S52 finally!

[parkerbink]

Soooooooo. I'm on top O' the world, all is well, car feels great, went on several fun in the sun drives (until it got too hot & the no AC due to heat on all the time made it no fun) and I hit the brake & it needs 10+ times the pressure.


Booster or MC more likely & is there a upgrade like on e30s to the e32 mc?



I just bled the entire system with Motul full synth.

The bung is in!

Drove the BMW a bit over 40 miles round trip on the freeway. It's a freaking blast!

Solution to losing belts was the Hydraulic tensioner and belt 2 sizes smaller.

Got everything together, damn pump is defective (noisy) but works, took a drive, the car is pretty awesome!!!

Ordered a reman ZF, supposed to come in Wednesday.

Soooo the S54 hose is totally different & cannot fit. I called a hose repair place 32 miles away, they insisted they can swap the banjo the S54 pump needs to my hose, I drove there & (A) the woman at the counter acted like I was making up the call, (B) she said no one there would have said they could do what I was asking. The guy I spoke to came out and said oh sorry no.

WTF????

I went the the hole in the wall shop I found for the Sequoia & they did it in an hour, getting it in is an adventure, I'll start over tomorrow.

I had the audacity to think I'm, driving TODAY!

Turns out, the S54 pump has higher pressure, ordered it's hose.

GAAAAAAA

That is some ingenuity for sure.

What part of the valley are you in again?

Holding the ratchet that is on the tensioner.
