‘91 E30

Got sent the wrong TOB. Ruined some stuff on the trans. Slow progress
-
Headers are on
By far the easiest set of aftermarket headers I’ve ever installed on these motors. Room to get to every nut/stud from the top side
-
Also needed to fix the lift point. The top most bolt hole for the lift bracket was all blown apart. I wanted to just re tap the remaining area, but I Was not able to get a tap through whatever material that threaded portion was. Could barely drill it out to the right size.
Decided to buy a stud and just jb weld the cock sucker in because it only needs to work one more time anyways. Had to re tap that lower lifting bracket bolt hole as well because the threads were junk.
Also got a rethreaded brown temp sensor so the dash temp gauge will work. Had to chase those threads as well. I’m getting very familiar with my tap set lately.
Correct TOB and new reverse switch hopefully get here Saturday, so I can get the trans tossed on.
-
Oh and swapped out the pilot bearings for the larger one to accommodate the zf. In case anyone is curious about your shaft size I have included a pic of the difference
side note: 20ftlbs always seems like next to nothing for the pressure plate bolts
-
good info on the headers and TOB
forget the lift point, just throw the chains around the spider hose, they are super strong and never break.

I’ll get a comparison shot of the regular zf tob vs the 323TOB. Should be a difference of 4or5mm. Which should make up for the difference of dualmass/non dualmass flywheel. I want the clutch to engage not directly off the floor
lol at spider hose. Should just lift it from the ICV hoses. Those things never break either

As long as you have URO brand you should be fine.

TOB comparison

Just a slight difference
Right lol
-
Some progress. Just have the rest of everything to finish
-
Goal is to make it to shawano autox on the 22nd. Brooke offered up her evo for co-driving and these just showed up so it may be difficult to want to drive the e30 instead
-
Getting closer
Pretty much just have engine bay stuff to do and torque every nut/bolt on the car. Exhaust is halfway installed

What shifter?
