My 91 325i
-
^ALMOST
Bassboy3313 was helping me again this weekend (couldn't have made such progress without him, he has been a HUGE help).
He was connecting hoses and wires in the engine bay while I was adding fluids, connecting the clutch line, mounting the shifter, the power steering pump and lines. We installed the new driveshaft, the exhaust heat shields, the M42 radiator, then I realized I got the wrong hose splice piece to make the M42 radiator work so we had to make a trip to the store. My father-in-law insisted that we take his 335i which caused us to arrive at the store much faster than we should have
We then realized that another hose needed a splice and had to make yet another trip. I think if we didn't have the 2 unexpected trips to the store we would have finished it all in time on Saturday but the extra few days of downtime allows me to get the wideband bung welded in so im ready to rock for this coming Saturday.
The good news is that the car fired right up once everything was connected so I can sleep well at night knowing that I didnt kink any wires too badly or get anything mixed up
What's left:
-Install hood
-Bleed brakes + clutch
-Bleed cooling system
-Install front wheels
-Install drivers headlights+grille
-Put interior together
-Mount exhaust

great progress man. personally, i think the bottlecaps look right at home on a lowered e30. rock them with pride.

I still cant believe how close we got to finishing everything up. Gah! Oh, and how freaking amazing it was to drive that 335i.

Check out my bunghole
Since the fuel rail inlet is nearest cylinder 1, cylinder 6 will have the greatest pressure drop and in theory will risk running the leanest. It is also just downstream of the stock H pipe where the factory O2 sensor reads from. The geometry change will help promote a little turbulence for more complete measurement and may get a whiff of the front bank of 3 cylinders in between pressure pulses. In a perfect world (when I build a fancy exhaust system) the wideband would be reading all 6 cylinders from an X or H pipe but I think the positioning is pretty optimal for the factory downpipe.
I painted the exhaust and let it molest a corrugated drain pipe for a bit and packed it up to get welded.
Still looking forward to having the project complete this Saturday.
