Are you deleting the whole mess or repairing it to stock? I put mine back to original with all new hoses and it seems great (although I'll probably regret it later). Also, maybe replace your heater hoses while you're in there.

deleting the mess and replacing all other heating and cooling system hoses.

$238.00!! Pelican is not that overpriced. Mine was $15.00. Get the part no from real OEM and stick in the pelican search field

my error was i was looking at the m20 water pipe above the m42 pipe in the catalog. the m20 pipe is $238.25! http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/PEL_search.cgi?command=show_part_page&please_wait=N&make=BMW&model=BE30§ion=WATpmp&page=5&bookmark=23&part_number=11-53-1-714-738-M200

i got the lower intake off today. some how i managed to rip the fuckin wire out of the sensor on oil tower so i gotta rewire that. found out that the vaccum line on my fpr was cracked damn near in 2 at the nipple. that cant be good for performance. the water pipe was broke off in the block. suprised it wasnt leaking. i think im gonna replace all the rubber under the hood with silicone.

I was amazed at the difference in smooth running etc when I did the refresh. The COP conversion may have helped too. Either way my motor purrs like a sleeping lion.

i got a quick question.

this says to go from the valve cover to the throttle body. but the hole that is circled on the throttle body/ intake elbow is plugged... it doesnt even go all the way through. is that normal?

mine did not have a nipple on it like pictures above. its a hole, but at the end of the hole(when looking from the inside, is plugged)

Rafiki · « **Reply #218 on:** February 24, 2010, 02:51:41 PM »

wow, i got it. it literally goes to the throttle body. the picture threw me off.

Rafiki · « **Reply #219 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:01:02 PM »

i lied, im still confused. Where does the hose from the valve cover go? straight to the throttle body? or does it go somewhere before it reaches the throttle body

Straight to the throttle body; the nipple/connection is on the underside of the TB.

In a pure stock setup doesn't it go through the little combo air / coolant junction hose on its way to the throttle body?

the little metal nipple going down at a 45 degree angle? anyone know what size that is? its smaller than everything else

EDIT: never mind I was wrong.

rennen · « **Reply #224 on:** February 25, 2010, 08:21:12 PM »

OK, Quick question... Hoping for a clear answer.

Where does the nipple on the bottom of the throttle body connect to? Is it capped or brought in to the Intake Hose?

Thanks
