Idk man, he builds the 3.2 but he can't seem to remove the yellow stuff off the intake manifold. I think you could do better yourself ;D
I'm putting in my new dash in today. I'm also picking up some parts this weekend... a bavrest M30 AFM and the full stock 325i exhaust. Also picking up some style 42's for the E36.
My plan is to have an entire stock exhaust at the ready for smog just in case... so I can do whatever I want with my real exhaust ;)
Worked out the long tube headers at the exhaust shop. The whole swapping headers for smog thing wasn't going to work. To redo my exhaust with the long tubes the right way, they wanted over $800. So what I'm going to do is put in the long tubes myself, then the cutting welding mounting and bending will be $500 from them. I can swallow the $500 easier than I can the $800 haha.
The question is... tow it to the exhaust shop, or drive it VERY loudly. lmao'86 Burgundrot 325 2.8 stroker.

"new" dash. No it's not the NLA $1000+ dollar one. Going to baby this dash with 303 protectant and my fancy BMW sunshade.
It took me about 3 hrs to disconnect everything carefully, an hour for me and my friend Bruce to yank out the dash (Bruce is stupidly strong tho) , 15 mins to VIN swap, about two hours to carefully put it in (with much struggle), and then waaaay longer than it needed to be to bolt it into place because I couldn't figure out which bolt was the right one (it's the gold bolt with the fine threads).
My car is pretty much still at that point tho cus it's hot in the garage and I was was busy yesterday drinking beer and eating burgers.
It seems like the "reverse of removal" part will take much longer than the removal though. I'm also doing up my stereo and euro clock while I'm at it.
Oh and I got that Bavrest M30 AFM.'86 Burgundrot 325 2.8 stroker.

Thanks for the compliments
I have seen your posts around actually. I mean, I didn't do this all by myself.. I had all this information available on r3v and other sites. Which wouldn't exist without discussions from knowledgeable people. So thanks!
And don't worry I'ma drive the piss out of it
except now I need to bring a sunshade'86 Burgundrot 325 2.8 stroker.

The dead spots were fixed when I swapped back to the M20 AFM. But the M20 AFMs I have all have shitty idle when starting and bad throttle response at times.
Also, I'm not sure if any of my tunes are actually for the M20 AFM with my injectors. But I definitely know that I have one for the M30 AFM.
The Bavrest AFM fixed my idle, and the throttle response seems much better. It also hasn't hesitated at all except when the ECU is still learning. Took it past 5k a few times.
Definitely a good purchase. It'll hold me, for a bit.'86 Burgundrot 325 2.8 stroker.
