    325i vs 325e?

    So the previous owner of my newly purchased non running e30 said they did the heads. The car seems to be an “e” but i think it may have an “i” intake manifold. Is there a difference between the 2? Im trying to figure out if they did an “I” head swap. This car is giving me a headache lol. Pictures would help

    find the head casting number its on the intake side of the head

    I - xxxx885
    e -xxxx200

    I manifold is shorter fatter runners
    e intake manifold is longer skinnier.

    post a photo the intake is easy to tell

        Pics of manifold. Also why does my manifold have so many vacuum ports? Where do they go?

          The cold start fuel injector should have a fuel line attached, it’s the blue capped thing with the wire connected. There’s supposed to be a T fitting in the fuel supply line that is attached to the fuel rail, it’s at the back of the intake manifold near the fire wall.

          I will go look at my eta to see about the vac lines but I think mine is a bit different, it’s an ‘87

            So from what I understand I should put a T connecting a line from the fuel filter, the fuel rail and the cold start injector?

              Yes, that’s right for the fuel line.
