325es noob build

Got my N2O setup!!!!! Just kidding... Just kegging some brown ale. I did get my guibo and master cylinder rebuild kit today though. Right now it's raining like a bitch. E30 is under the covers. Install stuff next weekend.

Did a little reading while I waited.... #3 and #4 must be in the same injection group. Nome of that fancy SI shit.

[BFT_Boyle]

#3 and #4 fuel injectors. Do they fire at the same time? Those were my only unlabeled connectors and I can't feel/hear a difference if they are swapped. Unless they are both unplugged then I can really notice. :/

Greetings, fellow living room car builder :D

Cheers!

And Finland no less!

Spent a week outside of Helsinki a number of years ago. Been wanting to go back ever since.... Great heavy metal selection \m/

I would stop buying parts from Ecs tuning


And check out rmeuropean.com

I have been buying parts from them for 9 years. No mistakes or issues. Can't say the same for Ecs tuning

I'll have to check em out. ECS caught my eye for the free shipping over $25.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Bought the place last year, garage was converted to a "den" years ago so yeah, not much to work with, however I have done everything here in the driveway, at work in the lab, or in the living room ;)

So fresh cooling lines. Need to get bolts for alternator bracket so I can actually run the water pump. I did get a belt and put it over the water pump pulley and main crank. It stays on so long as I don't rev too much [emoji38] but it is circulating, radiator getting warm, and temp needle moving towards nominal.

Ordered master clutch cylinder rebuild kit (BMW OEM) and a new guibo from ECS. Won't be here for a couple weeks so not many updates until then.

On another note, I thought I would share my workspace.

Thar she blows!

Sounds like a master cylinder to me!

[BFT_Boyle]

Oh and just installed clutch slave cylinder, but pedal falls to floor (well spring loaded kinda....) Master clutch cylinder yeah?

[BFT_Boyle]

Well the no key turn fixed itself. Nothing to worry about! ;)

[BFT_Boyle]

So go to start the car, and the key won't turn... WTF? Had zero problems with it. Steering wheel locked. Can't get the tumbler to budge....

[BFT_Boyle]

New cooling hose set showed up today along with a clutch slave cylinder. Time to get to work...

[BFT_Boyle]

Rev limiter works 😎 I get bolder every time.... No cooling hoses today though, stuck in Reno apparently. Cheers to mañana.

Short video of my tach working after SI battery and fuse. Shift linkage not hooked up so it was rattling on the (guibo housing? Not sure what to call that drum off the tranny). Engine/oil cold; I didn't want to push the revs.

High idle... Not sure if that is where it sits when cold, or if I have another issue.

Cooling hoses come tomorrow, then I can let everything warm up safely.
