I want to put E30 sport seats in my E34. I love E30 sport seats, but I'd need three of them, my driver seat in my E30 needs to be re-upholstered. I bet these days 3 nice sport seats cost as much as my...

The vanos rebuild did effectively nothing. I don't know why it's malfunctioning, so I disabled vanos and definitely gained some power though the drop in mid range torque is noticeable. I bet I picked...Last edited by varg; 03-17-2024, 06:40 AM.

Yeah, welding aluminum almost always results in inferior material properties at or surrounding the weld due to the welding process itself, the heat affected zone, and the lack of control over the resulting...

That's my plan, the logistics are going to be difficult. Two years ago my long term plan was Florida, buy a house on some land or buy some land and build a house. Now the houses I wanted...Last edited by varg; 03-17-2024, 04:58 AM.

I'm pretty much done with FL, it's just not worth it anymore, too expensive and too crowded. I get to work early and leave early (6a-4p when I can) to avoid peak traffic, but for the past year or so even...

1. MLS is likely not necessary. I've run 20psi of boost (T3/T04E turbo) on a daily driven E30 with a stock head gasket and had no issues. Block prep is just as critical as head prep with ARP and these...

There is a thin ring gasket that goes between the backing plate and compressor housing on T3s, I have never seen it on another type of turbo.

Nobody is going to make a reproduction. Custom glass production is extremely expensive in small volumes.

My , do not "double lock" your E30. That feature was fine when the cars were new but now with worn out locks and linkages that you cannot rebuild because the parts are NLA, you risk...

That's the gist of it. I've also had it stick until idle twice and refuse to retard for some time. This only happened with cold oil (I see oil pressures of around 70psi at 2,500rpm with cold oil, coolant...

VANOS behavior
I’m having a weird VANOS problem, luckily I can observe the solenoid duty and cam position directly in logs or real time because I run megasquirt. This is a freshly rebuilt unit that air tested OK....
