Abit's 318iA m20b30 + pssycat cam and more...

[whodwho]

Found it:

Bosch PN 0280160263 3.5 bar FPR

[abit]

I have a 3.5 bar FPR for a M20 rail, let me see if I can find the part number for it.

oh nice, that would be cool :)

Hey, how to get 3.5 bar fuel pressure regulator on m20 engine, is possible to bolt on regulator from another car? (porsche 944?) or maybe its possible to fit fuel rail from m50 engine on m20?

[abit]

oh and first start

[abit]

mm, I have m50 management now, so I had to use coils, thats all

HOW ABOUT THIS?

[e30sky]

mods

great work bro...........what is the purpose of the mods u did with the coil pack there on the valve cover?

[abit]

finally it's running, done some little test drive, feels great :pimp:
of course not everything is done, but now looks like this.

[abit]

Hey, maybe somebody can help me to recognize connector on m50 engine harness, It have brown/yellow and brown/violet wires

edit: seems like its for coolant temperature sender to instument cluster.

and if all non vanos m50's does have intake temperature sender?
answer: yes, they have
:D

edit2:
how it looks now

[abit]

HE'S ALIVE!!! YEEAAAH BABY

troublemakers were my new fuel injectors what I bought, changed them to my old m20 injectors and it started right up :)

[abit]

yes, m50 non-vanos also have cam sensor, but it runs fine without it.

this all mess is just for firing it up and see what is what, so later it would be all mounted and beautiful :D

...and each coil had connected negative wire (not in pic) :)

One question (someone correct me if wrong) single vanos M50 EMS runs a "Cam sensor", giving the COPs timing. If your only firing one hole, it makes sense might be lacking important component.

COPs are also a 'hotter spark' so do a plug check after a few thousand miles and see if they're running hot (Broken porcelin) - listen for detonation too.

And mount those COPs (Coils), I forget if the secondary winding negative comes from them being bolted up or not. (Primary power and trigger is from the 3 wire plug to the coil)

DzusFast, of course after painting, we made some pics and later we drank some beer, mmm

YEAH!!!

[abit]

ahh, almost forgot, already found out one thing that is wrong, timing belt is not matching both marks, so I will fix that and hope It starts :)

[CubbyChowder]

Love this build, fresh zinno always looks so good

[abit]

actually all ignition system is different on m50 than m20, but i stick with stock plugs

word... today's picture :mrgreen:


all seems ok, only it won't start

looks like fuel is coming, there is spark, but it does not start, just fires only 6th cylinder, and later 5th came in too :mrgreen: don't no where to start finding problem, it was late and I gave up, will try later :)

DzusFast, of course after painting, we made some pics and later we drank some beer, mmm :D

..and we all know that this CAI almost makes no difference, but it makes car look mad, because racecar
