I Bought the Most Interesting BMW E34 535i Yet | Metric Mechanic M30B37 Stroker

[@JatsaMotors]

As a fellow E34 535i owner myself, I definitely approve of this purchase! I hadn't heard of Metric Mechanic before, so this video was really interesting. In the future, I plan to take a more conventional approach to gaining more horsepower by doing a turbo build :)

I've seen some well built turbo m30s that are absolutely NASTY For what it's worth, I approve👍

E34: the official channel

Classic Daily has a stand alone ECU system called the "Turkey and Cheese" I am using it in my M30b35 swap into my E3. Uses Motronic 1.3 harness and has a lot of tuning flexibility. Thank you for your videos.

Same here, I use the turkey and cheese ECU on my own M20B25. Works fantastic, tunes with tuner studio. Has enabled me to put a wideband and individual coils also for example

I don’t care I love your videos i love bmw I love everything about this channel, and it’s first time hearing metric mechanic ❤

Hi Josh, hope you're doing good, that's a great because you're showing us, can't wait to see more of it! I had exactly the same issue on my stock B35 as you're having with this engine, bad revving, backfires... Mine was running very rich in addition to that. I solve the revving and backfire problem by replacing the fuel pressure regulator, you should check it and try with another one and I'm pretty sure you'll solve this. thx for your videos that helped me a lot!

Yes! A big displacement m30! Would love that setup for my e28 😁

[@devirkesici7096]

It has a smooth idle. If there was an air leak, it would not start or should not have a smooth idle like M20s. It looks like a fuel issue because it bogges and becomes lean. Maybe you can find a stock ECU or other brands stroked ECU , delete the piggyback, and build your own standalone ECU after the engine gets into a healthy state.

very nice find

[@carsaretrulyart]

Love your content Josh!

[@juancorrea9037]

Awesome find and in almost perfect condition. Why can I find one like that in Puerto Rico? Even the nonmodified ones that I've seen here for sale are crap. Only the e24's and e30's for sale here are well kept. E34's nah. Cant wait to see and hear it running good.

[@puttitat2851]

Congrats on an amazing purchase. Sounds almost like a lean pop - weak pump, clogged filter, bad fuel?

[@BerwhaleTheAvenger-b5s]

M10's and M30's went from duplex to simplex chains in 1980. 286 bhp? I'd want to see it on the dyno.......that's E28 S88 power, and an Alpina B10 did 260. Dunno! I'd start by refitting the correct air flow meter and ECU to start with just to get in running/driving. Looks a good car though.

From what I know about piggy backs I know from my step dad who was around at that time is the ecu that is there is stock the modified tune is all on the piggy back this is old school to me but I would assume the stock ecu has no provisions for the maff that was on the piggy back and that’s why you’re car won’t rev because it’s getting a bunch of air it doesn’t know what to do with it can’t add enough fuel fast enough with the stock ecu you might get lucky you got 3 options a stand alone but you might get lucky and there is a way to use a ms41 or have someone in Europe who might be able to tune the stock ecu to work without a piggyback they got real good at tuning older bmw stock ecu over there but what I would do first again it would be a luck thing maybe you can find a used piggy back that it’s already wierd for and you would have to find someone who still tunes it look into all of them before you make your choice you might be able to save some time and effort without having to wire the whole car
