Great numbers! I'm sure when you get some more miles on her she'll be even better.

Looks like the Ssquid is a better tune (smoother line... with no dips)

What are the spring rates on the Dinan? whats the lowering it offers... are you running ST sway bars? Do you have camber plates up front?

Love what you have done with your e30.

Nice work Nick! Glad to see you ripping the S**t outta that m42

What are you tire specs? 215/40/17? and alignment results?

Engine + Driveline / Re: High idle, she won't come down.

Regarding this symptom.  --- Not sure what roll this plays but when I lift the clutch at the point where the car wants to lurch forward and if I hold it there along with the brake it idles perfectly at 850. Once I release the clutch it jumps back to the 1k area
and idles there. The hoses do seem soft and mushy after the car is heated up.

Any ideas?

Another note... when I was inside the car (idling) if I pressed the clutch down I could hear a swooshing noise, let go of clutch it would go away.. engage and press down I would hear a some air... is that the vacuum? normal?

Throttle body switch meaning the TPS sensor? on the side of the TB.

I’m familiar with the beekeeper smoker lol

Just to confirm, the valve cover hose goes below the TB and the ICV hose goes to the bottom of the intake elbow?

Also, the spark plugs wires run from the front of the car going back... 1/2/3/4 ?

I ordered some performance vacuum hose from http://www.hiperformancestore.com/ I also ordered the fuel injector tops and will replace all four.

How can I check the hoses?

I should probably install proper vacuum line hoses, start with easy stuff first because I don’t want to replace unnecessary parts.
I will install a new gasket between the afm and the air filter intake as well.

Thanks for the link, I didn’t realize that you can replace those. Phew!

I did mix one of them up... it was the oil pressure unit and the gauge on thermostat. I had a check engine light come on and I reversed those two and cleared the codes. I have installed new oil pressure sending unit, and both temp sensors below the lower intake manifold.

I did try to clean the FPR with carb cleaner not sure if that messed up anything... also the AFM when I had the intake off to clean but used a rag as opposed to spray and was careful with the probe.

Would the check valve in the brake booster affect anything?

Other then that, two of my fuel injectors broke off on the bottom plastic, I did replace all the lower o-rings with new. Not sure if this is fuel related of hose.

Did you ever fix this problem... I know its an old post.

I just did the MUI and I have a high idle at 1K.. cold start its great at 850rpm... once it gets hot she's gets up to 1000-1100 rpm.

I didn't use vacuum hoses and used a heater hose... could this cause an issue?

Engine + Driveline / Fuel Injectors - Help

« on: October 15, 2018, 09:42:44 AM »

I have two stock yellow injectors that got slightly damaged when I removed to clean the injectors the plastic around was old and broke off the sides...

Looking to change them and when I go to this website for replacement I input the stock part number and I get these which are black ones.

https://www.autopartsway.ca/search.cfm?allveh/allb/allct/allsct/search:13641726988

Would these still be the same? what the difference between the black and yellow??

Thanks! I did some research and one member who has the unit also used an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and bump that to 4 bar I believe. Plus a chip for the computer.

Engine + Driveline / ITB - DBilas E30 M42 (1991) - Thoughts?

« on: August 15, 2018, 10:39:11 AM »

Hello,

New to the forum and just picked up a 1991 318is. I tried to do some searching but mixed thoughts.

Anyone have any experience with this kit? (I have also talked to RHD but their kit is made from M42 E36 not E30).

I understand you'll need a tune/chip, or has anyone done anything different in terms of tuning.

Thanks!
