jesus, party alarm. E30 question guys. 4cyl pre facelift with a 6cyl swap. Can't get the cooling system to bleed. The expansion tank is on the driver fender and kinda just rests there, has since I bought the car with the swap. What do I need to do to bleed it? Also, valve adjustments are tits. Also also gently caress doing timing belts and water pumps on the m20, the m50 actually makes sense.

NitroSpazzz posted:Debating between a S50/52 or M20 stroker for a possible future project. Thought it was as simple as using some parts from a super eta engine but apparently there's about a million drat ways to do it. Guess I need to figure out how much money I want to spend and how much power I want. Stroker M20 is going to cost you at least as much as an S50/52 *and* you still have to do valve adjustments every how often. I was on the same line of thinking and was fairly set on the stroker M20 until the last time I had to do the valves and then I said gently caress this lovely loving engine and gently caress these loving valve loving adjusters. It wouldn't be that bad if the brim on the head was 3/4" lower than it is. Just enough to allow you to get the feeler gauges in there at a decent angle rather than having to fight the bastards in there. And then I found a full M52B28 swap on craigslist for $1200 and that sealed the deal.

drat how the hell. We were trying to figure out what we would need to do to fit 225 on the racecar, 275 would be pretty fun.charliemonster42 posted:Stroker M20 is going to cost you at least as much as an S50/52 *and* you still have to do valve adjustments every how often.

Just a heads up, the Spring Brodeo is coming up in a couple weeks. Mostly an E30 meet but other BMW's usually show up as well. R3V link - http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=349134 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/events/912546888789473/

So thinking about going to that meet inspired me to go dick around with the car this evening. I've had a persistent issue with a crappy idle, usually just when it's warm. My bs gauge thinks it's throwing too much fuel at it. CEL will illuminate at idle, any little movement of the throttle will smooth out the idle and the CEL will go off. Stomp test will show code 1222. I have changed the o2 and hunted down vacuum leaks, which both did help with engine management under load, but the lovely idle persists. I unplugged the AFM and cranked it up, idle was smoother. Am I looking at a probable bad AFM or do I need further diagnostics? Do I have to go back with another AFM or are there any better options (like a plug and play MAF, that would be sweet).

Crappy idle like too low? or hunting? If you're running too rich you may want to think about FPR and injectors as well.

Moxie Omen posted:Crappy idle like too low? or hunting? FPR, that's no problem I can throw that at it. Injectors, what is going wrong with them maybe? Think they're not closing all the way? Edit:I feel like running better with the AFM disconnected, means the fuel delivery is probably OK. I'm not familiar with the older e30 motronic, but I had to go deep into an issue with another car, and running better in alpha-n points pretty hard at a bad input. angryrobots fucked around with this message at 12:48 on May 21, 2015 |

Whoa that turned out nice. You can obviously tell the difference but now that you know it fits maybe you can use acetone or something to smooth out the deposition marks. Does the direction of flow always face you now, or what? e: I dig the hell out of that. I can't stop looking at it.

That turned out pretty great despite the lovely plastic. Replacing ALL the heater and coolant hoses on a S14 car is a loving pain in the rear end. I wimped out and only did the ones on the front of the engine and going to the overflow tank. Went to replace the thermostat and can't get the loving sensors out of it, can't even get the block plugs out of the new one. So running old thermostat for now as well because  At least the water pump was a piece of cake to change. Fill, flush, fill then bleed the system today then take it for a spin.

Yeah, it was just a nylon test print at .25 mm layer height. I just got my ABS in and I should be able to get that looking super smooth. A few hours from now I'll be truckin' to Knoxville to get this motor built! Seat Safety Switch posted:Whoa that turned out nice. You can obviously tell the difference but now that you know it fits maybe you can use acetone or something to smooth out the deposition marks. No, but that'd be a good feature to add. It just is stuck straight forward, no tilting up or down or side to side - I'd have to go to a smaller gauge. Thanks, haha. Once I saw the render I got really excited about getting it into production. Party Alarm fucked around with this message at 09:32 on May 25, 2015 |
