Yep!
May I inquire why you are venting the catch can to atmosphere instead of plugging it back into the intake boot?
I probably won't. I was just curious really.
I have some barbed connectors in a shopping cart waiting to be ordered.
-
Harness is now (kind of) on the s50
That's about it
-
Looking good
-
Is it done yet?
I'm at that point where all the parts I've ordered are currently installed. But now I have to make another order for more crap
-
Left to order:
Clutch/PP/FW
Slave cylinder
driveshaft
Giubo
O2 sensor
Random barbed connectors to bypass coolant lines to TB & to route the PCV line to the bimmerworld intake elbow
Vac line from fpr to intake manifold (may be able to reuse mine, unsure if long enough)
Figure out what to do with purge valve
I can either vent to atmosphere with that line from the tank, cap off the nipple on the TB and just keep the sensor connected to the purge valve (?? Will it throw a CEL) or just run the hose from the tank inline with the purge valve and plug it into the TB (essentially just bypass the charcoal canister thing) and keep harness plugged into purge valve.
If I do the second option I'm not sure if the purge valve still even works so it may just be better to vent to atmosphere.
No clue yet

Order the febi slave and guibo. What clutch did you decide on?
Haven't really decided
-
Just ordered:
Core support
Mishimoto radiator
Bimmerworld radiator hoses
Clutch/pp/fw (comes with release bearing, pilot bearing, hardware)
Slave cylinder
BMW coolant
Still to order:
98 m3 Driveshaft
E30 csb
Flex disc
O2 sensor
Trans fluid
Diff fluid
Shifter rebuild kit
Shit adds up quick
-
what clutch did you decide on?
and hey I gotta ask how much did you get your s50 for? I see s52's on car part for 1500$ and it makes it very tempting. an extra 1000$ nets me a good chunk of NA hp but I'm not sure if buying a very used s52 is a good idea ha.

I went with the gripforce stage 2 clutch. Read some good reviews on bimmerforums of guys being skeptical, but they had good things to say. After I put it in and beat on it for a while I'll post my review as well. It's a cheap alternative at this point. If I have to tear it out in a year, lesson learned I spose.
I picked up the s50 with great compression, full harness, zf trans and DME (literally everything to swap) for $1450. Some stuff I won't be using cause I was already 24v. But now I have spares which is nice
-
Coolant, febi clutch slave, core support and radiator have showed up
-
removable core support using stock core support?
Yes sir
-
The CSB is mounted on the e36 DS on the opposite shaft than the e30 DS. Just make sure the offset side is mounted the same as the e30 DS was. This sounds confusing but when you see it in front of you and side-by-side it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the heads up. Still on the fence about where to order from. Wholesale something or other is where I'll most likely go.
As far as shift stuff goes
I was thinking to just order the condor kit with the short knob (?) the uuc evo3 with dssr is like $460. I've been told it's worth it, but idk. Rebuilt stock stuff with Delrin would still be better than nothing I suppose
-
I'm not sure what you are running for engine and trans mounts, but I built this floor mount shifter like the AKG one and MAN it's amazing. It's not finished in this picture, but I have a solid brass handle on it now and it's killer.
This is in my daily beater.
