Dude, nice work man!!

Seriously, you did the swap fast and you did it legit. Looks really good and I like the white/black theme.

You should paint the "BMW MPower" logo on the valve cover white. I think that would look sick.

Anyways, keep it up man.

thanks man , and you took the idea right from my head!!! i plan to do that with the valve cover, probably during spring time, i mean cmon, there's always more things we wanna do to our e30's, right? =p

Haha I hear ya man. I am just wrappin up my m50 swap and my gf asked "what are you gonna do when its all done"? My response, "You can be done?!?!?!"

What are your plans for exhaust?

[e46s54dr]

Damn, I kinda like the all black mpower and fuel rail cover. I might just steal your idea.

exhaust is on today, although it's leaking from the manifold, gonna fix that next week, i ran two back to back resonators, 2.5 inch all the way back to a magnaflow muffler, with a simple tip, it's quiet. and yes, no cat.

[AlpineS50E30]

question for everyone, my s50 runs greats, one issue though, it hesitates if i floor it and come up on power quick, only issue is the minor exhaust leakat manifold i have...could it be the 318 pump i have not supplying enough volume of fuel? i'm running the 3.5 MAF with AA tune up to 7400 rpm's, fuel pressure is at 50 psi idle.

[AlpineS50E30]

or can an exhaust leak on an s50 cause it to hesitate sometimes? also, on occasion, it misfires at idle.

[KillaCams]

Quiet is important in NY trust me i know lol assholes gave me a ticket as i was parking in front of the house. Good luck working out your minor issues, should be around tomorrow or sometime during the week i gotta come see this thing, btw text me i lost my phone a few weeks ago and all my contacts.

ok so, fixed the hesistaion, didn't know AA software needs the VSS hooked up to run properly, runs a lottt better, i've decided i'm going to change the fuel pump anyway, i feel like it's holding back, going to put a walbro pump, and should be fixing the exhaust manifold leaks this week sometimes.:)

I believe the walbro and the stock pump have the same flow rate, no?

[328ijunkie]

nop, stock pumps are 190 LPH walbros are 255

[AlpineS50E30]

well, do you think the stock pump would limit me?

[e30 fa life]

hey mike got your walbro today...........:p
