Hey Ryan, which shift linkage did you use? I am also using ZF320 for my swap, and the stock linkage from my 318i (Getrag 240) is far too long
@ProjectRacecar2Күн бұрын
Yes the stock linkage is too long, I used the stock linkage for the e36 that came with the zf transmission, and it fit with zero issues, you'll also use the e36 manual driveshaft but you'll use the e30 center support bearing! Let me know if you have any other questions

@Tzuau787 күн бұрын
Did you listen to what he said? To have the chassis mount shifter you have to have solid or poly mounts. That makes it stiff. So yeah… the shifter install, done correctly, made it stiff. Why throw shade when he is giving good feedback?

New to your channel, but did you try racing the car to see what it's short comings were before you started spending money and what class to run it in. An E30 will be eligible for historic events, though obviously not with a power unit from a different marque.
@ProjectRacecar223 күн бұрын
Very fair question, I didn't really intend for it to be a dedicated track car or to compete, I more so was looking to build something that can be a middle ground and I intend to take it to events to drive it but not necessarily get it into a track class

I am very glad you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and we can't wait to see the car on the road again. Congrats un pushing thru and staying positive during the build. It will be very grateful to show the full list of parts and detail cost of every single part and labor hours, plus money spend on tools so we get a better idea of how much money we are talking about. I know it must be quite a large sum after adding up all the parts, labor and tools. That is including the Car, upholstery, and all the cometic parts that come along with the exterior and interior. Maybe at least a large Sum total of what has been spend up to today. and then add potentially the remaining cost to finish it.

Hey man love seeing the progress on all your vids. I also did a kswap and turbo. Im having an issue though. I got my harness from wiring specialties as well. Where did you plug in your plug labeled reverse? I assumed it was for the reverse light but mine is a different plug and with it unplugged my reverse light still works. Also did you have to do anything for your RPM gauge to work? All my other gauges work except my RPM one. car turns on but just trying to figure these few small things out before im ready for the dyno. Any help is appreciated!
@ProjectRacecar2Ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! The plug labeled reverse should be the reverse lights if I'm not mistaken, mine plugged into the sensor on the passenger side of my zf transmission. But two things might be messed up for the rpm, either you blew a fuse, it's fuse 21 or 22 or something, the second thing is in your link software you might need to turn on the rpm gauge, there should be a folder, I hope this helps
