  1. Hi it's Phil here,tell me what is your e30?Is it a 320i or 325i and what year is it?Also is it Motronic ECU as Jetronic ignition can't be chipped and we will take it from there,cheers Phil.
  2. It's quite simple,remove old chip,insert new one,start car and let it idle for 10 minutes for the ECU to read new chip and off you go,simple as that.You could get the fuel ratio/air reset to 14/1 but other than that, nothing.I have for 2 years now,used 3 rated chips in my E30 and this is the cheapest way to get extra hp/nm.don't by from the UK,give me a phone call as i can help you out with one,if you are interested.
  3. I have a 1989 E30 325i Shortblock for sale,it is the bare block with crank/pistons,could suit a stroker project.Also a 320i AFM with adapter tube for cone or pod filter in excellent order.
  4. Hi guys,i don't think that you can do this ,the 731 head valves will meet the top of the 2.7 pistons,if this was the case you could put a 731 head on a 325i block (don't think so)this question has been asked before on this forum.Correct me if i'm wrong but do it factually.Thanks.
  5. Did you not read what the post asked.
  6. Only if it came from an M20 engine,this has been done down here in Christchurch,the manifold and throttle body complete.This is a good performance mod as the length of the manifold runner is alot longer,giving more low down torque response.You will have to modify the manifold intake ports to match the gasket size and by the way don't pay any more than $20.00 dollars for the manifold as they are only worth scrap metal price.
  7. Hi guys,just wondering how often you change the engine oil and what brand and type of oil you use,eg Semi Synthetic or Mineral oil and the brand,let's see what you come up with.
  8. Hi, alternators always have a slight drain on your battery,thats why you disconnect the leads if you are not using the car for a long period.
  9. This box is made from ABS Black plastic and is 8mm thick with a reflective heat rating of 210 degrees Farinhite,this is a great improvement on my first box made of aluminuim and the cold air is ram fed into it.On the end of it is a m30 AFM and with my other modifications to the engine this works a treat,iv'e never had any problems with this setup since iv'e installed it.
  10. Here's some pics of my abs cold box http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/mush...nz/IMG_0160.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/mush...nz/IMG_0155.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/mush...nz/IMG_0154.jpg
  11. The best guy in Christchurch is Graeme Clyde of GAC (German Auto Components)12 A Opawa Road, 377-9619,he has worked for the factory M team and used to own a John Player group A E30,what Graeme doesn't know about BMW's is not worth knowing,take alook at his workshop.
  12. Has anyone got any ideas why the check coolant light would come on when there is plenty of coolant and no leaks to be found would appreciate your views.
  13. The joker selling it doesn't know much does he,it's listed as a 4cylinder but the photo shows a 6 cylinder engine,ask yourselfs ladies and gentlemen.
  14. I have the above book for sale in excellent condition,it's signed by the author Wayne Dempsey of Pelican Parts USA.Has some very informative articles and good photo's,$80.00 plus post.
