So i started a rather big job for myself by changing my water pump and timing equipment and i didnt pay attention when ordering the pump. I have a late model pump and an early model system. I was wondering if anyone had used metal pipe and couplers to replicate the T in the pump or if anyone has welder a second opening for the t onto the pump. Might be important to note that its an 87 325is

Do you have the late model pump with the carrier? if so, it doesn't have a nipple for the return on it as the later models had it on the tank and I don't know if the late model pump can be retrofitted to the early style carrier but that's what you would need to do. I am currently running a TRE/Walbro on my M3 and 323i, both of which had a dual pump setup stock. I just by passed the main pump under the car and retrofitted a high flow pump in the early style carrier."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
