MMP M62B44 Build Project "Jack-N-Coke"

[MonkeyMadness]

Hey I came across this while reading your thread and was just wondering if that cps mount is off of an m20? also could this work if I where to convert my m62 to obd1 using the motronic 404 ecu?

sent you a pm but you must not have seen it.

Yes it is off an M20 but I cut it down and rewelded it 5/8" shorter.
yes this can work with your build to do the obd1 swap.

But if you run the 6spd you won't need this piece you can run your crank trigger off the bell housing/flywheel

So earlier this morning I took the J-N-C out for a spin. There is a local meet about 5min's from my house and on the way there J-n-C through the center shaft bearing..ugg
So i turned around and babied it home.. lol all of a mile...

Drive shaft is out and all is well, just waiting on the replacement part so I can put it all back together. Thinking i'm going to check my motor/trans alignment with the chassis cause the bearing wasn't bad...

I'm thinking it maybe the rigidness of the revshift gibo i'm running...ugh

My vote goes on that Guibo SNAPING shit up.... not sure if its in this forum but this happened to another E30 and it was stock...so I imagine with the torque of the M62..

I contacted revshift about it aswell. I can tell you I screwed up with the guibo if you look at the picture you will see 3 washers on the unbolted bolts, they shouldn't be there. I thought i got shorted washers when i got the guibo so i add those and I was wrong. these are not allowing the poly to flex as it should. I also asked about getting new polys cause mine are blue. but they (revshift) have had a production change and gone to green? softer maybe???
I'll find out and fix the issue...

Cool! man thanks for sharing the info... btw I love your shifter assembly how much did that run you? Im debating on stock OEM which is going to cost me over 200$ in parts alone.. plus all the work of cuting, welding..et...

I want that race feel... The AKG shifter has such an unreal click- click- Brabbbb -click- brappp awesome feel. ;D

Also I wanted to weight it as well which add to that nice throw feel so I built my shift arm myself it has an awesome weight and throw feel. Its further back in my build but it you look it show how i built it and has -NO- slop
every shift is a perfect click- click. It's one of my favorite mods to date... :pimp:

Ordered the right one from Pelican parts and lost 2days..ugggh

Revshift was slow for me. Better off calling than emailing. Product is good though.

Ok so I have fully rebuilt the drive shaft and revshift guibo.
and all back together. I will take it for a test drive this sunday hopefully make to the little bimmer meet down the street.

But.... ugh I think i may have just f-cked myself or at least my temp gauge.

Ok so my gauge hasn't been showing any temp. even after installing the M20 temp sender. Come to find out (my fault) i have plugged the wrong plugs into the wrong sending unit. But while having it all apart i thought I would be cool and test it all to see if it works....

So I mistakenly put a hot wire to the sending plug that sends info to the gauge. Now the gauge jumps to HOT when the key is turned. even if the plug is unplugged. no matter what...

What did i just f-up? ugh...

I'm kinda at a loss as to what to do now.. :(

The sensor is grounded via it's mounting location, and works by resistance. If you unplug the sensor, the gauge should go to full cold. If you ground the wire going to the gauge, it should go to full hot. So it sounds like you are somehow grounding the wire to the gauge. Check for continuity between chassis ground, and the pin on the connector that goes to the gauge. That would prove you are grounding it. Also check resistance between chassis ground and the pin on the sensor, to prove the sensor is functioning.

There are two wires on the m60 harness for the temp sensor, both of which go to the x20. But the m20 temp sensor is a single pin sensor, unlike the dual pin m60 sensor. Make sure you have the correct wire feeding the c101 connector.
