That looks pretty good, what kind of MC are you using? What year A4?

[gearheadE30]

hey, if you need wiring diagrams or anything, I have a few drawings and pinouts and such for the M42 from the megasquirt build. Shoot me a PM if you need them

Looks like a great build btw

ill have to check the year again i think it was an 01 i cant remember though but the 1.8t or the 2.8 both fit (i think) mines out of a 1.8t instead of the 2.8 we had cuz it was bad :(

MC?? uhh wat?

thanx!!
and my wiring is basically done just gotta supply power the the ABS wire that went from my ECU to the fuse box and the E36 ecu doesnt get that fancy or "lazy" i guess hah

MC?? uhh wat?

Master cylinder.

[bloodshot-e30]

BAHAHAH wow i though it said MS and i still put MC lmfao

yea im using the a4 master i just gotta get the end of the brake lines off of the A4 and cut the ends of mine off and splice them together...
i gotta get the stuff to splice them at the brake shop on monday! and the holes line right up (only if the a4 holes were smaller) :(

YAY!!! it looks soo much better than an M42!

[dude8383]

Dope!!! Can't wait to see the clearance with the booster, that could be a really nice alternative to the iX boosters and the E21's.

lol the booster is in and bolted up in the pics!

Look at that fancy TU-looking oil filter cap.. So modern. Looks good. I had already forgotten how big these motors look in there.. takes up tons of space even without the radiator in yet.

haha ill try to remember tomorro when i get off work!
im gonna do a remote resivor even tho the one on it works! but ther is A LOT of space! like 2 inches!!!

[rThor432]

^Just leave the reservoir that is on there, it works fine. Unless you can't clean it up any better than it is in the picture..

[bloodshot-e30]

the TBPS will hit it when i plug it in... thats why im goin with a remote... but if anyone else decides to do this it will be fine with it there

will get close ups tomorrow!
