do you still have the M50 Loom/ecu on the e30?

Yes still running it, and don't even thinking of changing it

[BUDNUNTA]

Do you have the cam sensor hooked up?

[abit]

Do you have the cam sensor hooked up?

no, engine runs fine without cam sensor. as I understand just sequential fuel injection doesn't work because of It.

[abit]

Time flies and e30 too :D
It's been a while since last updates, but nothing actually has been changed to car, It runs good, so I'm just enjoying It

I filmed small sound check video. What do you think?

[abit]

Sounds good, looks good!

Thank you Sir!

buuut, unfortunately season ended not as planned...



ehhhh, there is antifreeze in oil, antifreeze itself is clean. I hope Its just HG
changed oil to new one and set it for some winter sleep.



sometime later will disassemble engine and check what's gone wrong.

but in the meantime some goodies arrived, new header, as the old sebring had done it's best and is pretty burnt out.

It's some ebay header, but I kinda liked design and price, I believe I will modify It a bit and it will be pretty ok, as well I have plans on exhaust valves, so maybe I could gain some +1 hp more
old one how it looked when I bought It, already 10 years ago



and new one




see yaaaa.

[abit]

...hellooo, long time no seeeeeee

Nothing much has been done, but still ...

first, engine is still unhealthy I had no time and inspiration to fix it slowly but antifreeze is getting in oil, I drive a little and change the oil frequently.. maaybe this winter I will repair it!

buut, tuninK first!

installed new exhaust header, as I said after a long search I found the one I liked.

so got it after winter storage


and now back to work
old one off


cut header ends to make them different and bit bigger in diameter, then bolted to engine to see all the clearances


..oh my....


then made new connections with v bands


after that of course middle part
in progress


something like this


and bolted on car connecting it to old exhaust


made some extra heatshields etc. and everything works fine.

aalso readjusted valves, so everything was ready to roll


then, wanted to change something for this season, a bit refreshed my old wheels that I used few years ago


so from this


to this, also changed my old lip to IS lip

[abit]

Further ...



new fuel tank, painted and made new lower connecting line






something like this



aaaalso, as you know I have rally e36, and since there are mostly E30 fans here, so DTM etc.

made new livery to my racecar, how do you like It?





so, that's all for now folks!

[Northern]

both cars looking great. Now fix that engine!
