325i vs 325e?

[Joey_e30]

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

It says 2.7eta so its an e right?

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.
