M30B34 swapped guys quick question???

[RickSloan]

i have an
M30B34
Funks mounts
e28 535i rad

my lower hose seems to short to me and i think under excel it is leaking at the top because it is getting pulled....

what did you guys use??? or did you use this hose???

TIA

I had extra pipe there, so this is one option:

[RickSloan]

i think this is the way im going to go

thank you

[Jonsku]

Just remember to tighten the bands really tight, otherwise it'll leak.

Best option would be to get some pipe with modified heads, so water wouldn't come there so easily. Hard to explain in bad english, but hopefully you understand what i mean :)

[Mastrcruse]

damn..I don't really know which one I used but its definately long enough, no pull what so ever.


I was pretty sure that it was just the OEM lower hose from and e28.

are you using urethane mounts?

[RickSloan]

nope stock rubber mounts

[E30/M30]

Yep, use the E28 535 hose

alright so i looked into it today and to my great disappointment, my water pump is actually leaking from the seal at the pulley... the hose fits fine after looking at it more, and taking it off and refitting it. So monday i will be replacing the water pump and my leaking issues should be solved...

thanks for the help tho guys!

oh and e30 m30, i really love your car, the color the touring, and i hope there is an M30 under the hood due to your name!

Nice. What kind of TB is that and the intake tube???

[E30/M30]

It's off a Ford Mustang V8, twin 60mm and the black elbow is home made out of glass fiber.

Thought it'd be a nice mod but it's oversized for the M30, makes the throttle very responsive on the move but around town driving/pulling out of junctions it can be a bit of a PITA.

If i did it again i'd use a smaller(but bigger than the stock TB) TB than the Mustang one and/or one that has a nice progresive throttle mech' on light throttle positions.

Sorry if you have covered this before but where is the afm? what did you do for a tps?
Do you have a build thread you could post up for me?

[E30/M30]

Sorry, there's not a build thread for it and there's no AFM as it's running a stand alone ECU by Emerald.

The TPS is out of sight at the bottom of the TB, a friend made me a TPS spindle adapter as the Ford TB has a kind of a flat blade shape for their TPS V's the "D" shape i needed for my TPS.

I'd post some pics of the build but i lost them when i had problems with my PC :-(
