30# injectors will drown your car. not sure if stock M50 DMEs will take it without terrible gas mileage. -
question.
Could I run 30 lb/hr injectors on a stock m50? Does the rating mean that they're CAPABLE of pushing that much fuel or that they always flow that much? I bought a set during my initial buy and I'm curious if they're going to work or if I have to track down another set.. I have 5/6 of the stock green topped ones still attached to the harness right now..Leave a comment:

Luke, its funny you say that... down at school I defintitely made my friend take a 1/2 and 1/2 shot of rum and pepto with me one night - called it the 'pink panther." Honestly wasn't that bad.
I love the stance of the coilovers, but seeing as how the car still has no engine, I couldn't begin to tell you about handling characteristics ;)... I'll be sure to review everything I've put on it once the car is rolling againLeave a comment:

Haha, I'm not sure, but I think the m42 does... I found the ones for the m50, they're 14-15 a piece. I'll put the order in tonight along with a bunch of other misc. hardware. As soon as they get in, that engine is going-thefuck-together. I want a DRIVABLE e30 :)
and we have 7-11 toquitos on call in case of emergency... could be worseLeave a comment:

Wait a damn minute, the M42 has oil squirters for the pistons?
Fucking M20s and their 1970s technology!
The VW bastards wanted like $38 EACH for squirters like 10 or 12 years ago...how much does BMW want?
Oh yeah, if TB is all the mexi foods you have at 2:00am, you may wanna consider relocation.Leave a comment:

Got a nice torque wrench today, went down to the house, cleaned up the shop a little, got the block mounted on the block stand, took an angle grinder to the last bolt in the transmission, so it is officially separated from the m42... but i can't get it off. Its about an inch away from the block now, but I think its still hung up... how do i get it off?
I had intentions of at least getting the crank, rods and pistons in today, but I realized I need new oil nozzles in the crank tunnel.. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about. I just looked all over Realoem, but couldn't find em.. m50 guys - any help? I'm going to put in an order for those and a bunch of nuts/bolts/dowls tomorrow, and get the pistons in by the end of the week :)Leave a comment:

Haha, here in VA its taco bell at 2am or no mexican food at all. I just came from autozone, heading to sears in the AM to get a GOOD torque wrench. I ended up driving 250 miles today for work, and another 50 out to my shore house tonight isnt worth it since I didnt get a chance today to pull up a factory manual.Leave a comment:

I read the whole thread: did not "nice torque wrench" in there.
in some states, motor swaps performed without Mexican food at 2:00AM is illegal; check your local laws.Leave a comment:

extra bolts, washers and nuts? - :( no, but I'll work with that when I get there

alrighty.
picked up a block stand today, and my piston rings came, so assembly should begin this weekend.
other than a good torque wrench, locktite and assembly lube - is there anything else KEY that I'll need to start puttin this piece together? (I have all basic metric sockets, open ended wrenches, etc.)Leave a comment:
