S50us/S52 cams will only work with single vanos. The intake cam's spline isn't long enough (maybe there's a workaround because apparently this spline is a separate piece?), and the exhaust cam doesn't...

You'll probably be fine with a single in-tank walbro 255. '90 has a single pump design anyway, so the next step from a 255 is just a bigger single pump unless you add a swirl pot or something.

If it's just the holes, is there some reason you can't just plug/redrill?...

[Northern]

I used the lever one, essentially adjusting it so that when the lever is compressed, it compresses the spring/retainer just enough to get at the collets.
The range of motion is way more than you...

I've hardly looked into this, and I probably won't for at least another year. I haven't really looked into how I would compare, but I'm somewhat aware of Teensy (and the 3.3v "problem") just...

Happy you got the reference haha.



Hey, I'm really hoping r3v membership doesn't drop off that hard, but maybe in a few years....

Might need to open this pic in a new tab for it to show a decent resolution...

Not much going on with this car. Drove it a bit but I have no reason to leave the house.

Still trying to get the MAP working.
wideband O2 sensor died again, so I warrantied it but have...

Here's a throwback/r3v reference for you.
Like 10 years ago, I bought a full set of E30 bushings from some dude named Lencas in Lithuania

It doesn't feel like it, but it's been nearly 2 months. I was still picking away at this project through exams, christmas, and the New Year.

Picking up where we left off, I modded the M52...

I think my plan would be to use a micro controller like an arduino to compare the difference, either front average vs rear average or one front vs one rear and decide when to trigger.

I'm...

I think the only reason the cam gear isn't as known about is that (if I remember right) they were phased out way earlier so there are fewer in circulation.

At this point, I'd just run it...

Some of my favorite wheels. Probably would never want real E50's even if I could afford them because of old magnesium problems, but the SSRs or other aluminum reps I would love to own a set someday....

Lots of progress since I last checked, this is great!

I might be interested in one of those boards to try to hack together some sort of TC on MS41...

[Northern]

I don't think you need to worry about too much grip, I think the E46 arms are going to hurt that. Having like 6-7 degrees of camber and way less caster can't help?
There are some extreme offset...

I don't think there's any difference dimensionally between this and the late model setup with the collapsing joint.
You can still replace the steering guibo with ~1/8" thick steel/aluminum...

This, just because you didn't mention clearancing the steering ujoints in the OP....
