Well,thanks for the tips.Right now,after a new clutch system (SACKS- the OEM clutch kit on the car) I m broke... From what I understand though,it s not a bad...
Hi, I've been replacing the head gasket on my 85 318i for the past couple of months now. This means I've forgotten where most of the bolts go. I have a quick...

Andrew, I believe the item you are referring to is a cooling system component called the "branch flange". It has two hose connections on it -- one for the...
Thanks you thank you thank you. I'll see what I cant figure out from what's there. - Andrew...

I hesitate to bring this matter up, since it always seems to get everyone riled up, but my K&N cone filter does make a noticable difference on my car. As long...
Speaking of K&N's..... Anyone have ideas/suggestions on the best way to clean and re-oil them. I can always buy the K&N supplies but wonder if there's a...
Yes! Send pictures from different angles! I'm very interested. ... can always buy the K&N supplies but wonder if there's a better way. ... The key thing is to...
All, Finally got around to looking at the area of my head again and I don't think its what you described. I think the branch flange that you describe is...

If your engine is carburated... it could be the mechanical fuel pump that is supposed to sit there. Thomas...
Sorry for the misdirection, but the branch flange is the only item mounted on the left side of my E30 head except for the intake manifold. There is a mounting...
Since Andrew told us his car is the 318i model, it wouldn't have a carburetor.... An E30, M10 motor using a mechanical fuel pump would have the pump mounted at...
Thanks everyone. there is no carburator, but the two bolt holes go through the engine and if the stud I put in there is long enough it will interfere with the...

Andrew, On the BMW E30, 316 - the only carbureted E30 model powered by an M10 motor (that I'm aware of), those holes were fitted with two 8mm studs (8x50;...
Yes, they're still available...I paid $43 per side from Eurasian (eap4parts.com). Also, I wanted find out a little more info regarding the install of these ...
I'm setting up a Minnesota E30 owners meet on either Saturday, June 5, or Sunday June 6, 2004. It will probably start between 1-3pm on one of the two days. If...
... but there's not a lot I can do about it. Or is there? I'm trying to get more revs out of my '83 318i race car. A 6.2k red line sucks. It's slowing me down....
Have you thought about switching over to a carburator? Is there a way to disable the rpm signal to the ecu? Then disconnect the O2 sensor so it will run...
Sage, The revs are liited by the head itself. As I understand it the Idle Control Unit only manages idle. And you are right, L-Jetronic does suck. The main...
I can't run carboureted in my class, unfortunately. I have a schematic of the leads to the ECU, but there's not a handy one marked "RPMs" :=). The ECU gets its...
Hey Geoff -- This is a race build motor. My engine builder said it would get good to about 7.5k rpms. The problem is is that at 6.2k rpms, the ECU leans out ...
Somebody from this email group successfully accomplished what you are talking about. I can't find the email in my archives. ... From: Sage Schreiner...
From what I've read some 318i's had a spring and grommet that were set up in the distributor as a mechanical rev limiter. Don't remember where I read this but...
Hey all -- I spent today working on this and was (gasp) actually successful, mostly. I'll provide more details and pictures later, but here's the gist. I found...
Sage, In demonstrating my ignorance yet again I forgot you already had a race engine in the car and then forgot about the rev limiter. Someone has worked on...
318's running pretty good now, but I have no reason to beleive that the vacuum advance is working. Was hoping to make sure the small vacuum lines were hooked...
