For Sale / M42 Valve Cover
« on: November 02, 2012, 10:48:01 PM »
I have a valve cover that I need to sell.
It has been professionally Sonic cleaned and Glass blasted for my e30 restore.
Unfortunately, I have abandoned this project.

I'd like to get $55 shipped to your door for it.

I can do Paypal.  PM me if you want it.

How-To's / DIY M20 flywheel conversion
« on: May 26, 2010, 05:09:21 PM »
Here is a picture of the difference in the flywheel with the pressure plates...  The m20 unit is on the right.  You can see that it is smaller.  I measured around 3/8 of an inch difference in the two.  And like I said... I used a 325i throw out bearing for my swap and it's still working perfectly...

You can do this swap WITHOUT the use of a e21 323i throw-out bearing.  

I did the swap and am using:

325i starter
325i Single mass Flywheel (Lightened to 11lbs)
325i Sachs clutch kit
325i throw-out bearing.

Engine + Driveline / NGK Plugs

You're supposed to be a purist,  NGK plugs are BMW blasphemy. We are only allowed to run Bosch.

Engine + Driveline / M42 + Getrag 260?
« on: April 28, 2010, 02:56:20 AM »
I'm not sure how it is for e36s,  but for my e30,  the 240 tranny was a lot smaller than the 260.  The driveshaft was maybe 3 or 4 inches longer to compensate for that difference.

The differential wasn't that much different.  Maybe a half an inch smaller on the small case.

Engine + Driveline / Power Steering Delete

I just looped my lines...  P.S. is for women.   :D
Honestly though, it isn't unbearable and I prefer not having it.  

Here is a picture of what I did,  basically just cut the stock lines and then attached a hose with clamps...fin.

Engine + Driveline / Our wires interchange with those of a Hyundai
« on: February 27, 2010, 03:28:56 PM »
I went to autozone today to try this out.  The guy working the counter was extremely helpful and let me try out several different wires after he realized the ridiculous price of OEM replacements.  

The Hyundai wires DO NOT WORK.  

Although after trying several others 1994 Acura Integra LS wires work.  Although you will not be able to keep the valve cover plastic cover, because of the wire length.  

The price of the integra wires was $32.    I am going to run them until I can get a COP kit.
