Wishno's winter beater project thread(+misc vert action)

[Danny]

For sure, get it done!

[Wishno87]

Massive success :p Thanks dude.



I missed the Borbets soo much that I put the rears on just so I could look at them while working on the M50

[Danny]

Loosen it, rotate it, then slide the belt on, rotate it back and tighten it. Its a mechanical tensioner.

[Wishno87]

It has this little notch in it though that fits perfectly into this little indent in the alt so i thought you cant move it? Does the notch not matter?

[Danny]

You need to rotate the eccentric.

[Wishno87]

I am assuming this belt orientation is no good correct? I just cant see how I could possibly get the belt to go under the idler pulley. There is not enough slack.

[Matt-B]

I cant wait.


we will all have them soon. I get you more $ when i get some. I get paid next friday maybe

[Danny]

Oh my fuck.

[Wishno87]

Im really sorry Darin but I may have lied to you.

By now we all know what is about to happen.












I bought this NV M50 out of an E34 for the oil pan but I paid less than most oil pans alone go for. 244k but runs great and lots of maintenance including rebuilt head. Last owner had it for ten years before it got rear ended.



This is completely mental now. NV M50B25, M50B25 TU, M30B35, M20B25, M20B27. Once I get my swap done I will start clearing house though.

[Matt-B]

intake does not look all that bad

[Wishno87]

Schweet I will go swap that out right now.

[Danny]

That's correct.

[Wishno87]

Motor is starting to come together now. Just need the PS pump and im pretty much good to go.


Got my modified manifold from Castros


Wiring harness and oil pan gasket too


Can anyone confirm that this is the correct temp sensor I need from my M20? My M20 did not have a brown sensor.

that valve cover needs more prep before paint. It looks like its all peeling off already.

Its just the casting. It was pressure washed then sandblasted then pressure washed again. I probably could have sanded it smooth or something though.
