Just caught up on the progress of the build, looking good!

I picked up an 02 myself, will be giving you a call at IE soon, gotta get some m20 head parts to finish my 2.9L which will now be going into the '70 02.

Do you guys have motor mounts for sale for the swap? also, you gonna use a getrag 260 on either of these? I plan to use the e30 drivetrain.

What do you think your "Strongest small case diff" can handle power wise?

my 2.9L m20 will be turbo'd, so it looks like 2002haus guy's rear subframe is my only option?

Maybe I'll shoot ya a PM with all my questions so I dont flood your build! hah.

Hey, Yes I saw your posting over on the faq! (I go by AceAndrew over there). We don't carry motor mounts, I refer people over to Chris @ only02.com. He makes a very good mount.

I REALLY don't like using the getrag 260 on this setup, the E21 323 getrag 245 makes the swap very clean and efficient where as with the 260 requires a lot of finagling (Meaning more chances of screwing up and I've seen several screwed up. Of course people don't like posting their mistakes though.) IF you're using the 260, just be sure you measure twice and cut once.
If you haven't seen this link already, its a very good intro. http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/49429-m20-conversion/

The strength of the diff also depends a great deal on how you drive the car. I'd feel comfortable running the diff up to about 220whp with my driving style. Any more than that and it's medium-case time. The 02autohas setup is NOT your only option.

Couple other diff options include:
1) You can consider grafting in the entire E30 subframe and trailing arms, this would also give you rear disks. I've got some detailed shots of this if you email me.
2) Graft on the hoop portion of the E30 subframe onto the 2002 subframe.
3) Pull an Oscar and go all sorts of crazy ... http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/1101...-turbo-525whp/

There's a lot of M20 goody here.

Sub'd! The sheer quality and amount of work, not to mention the detail in the updates in pure inspiration!

Hanging out for more :D

Doesn't really matter... looks good, that's all that really counts (as long as it works... lol)

nice gauges andrew

[SkiFree]

Very nice looking gauges. Any idea if they could convert the face of an Innovative Wideband gauge to match the rest of my Series 1 stuff?

That's actually a very good question. I don't know but there's a very good chance.

Jalopi..
I don't know but an educated guess would be that they used the guts and face from a different vdo clock.

They made that clock from what... scratch?? Regardless, it looks stock.

[deutschman]

Very cool

I've been looking for a nice VDO Series-one clock to round out my gauge cluster for quite a while and was getting a little discouraged. They've been NLA for a number of years and non-existent on any message board. Called North Hollywood Speedo for some other gauges and asked if they had the little clock hiding away. The gentleman who answered the phone said "well why don't we just make you one? We can make it look extremely close to the original."

Got the gauges yesterday including the little clock and am very very happy. (while their site doesn't list prices, they were less-expensive than egauges when I asked for a quote) Now I'm dusting off the tachometer to send it over to be recalibrated for the M20.

Love the series-one gauges with the silver dollar cluster, but for the moment, here's everything mocked up.



Here are the VDO series-one part numbers if anyone is interested.

OIL PRESSURE 0PSI-80PSI
#350-303 (gauge only) [ohm 10-180]
#360-009 double prong sender 1/8-27 NPT (can tie into 8psi low-pressure warning light)
#555-100463 1/8”-27npt to 1/2” adapter bushing (to mount at remote cooler housing)

OIL TEMPERATURE 120°F - 300°F
#310-3051 (Imperial Kit, includes sender and adapter bush)

CLOCK
#370-301 NoLongerAvailable, special order from North Hollywood Speedometer.

Just found this thread I've wanted a triple weber M20 ever since I drove a korman dual weber m10 car. Can't wait to see/hear the final product!

S t a n d

I think we may be onto something here, haha. Throw in some hand engraving too!

John - no offence taken, I'm starting to understand that the clutter is a positive sign if anything.
--------------------------------------------------
So I've went ahead and listed the hardlines over on the FAQ, not sure if there's much market for E30's but we'll see.
