thanks that is a nice idea! ill measure what the exhaust measures in total, where the boxes are, and report back on tuesday hopefully. Its different to what anyone else would use as its in a bmw e36 compact.

thankyou!

well ive decided im going with the cast manifold. Im sure volvo has put some design into how it flows, and the tubular one i have is modded for the bmw, so maybe its not right some how. but the cast made 7 more bhp on exactly the same engine some years ago... https://bmwrallyparts.co.uk/minipics/bmw...

right thanks! makes sense!

right ok! [red wine area uk time for me atm ] a friend of mine has a bmw s14 engine, it spat the shim off the top of the buckets and did the engine in. He thought it was of the top of hat shims. The T5 cam i use, and Stefan, i read somewhere, again red wine non making memory work well, someone measu...

is the lack of lift on the valve because you need to have the clearance between cam and tappet when cold? I recently found in my engine a guide to be very sloppy after maybe 300 miles. We think its because i had a sticking injector and its washed oil from the guide. Quat, oh i see, you use the stand...

I have a b230a non turbo engine, its never going to do more than 190 bhp imho. Its in a bmw e36. At the moment , the engine has a tubular exhaust manifold, not a kl racing one , but very similar. At one point i had the cast manifold, 50mm down pipes, and the car made 167 bhp at the flywheel. I swapp...

ah maybe! i took my engine to get machined, and i ended up with teh standard size, so all was well! thanks anyway

quat, if you dont use lash caps, what do you use?


thanks

ah so my block needs a hone and a fwe bits, so it dosnt need new pistons, but it was interesting if anyone knew for future . thanks

I have a b230A engine, it needs a rebore really, but here in england there dosnt seem to be any pistons available, no one stocks them anymore. Is there a later piston or one from a completely different engine i could use? I have a feeling there is something as i know of an engine builder here that d...

well thankyou both! ive ordered the grey ones, even though it says 360cc in the ebay advert.

thats fantastic, ive found some on ebay here in England, £135, i take it these are cone type spray pattern? thanks Part number: Siemens Deka 9179379. Please check your own injectors are identical before purchase. Flow rate: c.360cc/min at 3 bar of pressure. Resistance: c.15.3 Ohms (high impedance). ...

microsquirt, sorry forgot to say. its all programmable

I have a b230 with the E type inlet, it has a 300 deg t5 cam in it, upped the compression, im hoping for 160-190 bhp out of it. I had the volvo t5 injectors in it, but they are damaged. They are expensive here now , what CC of injector should i be looking at. M3 ones are 263CC but im not sure if the...

thankyou!
