      5$ says the cheap eBay clutch will do you justice for a while.

      I mean, how long before you can afford the clutch you want right?

      It takes me about 2 hours to change a clutch on an e30. I couldn't imagine it being much more with a 24v swap.

      I would rather drive the car now with a cheap clutch versus drive it next summer with a nice clutch(could still do

      That)

          that would be the same as mine. I would say its the perfect weight! I mean, I have never had a lighter chromoly one though. I tried a friends car with an alum flywheel and it was not fun.

            No progress really, just put the pan on after getting a new pickup tube gasket. Also put some ngk plugs in it.

            Just need to swap the harness from the m50 to the s50. Clean up intake manifold & put new gaskets in it. Clean up TB. Random vacuum line from fpr to intake. Random coolant line to bypass TB.

            Then all the driveline/clutch stuff

            Oh and a serp belt

            fc7c0a289ea74b2a6fe0c8791e4a9979.jpg

            How it sits now. I bet the white gets dirty before I even put fluids in it

            Do have a question: I've read that you need to run shorter bolts to hold the crank pulley on after removing the ac pulley. Some say they ran shorter, others did not. I cannot see anything touching something it shouldn't. For piece of mind I'll probably just get shorter bolts

              Where does the small tube go? Pic of line to ICV?

              You could tap the valve cover with a 3/4" NPT tap and run braided lines to a catch can.

                The small tube plugs into the ICV hose that curls up into the intake manifold

                    Small tube from PCV

                    970d04d42b10835eb0b2b7fee654f5e7.jpggoes to this little nipple close to the white gasket (top of pic) on the ICV hose which goes into the intake manifold 381b412980a4eeca5bd8b485f08bb46c.jpg

                    Large tube has those barbed connectors on the dipstick tube it can be connected to. Or I could just run it to a catch can. Instead of having it drain everywhere

                          I blocked the small hose as it doesn't really do much and will be running the large hose into a catch can, but the large one is currently vented to atmosphere.
                          I needed shorter bolts in the timing wheel, but ended up turning the pulley into a spacer instead.

                          ...

                              Assuming you also blocked the nipple on the ICV hose?

                              I'm gonna probably order shorter bolts then. I don't want to put the pulley back on

                                I am using that one for boost related things, so it works out well for me! In your case you should block it off.
                                Yeah, shorter bolts will do the trick. I cut off the pulley portion so I just had the flat disc, instead of getting shorter bolts.  :cool:

                                  Any purpose to blocking off the small line other than simplifying crap/not letting oil get everywhere

                                    On the valve cover side, not really. On the ICV side it is open to the intake so it would result in a vacuum leak if left unplugged.

                                    ...

                                      I get the vacuum leak part. But why plug everything up? Why not just connect everything with new line?

                                      I'm just curious

                                        Personal preference I guess. I don't think that tiny line is doing too much. Especially if you are just VTA

                                          On obd1 the large line goes to the intake elbow before the throttle body. Obd2 it goes to the cyclone cannister thing and then to the dipstick tube. You could put a catch can between if you dislike oil in your intake manifold. I just giver, more lubrication hurts nothing.
