Wow checked and timing was well off. Though can anyone confirm how to set it right? According to my haynes I remove the vacuim hose and set it to 23 btdc at 5000rpm? Ive never actually set timing before properly and I did it on a honda so was a little diff. How would I get it to 5000rpm? And I cant seem to see any other timing lines cept for the circular notch which I aligned with the T mark. Sorry if it the question is noob as. Haha Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Oh right. Is it cause most people put newer engines into their cars? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -
Ok so seems like everyone is leaning towards timing. Will check tonight as will be borrowing a timing light. @FRT: how could I check those? The vacuum lines on my car are pretty old and do need replacing. are the lines the one two on the diaphragm by the dizzy? Thanks for the help so far guys! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I see... How do you set the timing with the dizzy? That might be it then haha Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Not sure bout the timing as we checked but will check again if its not the exhaust.. Yes it is an early m20 with the round dizzy by the dipstick. Does that matter? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, My e30 currently has no torque and overheats a little but the most obvious one which probably is related the previous 2 is that when I go on the motorway and stop at a petrol station my manifold glows red/orange which Is not right... What could cause this? Ive had a look at firing order and timing and both look right. Any other ideas would be great. Im look ing at checking for a clogged manifold or exhaust next. Is there anything else I can check? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

So it doesnt really need to go through compliance or anything like a full car? I was looking at m30s for like 400 usd.. would it be cheaper than that here? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -
Hi guys, Has anyone tried importing a whole engine from USA? Or any other countries? Is there anything required for this or just customs tax? Can this be done easily? Any reason why this shouldn't be done and that I should just look locally? Mainly was just looking at getting an m30 or something else to play with. Sorry if this has been asked before, I can't seem to find the topic if it was.

Would a broken viscous fan cause a loss of power on a 320i e30? It seems like ive got no torque at all even at low gears. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Are they for a 4 or 6 cyl? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Where is the car located? Your profile doesn't actually say where you are so thought I'd ask. EDIT: did the issues with the current WOF get resolved or do these need to be done?

Just put your current one on bridge mode and get a router to do the pppoe connection. Can be any router able to do pppoe with a vlan tag. Can also be a linux box if you like it that way. Mikrotiks are very good for cheap routers. But they require a bit of configuration, not very plug and play like the standard routers. You can buy them frokm gowifi.co.nz if you want to have a look. Like M3AN said, much more flexible and reliable. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
