thank you so much though

hey dont for get to use the bmw fan clutch tool or u wont get it off and get coolant too bc u will need some bc u will have to take ur hoses off to do this i didnt know and had to go to bmw and they filled it up for me and i think thats it other than tools haha have fun though

[e36bmw328i]

u think i could just cut it though. just use some metal cutter and do it in my school parking lot haha

[e30dirty]

haha thats what i did but it didnt want to cut but i got it and a new one is like 13 bucks so its not a big deal but check out the other two bc u might need to replace them

[e36bmw328i]

Why would i need to replace them though? i mean i do anyways but how could this affect them?

[e30dirty]

it wont just bc if they go than ha well ur car might not drive its just a good idea to check them while ur in there thats what i did and the power steering is new so all mine are going to me new

[e30dirty]

its just good to check everything every few weeks bc the cars are getting old and parts do go faster its just the way to have a good running e30

[e36bmw328i]

yeah the belts need to be changed but thr good for a while still. And I think my power steering is leaking, if i took that belt off to will it stop the leaks until this weekend when i get new belts

[e36bmw328i]

Did u ever change your spark plugs? because im getting horrible mpg with the chip, i think i need new spark plugs since there stock, also i want to get new wires for the spark plugs, would u recommend any performance spark plug that suits this car, and where can i find performane coilovers

[e30dirty]

change ur plugs if u have alot of miles on them but wires look at 8 mil ie wires they are at the best price and they run great

nice nice. best power increase though
Is to hear that baby "sneeze" (turbo)

[e36bmw328i]

haha i dont have that kinda money, what about the throttle body, can i bore it cuz its so restrictive? and what spark plugs do you recommend

[e36bmw328i]

so i went to a junk yard and found a 535 afm... i put it on my 325e which has a chip and intake and smoke came out the exhaust... any ideas why? I no the AFM is very sensitive since it basically tell the computer how much fuel to dump in the engine. I took the 535I fuel injectors too so i was wondering if i put that on with idirium spark plugs thicker ignition wires and an MSD ignition coil will solve all the problems. Also, is the "i" manifold direct fit on the "e" block?

if you wanna get a new cam, go with the Ireland engineering 272 reground. its only $190 if you ship them your cam to regrind and another 155 for them to start with a new one. that will def get some horseys outta that torque monster. and if you really wanna go crazy, get the "I' dual valve springs and mount those up in there. thats what is holding the eta back. the valves float at 5500 revs, believe me i know mine had a 5700 rev limit and the last 400 or so were pointless. and once my ac belt, alternator belt, power steering and water pump belts all came off when i was cornering at this plce out in the middle of nowhere. overheated soooo fast but it does have that emergency pressure release valve that dropped my engine temp to 3/4 like 4 times before it lost all the coolant. no blown head gasket, just $110 in belts and labor.

and bro you gotta change a lot to plug the bix six afm onto an eta. the i has adaptive fuel and air processing but the eta doesnt. and you gott get your stock injectors back on there, the eta has a low impedance system and all the "i"s have high impedance. you have to swap ALL the wiring to the ecu and get a 89 or newer 325i ecu to make it work. and no the intake manifolds are different. the eta has restrictive passages because under low rev high torque, the smaller passages make the air flow faster at the expense of restriction at high rpm. the I has bigger passages for the opposite reason. to swap the i intake manifold on you have to get the ports matched on your eta head
