Noticed any effect on handling with the spacers?

Did you ever get this to work under your euroweaves with or without spacers?

Transmission mounts are SOLD. Flywheel & starter SOLD. Everything else still available.

+1 for King Tony. I get all mine from Wairau Engineering Supplies in Albany. Awesome price point. Great quality. Have some Stahwille spanners that I inherited which are just beautiful. You'll break any 12-point socket if you gorilla it.

Hi Stephen - sorry. It's for a b25. Part number here:

Cool - flick me a PM. Cheers.

$50 for the trans mounts alone. Cheers.

I would suspect so, as long as you weren't using some weird crossmember. I think they fit most e30/36 stuff. See more info here: http://www.revshift.com/product-p/ptm-bt.htm

I sold my (very tidy) ~170k '95 3.0L for $16k last year.

Flywheel & starter SOLD.

Confirmed yesterday that the cold running issue isn't being caused by a stuck open thermostat. Anything else I haven't ticked off here?

Had a fiddle (making sure i kept the original registration position to go back to). Might have made some slight differences but nothing really noticeable. Still definitely idling too low.

Out of interest, anyone know what the internal hex under the blue blanking plug is actually doing - mechanically speaking?

Re: ICV, I've tested with a multimeter - reading correct 40ohms over outer two pins and 20 ohms over inner and outer pins. Thanks for that Ross, will take a look now.

What's the clock at now?

I've been hunting for a fix for my chunky idle ever since I swapped in the new engine. Other than the idle speed the engine seems to run well. It idles around 600rpm. If you rev it then throttle off it will dive to around 500rpm on the way down before recovering. It seems to idle worse when cold than warm. Temp gauge usually reads a a bit too cold unless it is sitting and idling. So far I've replaced (to no avail) dizzy cap and rotor spark plugs (old ones maybe a bit on the white side of normal?) a cracked valve cover breather hose blue & brown temp sensors thermostat I have reason to believe the throttle body set screw has been f*cked with. I've reset it using a feeler gauge and have made sure that the TPS is getting continuity in the closed position. Interestingly no continuity (on the other pin) when fully open, from what I've read this is wrong, but shouldn't effect idle. I've sprayed around with carb cleaner on the intake side and idle didn't change. I've inspected everything fairly closely and can't see where there'd be any vacuum leaks. If you take the oil cap off while running it will very nearly stall. Any suggestions on a next step? Kinda doing my head in. Cheers guys

Awesome stuff Graham.

I've got one - North Shore, AK. EDIT: Motronic 1.3 (facelift)

Awesome work. Looks like you're doing things properly. Watching with interest

Wow. Impressive project. Best of luck with the last few things - I'm sure it'll be worth it in the long run.

"5. The turbocharger has its own dedicated electric coolant pump;" That doesn't sound at all problematic. :/

Cool that you're using a ZF box. Good luck!

I had trouble finding a 2.5 to swap into mine, too, but found one in the end. If it makes any difference, the B25 has all sorts more torque than my old B20 below 4K rpm. Motronic is a much more modern fuel injection system too.

Won't 20s kinda ruin the plush ride?
