I never got on the gas til you were a car length or two ahead...didn't realize we were racing. Then when I did fucking dsc cut fuel as soon as the tires started to slip...god I hate traction control but I'm not about to keep it off all the time when driving a $65k car that isn't mine.

[Steven]

Steven get your damn car running

my eta smoked LBV's e46 m3 and your dad's vert.

I would if I knew wtf was wrong with it..
And he didn't know you wanted to race. That thing is 100x faster than your eta.

[kronus]

anyone have a bag of fresh injector pintle caps sitting around? all of mine are dead and I need to get the M3 back on the road..

also it's 5spd now

Fixed and gj on the swap

MaksV was the only person doing rebuilds. but i hear Igor may do them too

[mbonanni]

@Kro

I think I have four or five rebuilt green top m50 injectors laying around you can have the caps from. I bought them from some guy on here and they didn't fire so he just sent me different ones. I can't find them right now, but my dad should kn ow where they are. I will let you know tonight.

It's a serious PITA to get access to my E30, otherwise I probably would have driven it down to Steven and used it as a guide to get his car running already.

Having my E30 stored at my brother in laws one parking space while his WRX sits outside is not a good setup, I need to find a small shop space near the city asap...

well it hasn't run yet due to the pintle caps.. we swapped the entire motor harness, that was fun, no clue if it'll even run.

also it's a 332i

mbonnani - awesome!

I know of a hackspace that's opening up in south SF maybe, can find out more if you're curious.

Yeah I get it... It sucks though that I have No clue and no one else has any clue why it's not running... I'm going to rip it apart again and start over hooking everything up. Then I'll hook everything up and hope it runs if not I'm fucked cuz idk what's wrong rn

Just need a new head and dme? Or is it really fucked overall?

[decay]

Yeah I fucked up. It was from a rwd Volvo with a mechanical main fan. When I went back to pnp they were closed and I'm pissed because their sale is over, oh well. There's a 16" 2800cfm fan for 40 bux on eBay, but I'd almost trust 20 year old German parts over new eBay stuff.

Like I said. Pop your bumper/valance off and see if you can make them both fit. Wire in parallel. Probably plenty of CFM. Let it idle in your driveway, make sure they kick on, watch temp when they do.

1 piece or separated?

The motor's intact (head is on block). It still runs on 4-5 cylinders, lol. It's just been sitting on some old r888s at my friends place and I feel bad. Comes with the 140 amp e34 alternator, and kind of not working so well ps pump if desired. Doesn't come with IM or DME as well as some boots and various things that were in terrible condition. Some assembly will be required but I figure that's not a huge deal, seeing as it's either a parts motor or to rebuild.

No idea if the head is recoverable. I am literally offering the whole thing up for free, if you decide you don't want it after grabbing it then it's at least worth something as scrap metal. Just hate to junk it without letting someone salvage it first.
