X3 Vacuum Booster Adapter Fittings

[bmdubya1198]

I'm really leaning towards the E83 booster, but I'd like to use Revshift mounts so they're a little softer than the solid Condor mounts (unless someone can offer some input on those, if they aren't TOO harsh). Can anybody confirm if this booster clears?

That is a really nice piece and agree that would make for a easy/clean install.

A friend actually sent me a link to a bracket that doesn't require any welding is fairly cheap or easy enough to make and looks like a clean install http://n15design.com/product/e30-rem...v=402f03a963ba Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

The X3 booster fits and works so well that it is worth relocating the reservoir. I like Chilezen's welded bracket but you can also bolt up something to the strut tower in a similar fashion.

All those 2002 parts for the remote setup are available from ATE in the aftermarket.

Thanks so much for the pictures. I didn't want to see that we have to relocate the reservoir but after test fitting the throttle body I think we have no choice. It's either that or taking out the booster and going with a different booster and hopefully don't have that issue. F..k I feel like the car is fighting us every step of the way Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I used the one-way check valve that came with the booster, then used this and cut it a little at each end.

Could you by chance post a picture? Mine just came with the semi rigid hose and I'm not sure where there is a check valve at all. Thanks for the parts link Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

How did you guys connect the vacuum line from the booster to the intake manifold?

I have the booster and the motor in. Shaved down the fins and still can't get the M50 manifold on. Will try to lose the motor mounts and lift the motor up a bit to see if I can get it on. Revshift motor mounts

Motor went in today and test fit the m50 manifold. Needed the first 5-6 fins shaved down but fits solid now and doesn’t make any contact. Running Condor mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On the oil fluid reservoir what caps are you guys using? The cap from the M20 has a different connector and doesn't fit the X3 cap

Edit: just using the whole original M20 cap so the connector fits

surprised no one has made a custom clevis already just to be dropped in.

Thanks and to the people that were asking previously the thread on the E30 clevis is M10x1.5

Since the hydraulic lines come up a little short how did you go about straightening them out a bit to reach further?

I’m still deciding on this myself. Currently leaning on just ripping out my ABS and bending new lines myself
