what are you guys doing for p/s setups? i have a stock rack/lines and an m50 pump, can they be connected together? i havent tried yet

[Boostesi]

after a few hours of tinkering today i got her to run! heres what i have for issues so far, if anyone can help me,

1. no power @ fuel pump fuse?.... i started it by jumping the fuse, and the pump runs.

2. wich manifold goes on the front? longer or shorter? obd1 95 325is mani's

3. start grinds awfully/wont mesh, engaged 1/10 tries. motor is 95 325is, flywheel is shaved down single mass 1990 325is, starter is from the 90 325is, clutch is from the 90 325is, has anyone encountered this?

otherwise shes in a runs!

and also how do you wire around the delay relay

[328ijunkie]

You shouldnt need the delay relay. Try swapping the Fuel pump and O2 sensor Relays and see if that works. You may just simply have a dead FP relay.

If youre using a M20 starter with an M20 fw then all should be well assuming you shaved down the back of the flywheel or the oil pan...

Great start on your build. I like the choice of colors for the motor work. Are you going to clean up the balancer too? Everything else looks so good it really sticks out.


Will be following.

thank you, the balancer looks like shit, but its really not that visable, i may just clean it up quick by dusting it with some flat black spray paint lol. thats all for now

Im using stock e30 lines with the M50's pump.

at first it leaked terribly, then the leak went away

coming along great so far!!!

can you snap a pic of your setup?

[Boostesi]

it has been a while since i had a chance to work on this project, but today i put a good 4 hrs into her and then got to drive it under its own power for the first time in a long time, still no brakes as my booster situation hasnt been figured out but thats the next thing, just nice because i bought it as a shell with no motor or tranny and i bought a scary looking engine that was outside with no oil cap and a cracked valve cover, so for this thing to be in and running is an excellent feeling finally after many $$ and hrs

Not huge on the exhaust, but those rims look excellent on your car!

Thanks man, the exhaust is a free/ temporary solution to get the fumes out from under the car in all honesty its too loud for street use and i love the wheels to, i got them off of a 240sx with a ls1 in it lol

i just picked up a zender front valance today as well excited to put that on pics soon
