Cirrusly Blue - The Daily Driver E30... now SUPER powered

[wworm]

single cams also sound a bazillion times better. Spent the better half of a work day last week reading about exhaust harmonics trying to figure out how to numb raspiness

no more 24v swaps. I want to and know how awesome they are but I have a masochist mind and want to spend more money on something that will make less power

[wworm]

^that would make smog a real bitch to try and pass methinks

Simon have you considered doing an m52 with m54 internals?

[2mAn]

Problem solved...

[wworm]

nope just one.

any other symptoms other than random CEL's?

[2mAn]

hood ground?

Im pretty sure that was the one I installed, unless there is two on the hood.

Edit: Looks like its the battery tray to valve cover strap from here

Top - Engine Ground Cable
Middle - Battery tray to valve cover strap
Bottom - Radiator to Hood strap

That should be your new title “leaving it stock thread”

Yeaaaaa or not hahaha stock is good, modified is better


I was cleaning up my tool box and found this. I bought a few of these grounds from BavRest a while ago but can’t remember which one this is supposed to replace.


It would be cool if this can replace that nasty one under the car

In other news the car won’t start at all now. It went from random CEL to constant CEL to death.

Fun.

well... I ordered a new CPS to try and deal with a random issue that has popped up. more importantly I also bought the stroker crank spacer that ForcedFirebird made... and now it begins.

The neverending DD "im not modifying it much" project continues

That should be your new title “leaving it stock thread”

Im tempted to do something bigger, like a M54/ S50 (89.6mm) crank or even a S52 crank, but those last two force me to get custom pistons.

I don't know how bad shipping would be, but I have a 89.6mm crank I'd let go for a decent price for you.

If you have the 24v already, I would just go that route. Remember I daily'd and tracked my M52 for about 3 years. It was great, but I wanted to try something different. Plus having a 325i already I have less to do than if I had a 325e.

I'm not planning on changing my route...for the motor. I'm just dreading the BAR process

fuck this is tempting me too much. single cam! ITBs! Ah the glory! M20 also just looks so much better in the bay than a 24v motor

If this damn guy would buy my old VW turbo manifold and turbo, I could really move this along lol Crank and block would be purchased QUICK!
