Melon's E30 Build.

[Jamie325]

Alright thank you for the help. I do have the Bentley manual. I haven't looked through it yet. I know I cleaned it up really good and got all the oil off which required me taking it out of the housing,when I reinstalled it, I just pulled to one side and screwed it in. I noticed there was an adjustment by this thread so figured I need to adjust for the best results.
Thank you to everyone for the help. Now we can go back to our regularly scheduled build lol.

Excellent. I think I was able to get that as well. I basically just cranked it to one side for the most part

That's how the one that was on the car was, it was all the way to one side.
The new one is about 1/2 in the middle. I figured it was 30 years of wear and tear. :iono:

Yeah, it's a real fine line.
I have mine dialed in to right as the butterfly moves, it clicks over.

Yeah that click is like .002-.006mm tolerance too

There's a switch you can hear click, basically you want the sensor to be right on the cusp of flipping that switch. You use a voltmeter to tell which side of the switch to be on, it's pretty simple.

If you have the Bentley it goes over a measurement procedure.

How did you calibrate your throttle position sensor while the the throttle body is off the car?
I need to do this to mine. I have cleaned my TB and now I need to calibrate it.
Thanks
Looking good btw. It's a long process, but well worth it in the end.

They worked with me, back and forth to get the custom color code, and tire chart for my car. I highly recommend their services. Solid 10/10.

Got my chip in from SSSquid. Love their packaging.

100% Agree

I tried taking one mirror apart, and it ended up breaking, so I decided to go with black and no disassembly.

Makes sense. I have a rusted exhaust shield that I was going to take off and freshen up, but I'm afraid the studs will just give up the ghost.

Also love all the zinc bolts.
