    cooling system upgrade time

    i'm not really concerned about robbing any horse power lol. i jsut want the best cooling that will work both in summer and winter. the clutch on my fan is brand new and i would rather use mechanical. but i rather not have the shroud that close to the fan neither. i will have a greddy temp...

    cooling system upgrade time

    yea as in road racing. i want to stick with mechanical but if i go with a 3 row then the fan fits farther into the shroud thus i think its becomes over efficient. i would also like to have an electric fan so that i can keep it running even after i finish tracking. it could be.. my friend...

    cooling system upgrade time

    ok so i think it's time for me to upgrade my cooling system. when i was at the track i noticed my coolant started boiling (i think... it was making a bubbling sound in the overflow tank until everything finally cooled down). i did loose some coolant but once refilled the car was fine. The...

    general temp sender question

    quick question, generally speaking are all temp senders the same? EDIT: lets rephrase this. I have a greddy temp guage and the sender is too long for the stock waterneck (the part that detects the temp) now the last time i really worked with temp senders was back in HS when i was big into...

    bmw headlight project

    i agree with you about the dead space, but think about it... u never cruise with ur headlights popped up for no reason. and at night who really sees what shape ur light is. they just see how good the output is. the dead space sucks but it could be worse. i was thinking of shifting the...

    bmw headlight project

    i think i'm just going to center the light. i did some research on the lights i got, supposedly they are highly sought after from the e30 guys. they are ellipisoids. here's a estimate picture. looks to be straight foward, just build a bracket and then build a surround plate to fill in the gap

    i've seen hella ecodes. the cut off line is about the same as my ebay ones * pilot automotive housings. i've been wanting to go HIDs but u cant do that in e-codes without blinding everyone. trust me, i've researched. these bmw houses are also made by hella btw

    explain the pcv system to me

    hmmm, i just had to pass emissions and the car passed with no problems. does that usually mean everything is working? i mean nj emissions aren't strict, but they also aren't easy. maybe i'm on to something? lol i noticed that a couple of big dawg people with ffim's have their valve...

    turbo was just rebuilt by mdc about 1 month ago. if i take the hose off the isc the motor dies. it also has the check valve (the round disk with the flaps). as of right now the car is still setup as connected to the tb. it was originally connected to the coupler before the tb much like how...
