S52 finally!

[parkerbink]

I hope it goes in like this, getting the belt on was a massive pain in the butt!

Had to release the outside PS pump bolt & hold the tensioner as far as it would go with a gigantic breaker bar on my long ratchet (with my shoulder) while levering the belt on with a screwdriver.

Transmission os out, it was no fun!

[parkerbink]

SOON

[parkerbink]

I need to do all the fluids and am doing the rear subframe bushings which requires removal of the rear end and brakes, I have to bleed the hydraulic system including the clutch slave so that's next. The rear shocks and springs will go in when it goes back together.

Also. Mock up....

[parkerbink]

Subframe out, nightmare is too small a word.


Spring comparo.


Also, fluids.

What funnel is that?
Threads right into the oil cap spot?

Yup, love it!

Bad thing is I have one for my Sequoia, didn't realize it has the adapter for BMW :P

lol

It runs! The DME needs to learn so it needs to warm up, & it's open headers so sounds like a P51 (which is pretty cool actually)

Finally found blanks that fit the M console.

I paid 93 to get the differential seals TODAY. Wanted to finish and drive tomorrow. I'll be demanding my money back for the shipping.

[parkerbink]

Spoke to Bimmerworld, refund incoming. Thier CS is amazing!

[parkerbink]

Starts right up but does not idle. I emailed the tuner asking if he sees anything in the file needing attention.

Did you do big maf?

[parkerbink]

Nope, OEM.

[parkerbink]

I was offered a DInan high-flow throttle body. Does anyone have any input on them?

[Northern]

Stolen from bf.c:

There are THREE Bosch 3.5HFMs that work in the E36 Cars... the 800, the 803, and the 806.

The software Dinan (and all the other chip tuners use) will drive the 800 (BMW 540/740) and 806 (BMW Euro M3) HFMs. The 803 is one Porsche uses and most Turbo guys run that as it has a different voltage/metering characteristic.

If it's just the MAF itself, it's likely going to be one of those two.

If the tuner says you need a MAF, I guess you need the MAF. Otherwise I'd be looking for vacuum leaks.


Edit: derp you said throttle body, not MAF.

[parkerbink]

Tuner has not responded. But I'd love to know if I should get the 9% biggerr TB.
