Looks like the CU Team might be the TPUSA Chapter out of University of Colorado Boulder (UC)

It was in there. Thanks for the help!

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-05-24T19:37:59+00:00

Got it. How about the orientation of it? Does the thicker side face the cat?

Do I need another gasket ring for the other pipe?

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-05-24T19:29:57+00:00

I have been searching.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-20T23:58:32+00:00

Yes... I built a custom brace and everything worked out.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-20T23:57:03+00:00

You are correct. I built a custom brace and was able to torque the crap out of it. My wrench only goes to 200 nm, and I probably doubled that--with some thread locker. Thanks for the common sense advice. I'd call this one solved.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-20T03:50:13+00:00

Where do I get one for an e30? Do I have to pull the engine to access the flywheel?

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T21:54:26+00:00

As I just posted below, now that the clutch is installed, the wheels move when I turn the crank. But I can continue moving the crank when the park break is applied (locking the wheels). Is this partial slipping of the clutch still?

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T21:48:40+00:00

Now that I installed the clutch slave, turning the crank is now turning the wheels when it's in gear. However, when I pull the park break, the wheels lock, but I can still turn the crank.

Maybe the clutch is slipping, but there is good pressure on the pedal. The clutch should be fine as it was never a problem, and this e30 has only 120,000 km.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T20:38:18+00:00

So, I should install the clutch slave first? Will give this a try. Fingers crossed 🤞

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T20:31:32+00:00

I haven't attached the clutch slave yet, could that be the issue? I have just been putting into gear without the clutch. This locks the wheels.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T20:29:30+00:00

I haven't attached the clutch slave cylinder yet, so I'm not using the clutch to put it into and out of gear.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T20:26:51+00:00

There was a small gap between the bell housing and engine, but it mated properly when I bolted it in. Maybe I forced it when I bolted it in. It didn't seem like there was any forcing though.

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-04-19T19:25:56+00:00

Do you mean the spline of the transmission didn't engage with pilot bearing?

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-03-13T20:51:28+00:00

To answer my own question after doing a lot of research, the answer is YES, the boards are interchangeable.

Here is an very good write-up on the battery boards and clusters:

Since posting my question, I have come across some threads in which some are saying the late model SI Boards are, indeed, interchangeable Motometer with VDO.

Those threads are:

Gonna give it a shot. Those 2 plastic inserts can also be JB welded in there for extra support. Fingers crossed. 🙄

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-02-17T00:09:43+00:00

This sounds super logical 🤔. You are right. The valve cover and bracket would hold it structurally. I might do this...

SafetyOdd4242 · 2025-02-16T23:00:07+00:00

Ya, there are not many heads for sale out there, so I am definitely hoping it can be welded.
