Are those headers going to cause you fitment issues?

[emmanuel.dlc]

well sorry for the almost dead thread, i've been off the forums but i got updates :p

decided to open the diff (don't know for what!)



even worse, took the lsd apart





clutches, ears where in good shape! so, cleaned everything put it togheter and filled up with redline 75w90 about 1.75qts

new bushings and some paint to cover bare metal after cleaning it with pressure washer and everything is put togheter

about the headers, im not 100% sure they fit but im using green hexe's mounts i have basically the same setup that 610fcsteve used on his bronzit so i shodlnt have no issues.

i got the e21 tranny mouts and the trans brace is being fabricated.

about the motor, finished the head with new orings all around, new valve seals and everything on the victor reinz kit

valves were regrinded



head put togheter torque'd to specs (22lbs, 90*,90*)



for the valve keepers i had to fabricate the tool to compress the springs as my spring compressor didnt actually get to the sprnigs because of the head walls being to high
i made a tool using a brake caliper compressor and cut to size using the cam tray bolts, i post picture of what i did later.

right now im working out the brake booster, i think im going the mk2 way as i found one cheap and of what i read, is the easiest to work with (maybe im wrong)

on the adapter, i have a few questions. i made a pinout but maybe you guys can verify it and i have 1 cable that i have no idea where it goes.

the yellow highlighted one is the cable i can't find where to match it the other

the pins 2 and 15 im not going to be using them but if it dosent hurt to match them.

here is my chart:




i have a square plug on my eta so 2 cables needs to be routed to the glvoebox for c104 (rpm and mpg), using e34 nv auto harness, do i have them matched right? im i missing something?

thank you in advance!

[emmanuel.dlc]

revised the adapter pinout figured out the 2 cables for the oil level but still there is cable on pin 6 from square plug that i can get to match

is it left unplugged? not used at all?

i verified all x20 colors and the table is now more acurate, care to verify it? maybe i messed up somewhere



thank you!

[Luis325]

I like!!!! Cant wait to see it done Emmanuel!

[emmanuel.dlc]

any thoughts on the wire diagram?

[emmanuel.dlc]

no help at all?

[TimKninja]

What you have there is exactly right. I used it and my car starts. Lol THANKS!

[emmanuel.dlc]

thank you!! my tmie was well spent then! glad to know it started.

no limp mode? or non vanos dont have that dilemma?

[emmanuel.dlc]

back and running!

well i let this die (almost), i moved, had a baby and let the e30 alone for a while


i got rid of the 85' coupe because it was too rusted and i didnt want to spend hundreds in "saving" that rust monster.... i bought this:



88' supereta running std converted. $900 with the racing dynamic back!

removed super eta and transfered my m50 to the new cage

to make the story super short, i got everything togheter and is running right now but i have this "little" issue right now:

http://youtu.be/NhXpjmpGeko

any thoughts? has brand new oem CPS, rpm signal is wired through the c101, green cable is wired on the back of the cluster

the only tachometer that works is the eta one, i have 2 7,000 and the original SETA and they wont read any rpm

enginebay shot

[emmanuel.dlc]

forgot to mention that it runs fine when cold, as soon as it warms up it starts doing this.

idle when cold 700-800~ idle

when warm stays a bit above 1,100-1,200 and then drops to about 900rpms.

any help?

[SpeedRacer85]

Oxygen sensor maybe, how many e30's have you seen in PR?

[emmanuel.dlc]

couple of thousands, why?

[SpeedRacer85]

No reason just asking I lived in St. Croix and I only seen a few of them there that people shipped from Miami just trying to see what kind of scene there is.
