You don't have a location, so unsure if you are in the US. Fuel ratings are different from EU to US, so yes, 89 octane or better (91+ preferred). There is no "adjustment" for vac advance, there's... -
Money wasn't "printed". It's actually an advance on your future tax returns . As a small business owner, I looked into this package immediately and decided against applying for two reasons -...Leave a comment:

When it doesn't start next time, try popping the over off the round diagnostic connector and jump the starter there (black with yellow stripe needs to be jumped with red #14 and #11), make sure the car...Last edited by ForcedFirebird; Today, 04:56 AM.Leave a comment:

Pinging on the distributor m20's is more than likely too much timing from a faulty distributor advance (which is vacuum and centrifugal advance). Add that to the higher compression and lack-luster fuel...Leave a comment:

100% vacuum leak. When air is introduced between the AFM and throttle, it causes and oscillation as it's "trying" to keep a steady idle and bouncing back and forth between cells in the chip...Leave a comment:

Need a vanos harness. Plus the e34 had the ECU in the battery tray area, the E36 harness is long enough to reach the glove box. I helped a bud do a swap years ago, and he made a box for the e30 battery...Leave a comment:

Yeah, born in the vee engines, automatic thinking. After going back to the machine, was daydreaming (thought experiments) and answered my own question lol. Most of my work was 60? which weren't "as"...Leave a comment:

Fortunately the wife is in finance, so she is working WFH, and I don't interact with many people here at the shop. A couple of my friends with contracting companies (one plumber, the other does storm...Leave a comment:

OBD cable I bought a while back came with a female plug and pigtails to make bench flashing easier. It has since died and was replaced with a Bimmergeeks unit. Recently got some ECU plugs from a JY, but...Leave a comment:

Revisited this thread as it's interesting you cut the pistons to clear the crank, rather than turn the crank (my lathe is JUST large enough to turn them). At first I was curious about the balancing, but...Leave a comment:

I did an s54 swap not long ago and the client immediately spun the car and was facing oncoming traffic the day he picked it up. Lol. He has owned the car for 16yr and it was always a tired m42 prior....Leave a comment:
