'91 318is, 16V swap.

i read through this but maybe I missed it. What fuel pump are you using? If stock, are you just restricting the 40-50 psi down to 7 by the carb with the fpr?

Keep it up man, I have the same thing going on

I ended up using a Holley FPR. I'll try to find the link if you're interested, but should be fairly easy to find on Summit. Anyway, It doesn't have a gauge port(bit disappointing) but it works quite well and has a return line which is very nice, if not essential because of the amount of pressure it would need to hold with no return.

is this real?

yus.





So, burnout video tomorrow. I'm not home, but my friends took one on the way back from Mpact yesterday.

[jalopi]

eh? what do you mean, broke? as in your new(ish?) wilwood slave? how do you even pull that off?

[FunfGan]

Nope :/ My friend went to adjust the clutch throw and the slave cylinder broke.

Did she ever make it to bimmerfest? I was looking but didn't see it.

Wouldve been nice to see another e30 with my wheels on.

If i remember right the 2 white wires are connected. I think there was a green wire that runs to a resistored 12v (its the bat light on the mustang) it wont charge from what i read if the resistance isnt right. Black and yellow wire ran to distro block and the other like 10 gauge ran to the hot lead on the starter. Odd thing was it would only charge if it was run to the starter. If i ran it right to the distro block it wouldnt charge. Then it just stopped charging. Not sure if it was wiring or the alt just died.

Very interesting.... I have it straight to the distribution block. I'll try it to the starter as well as redo the green wire.

Also, Spencer, you got a few freaking awesome shots in that bunch. Now go piss people off at Bimmerfest.

I swithed to a chevy 1 wire alt. seems to charge fine. I got tired of dealing with the stock ford 3g setup. The 1 wire took some trimming down of the alt bracket spacers and the adjuster bracket (its a summit high mount serp setup) but it lines up pretty well now.

How did you wire the Ford 3G setup? I am not charging but have bimmerfest to drive to tomorrow.

Looks like you/someone hammered out the QP/trunk dent. Looks deece in the pictures.

Scary pan clearance though...

Steel pan can take it

[FunfGan]

Yep! Pulled it a little bit then a tiny bit of bondo. I'm having it pulled out soon so I'll repaint it then.

Who the heck cares. Anyway, since Stuart is gone at college, I am taking Gretta to bimmerfest. Well I spent the last 2 hours cleaning and then a quick wax. Still having troubles with the alternator and charging though.

But to all of you who said he ruined the car... well, WRONG! It still cleans up very well.
