That would be this Saturday! :) Not sure I will have much time to sit around and BS, but I will have to stop around P-Town anyways for a refuel. Time to pack those titainum balls of mine to drive this car 1200 miles :twisted:

There are two sensors you need, the blue one for the DME coolant temp and the brown one for the E30 gauge sensor. Hope you get it on the road soon. Stop in to PDX on your way home!

[2mAn]

Yup, I agree. One will be there tomorrow!

[Poeman446]

You need to use the Brown top coolant sensor. That might be all of your problem right there.

so the car is running and has a few short drives on it. My cluster decided I havent had enough bullshit to deal with so it stopped working. 3 clusters later and 3 of the 4 gauges work. which one doesnt? coolant temp. :letitout: so close....


if I have the wrong sensor in the head would that prevent it from working at the cluster? which one is the correct one? IIRC mine was light blue, not sure if thats whats in there right now.

edit: found this pic from a while ago. I think I remember reading that the sensor needed to be brown or something??

Update???

Hang in there!

2man - finally following up on your thread since we last chatted. Sorry to hear about the issues. Just know you are that one that inspired me and told me it'll be worth it. I'm right with you as my runt has been sitting helpless at the mechanics since December awaiting it's M52.

When you make the journey through the SF Bay Area, stop by and let's grab some grub. Until then hang in there.

[ClausE30]

Hopefully someday both our swaps will run correctly! Look forward to it

2man, Im cheering for you bud.

[Wanganstyle]

Wanganstyle, give 2man a break. Obviously, you have experience so some things may seem cut and dry to you may not seem so to others. 2man admits to his lack in motor assembling skills. However, what he lacks in experience he makes up for in ambition (and balls of titanium). If the machine shop that he is paying to do the work is worth their salt I think he will be good.

2man, I'm rootin for you bro.

I'm rooting for him also; just making the statement that he is very very brave.

There you go; Balls of titanium.

Best of luck; if you can have it dyno'ed before you set off on your trip it may settle some mental doubts.
