as-new clutch and recon starter,it's getting a huge fookin zaust s/s system.check these mofo tail pipes !

also we have a 3.64 lsd and my customer even found an alloy thermostat housing on egay for £7 odd,well scavenged imo.

pics/problems and ultimate glory to follow ,can it be done in a weekend let's get fookin busy

[magpie]

just noted the reg,



who cares

[e30-EVN]

Lol go for it mick!!

I was gunna say it didn't take you long but someone got there before me lmao, and then I read down..... Lol

Won't be long before you go the same way, esp when you get to drive the customers car!!!!! Hehe

[magpie]

^^ it's got 3/4 of a tank

well bad light and rain stops play today. pulled the m40 donk,got the rack built up and bolted in,clutch and g/box bolted up,correct alternator for the e36 loom fitted,metal thermo housing and 80 deg stat fitted. oh and the clio servo all bolted up.

it goes in tomorrow weather permitting .

i'm missing the 80 degree fan switch for the rad though,anyone got a part number for it ?











i really need to build my garage next

if Craig's up for it

[DanThe]

Mick you need to get the plastic cover back on the rack input shaft, it will be fcked in no time if water/shite gets in there. Cut it down if you need to but dont leave it off

Part number for 80°/88° fan switch = 61 31 8 361 787

[magpie]

cheers Dan,i did tell craig to leave it on,i just hope i can find the fooka again .

[magpie]

found the rack cap and re-fitted it,the engine is in with fan and rad.

big thanks to Craigeeb.i felt like i never pulled my weight today due to getting soaked on Friday i'm all snotted up and couldn't get in to it today.


one more day and it will be done.there's really only 5 hours a time i can put in to this.

i had some pics but deleted them by mistake

[leeparkes]

Good work!

Won't be long before you go the same way, esp when you get to drive the customers car!!!!! Hehe

This/\/\ Test drive FTW.

[magpie]

now then now then.

my chipped m50 with a 6kg m20 flywheel ran 14.7 secs @ york in full trim even the double sub box and spare wheel done the 1/4 mile .

the m52 boy's don't have a full second on me, i'm happy with that .

next will be an m52 though,can't feel left out now can I

[leeparkes]

Average for an M52 in a facelift shell is mid to low 14's.

[magpie]

a 3.91 diff would get me a quicker time .i do like the mpg return from the 3.64 though.

[magpie]

thank fook for that!

we fired it up at the first chance to make sure it ran before going any further....

[youtube][/youtube]

then fitted everything else we had. till confident it was ready to bleed the coolant and check the fan kicked in before the test drive.

i can't drive this ,the e36 a/c rad leaks badly from the lower filler bottle part so 6 ltrs of anti-freeze get dumped on my drive and some nasty noises become apparant now the exhaust is fully fitted.

[youtube][/youtube]

it's pitch black and we are cold and hungry ,this isn't good.


today brings sunshine, the alternator and both pulley belts were changed and a new rad on order from gsf will be delivered tomorrow.

after 3 months it's over.

i hope that's light up ahead and not a bloody train!



final update shortly .

[randomspeedfreak]

make sure that zorst has 50mm dia pipes otherwise i think you lose power

[magpie]

she's phat ^

[randomspeedfreak]

she's phat ^

[magpie]

after a poor start to the the day i finally got out there in amongst it again...



fitted new rad and filled it up again,more anti-freeze and it bled up 1st attempt with heat at the heaters,just waiting for the fan to kick in



after watching the temp gauge get close to red i switched it off left the ignition on and checked the relay's,both fan relays are clicking so a wiggle of the fan plug and it kicked in to life on full speed for a while then down to low speed and then off.



donk bleeding position



fitted some foggy's





changed the oil now it's hot then noticed the vicious fan




it's got some noisy injectors but that's it just about finished bar bolting the the bonnet on and fitting the tech11 valance.oh and a 6-pot code plug .

then i get to test drive it

[youtube][/youtube]

it's getting a recon alternator as the one fitted makes a row
