Thank you for joining my channel, let's have fun and take our Rides to the Next Level!
lmao, will do! this one fortunately had the "rising" or "raised" engine mounts to put it above the steering rack. never knew! The red one will get a skid plate for sure.
@@tony.nextlevelrides hell yeah man love the e30 and the series!! Just subbed I’d say make as much e30 content as you can! They have a pretty big following
Meth cleans the cylinder also and you control wen you wanna use it port inject only real benefit of you using racing gas /e85 all come down to which one you prefer and which one benefit you and ur ride
Wow.......I never thought Id see the day Canada got something right. Outside of pen lights Canada is totally f**ked but at least they got those pen lights.
15:11 LMAO they sell entire boxes of C-Clips at Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply, and probably most auto parts stores. Replacement C-Clips are EXCEEDINGLY easy to obtain. Most every shop I've ever worked in keeps an assortment box of them on hand just because techs seem to be great at making them shoot across the shop never to be seen again
Hey man, found your channel a few days ago and love the content and to top it all off, i found your in Canada. Im a car fanatic/ mechanic that just moved here. Do you have an email or any social media that i can reach you by. Would really appreciate it man 👑
I can’t stand people complaining when their tuned cars go wrong. The F10 generation is getting on for 14 years old, why can’t we accept the fact that cars don’t last that long issue-free?
mickey mouse flange will crumble regardless of what type of coolant used. My car has 100k miles on it, always had oem blue coolant, and it crumbled like croutons. Very common for valve cover pieces to get into crankcase when swapping them so that is what my guess is for the mystery particles. Really should take the cam's off and have a look at cam ledges + change valve seals. Pinned crankhub is also a very good idea, especially while motor is out. Lots of people tend to ignore these issues, and they WILL bite you eventually. You are 100% correct, once you open the motor, can very easily turn into a very expensive and time consuming can of worms lol...but if the motor is out and on a stand...you might as well!
How do you recommend going about pinning the crank hub? I know they make backer plates to it also to keep the belt from yeeting itself around the crank.
@@ryanmolloy5421 not sure what you mean, pinning the hub basically requires you to remove the timing chains, then drill holes into the crank snout (comes with a jig to make sure you drill the holes straight). Then you just re-install the timing chains.
@@sonicnofadz yeah I'm a ding dong I was thinking of something else. But yeah I know what you're talking about. Do these chains stretch under heavier horsepower or just straight up fail? I recall my evo X had the chain stretch and created a bit of an issue to say the least, only to find out they made an updated chain on later years because of the exact issue.
@ryanmolloy5421 in my experience the hub is more likely to slip than the chain stretching. doesn't mean it can't happen, just unlikely. more likely if they've gone far between oil chsnges.
Haha of course I find this video after using a random diagram I found about it. Glad there is a video but would’ve been so nice to have when doing this on mine!!
Yoh guys are the best seriously, love ur content and it helped me big time to finish my DCT swap. I am currently trying to install E9X M3 DCT paddle shifters to my my 07 335i with DCT swap, are those LCI paddle shifters you installed same type as the E9X M3 ones?
we really appreciate the kind words!! I'm. not completely certain as the paddles come in pre-lci and lci, it may be year dependant but no reason you couldn't modify them the same!
@@tony.nextlevelrides I think they are the same type which is resistant based. So for the wire you made to connect CANTCU to JBBF, did you connect the two pins directly to the JBBF connector or you made a whole new connector? Plus which one from each C2 and B2 pins that go to the JBBF 22 & 38 pins? Thank you in advance! That would really help me finish up my swap
@@tony.nextlevelrides I just found out that E92 M3 paddles don’t have built in resistors and the connectors pin are in 1&2 so no need to be modify them, will your procedure work for them or should I configure them as digital inputs?
