M3 Evo 3.2 1997 (HACKAR) Part 2

Recommended Posts

Added an update to the end of my first post. Plus a new dyno sheet :thumbs-up:

Just about dropped my phone when I saw that dyno. Jealous. :heart:

Now, where do I find 35whp!?!?!

I agree. You are defeating the purpose of posting it into a forum thread.

I quite like the posting arrangement, keeps all the 'build' in one place, and the discussion flowing afterwards.

Only prob is it makes it hard to link/refer back to specific build items by url or some other referencing method (date / list bullets etc...).

Other forums have the build & discussion threads separated, which is good, and better when the 'builders' have links to both in their signature.

Updated as usual (sorry John & Keven)

Found another problem when I removed passenger side shock :(

Sorted now, back on the road.

Because the kiwi $ so strong, I've had a shopping spree should have some photos in a couple of weeks. :rolleyes:

92 seconds to load the first page, on 30mbps fiber. I feel sorry for anyone with slower internet than me.

How was the job? Difficult?

Most of the wires are color matched,but 3 were brown so the multimeter was required.

As you need to use the existing 3 wire actuator plug, undoing the plug cover was fun (slides off sideways).

And because of my connection system I didn't have to test my soldering skills.

Updated guys

This cert process end up being a lot more painful than it needed to be.

I was asked at the last coffee meet "if the novelty of the new seats had worn off" my reply was no

But after the last 3 weeks or so I was at the stage where I couldn't pull out of the install because of the time and money invested.

And I was contemplating becoming a criminal and driving around in a uncertified car.

Thank heavens that didn't happen :)

yeah the whole thing has gotten silly really. While I agree with the engineering aspects of LV some of it is engineers looking problems to solutions.

Curious as to what you think of the underdrive pullies, and whether you can notice the difference.

I'll never know, ECS had them list BMW E36 M3 power pulleys, I brought them, got them but they were Turner Motorsport pulleys. Turner site say they are not for Euro M3 they're mostly right.

Power steering pulley installed OK ,( need it as at taupo driver training showed that the power steering was working to hard. )

The Alternator pulley would have worked, but it was the wrong one. I returned it with a photo of my old one then got another wrong one back,

After further research in the USA my alternator (pulley) is off an E46.

Water pump pulley was way to shallow.

So I be listing the Bosch Alternator pulley and E36 Water pump pulley soon
