S52 engine noise

[328ijunkie]

ah. ive converted 2 different euro cars ;)

And yeah youre supposed to have a dampener on the front crank pulley. Nothing anywhere else. And i still doubt youre revving to 7500. Motor would have grenaded by now.

Stolen pic but look on the far left counterweight.

So the thing with teeth on the left is being read by my cps, but that doesn't do anything for dampening vibrations, right? realoem shows a vibration damper in addition to the impulse wheel on the back of the crankshaft.

And whyd you buy a treehouse adapter?

Heh, honestly 3 years ago Jon was the only guy that didn't baulk at making one for a euro running OBD2.

Can i assume you swapped a 318 and didnt change the coding plug? The stock limiter is 6800. Youre not revving to 7500 your tac just thinks you are.

It's a grey market 323i. I bought an adapter from treehouse, and had to splice a wire into connector that goes to the cluster. The tach appears to work, but I don't know how accurate it is. I'll try and find out some how.

The S52 crank i have has the toothed wheel bolted to the crank inside the block.

Like inside the timing chain cover or actually inside the block? I don't think I saw one when I had the pan off.

^Because youre running OBD2, he assumed you were running OBD1.

With no vibration damper your crank position sensor isn't getting any signal, but from that picture you don't have a cps either...

Missing vibration damper
motor mounts backwards
Installing engine with A/c bracket all bolted on....

Fair enough. Maybe I am.

Are you running OBD1 or OBD2?

I'm running OBDII, the CPS is on the back of the block. I have no idea what the limiter is set to, the only thing I've done is have the EWS deleted.

Usually I'm not so completely mechanically incompetent. Although, admittedly this is pretty f-ed up.

You know I bet Grant or iflytii would lend you some help they're in OKC and have swaps. Hell Bob is an OG swapper he had his running in early 05.

[328ijunkie]

Are you running OBD1 or OBD2? idk who in their right mind would set a limiter at or above 7500 on an S52. And if you really are missing your crank pulley you couldnt be running OBD1

And youre installing your motor mounts upside down.

Leak it down in the car before you remove it to see if you bent any valves on your shifting incident. if you think it went 7.5 k it may have gone a bit over that.

Talk to your local machine shop as to how to remove it. its beyond normal DIY tools to remove half of a broken crankshaft bolt cleanly, its really really hard stuff.

Two pulleys, but no big black donut with teeth like I see here:



Presumably I need one?

Wow.

Yes. Of course. You definitely need a vibration damper.

[jasapp]

OMFG Why haven't you had any of the MofO's come help you out? Since when are crank hub bolts reverse thread... I have heard TTY but never left hand thread....

I'll definitely keep an eye on that thread. I could sure use some moral support from other e30 owners over beer.
