Definintely respect your attempt/dedication to the engine swap. Most ppl underestimate how involved it can be especially dropping in a monster v8. when you say the trigger wheel is different, how different is it? as long as your cps distance is okay it just looks for the gap in the trigger in relation to the cams. Is the flywheel the only thing you've changed since it was running before? why not just put the m5 flywheel back in? lol
as for not making vacuum... this doesn't make sense, every engine should have vacuum, unless u have a huge leak somewhere, have you tried hooking a gauge up to it to get actual numbers? also how solid is the engine compression wise?
parts do fail believe it or not, definitely double check all ur wiring, grounds are super important too don't over look those straps.
like i said swaps are very involved, if ur feeling burnt out, try and get the car on a test drive, safely of course, that might rekick ur passion for the swap. good luck bro, ill sub.

Some things take some time i sure you will get everything up and running in time .just save up and tackle it when your readySo after a few weeks, the car is not working. CPS still has bad position. It starts very heavy, and starter sparkling. so i should buy new starter, but i dont have any money and energy to tackle that junk. i spent on this about 4k euros and that car still not working!
peace.

Sorry i don't know to explain it because my english isn't good. But all i know is that for example when i disconnect vacuum hose from fuel press regulator (during idle) nothing happens. I dripped in one place and it would have sucked drops, but nothing... and brake booster vacuum hose is with the same issueLeave a comment:

this is a serious amount of work. nice job. im sure you'll resolve your braking and vacuum issues.
when you say it's not making vacuum, do you mean it has a vacuum leak?Leave a comment:
