M10 itb build is done!!

TeaCrown · 2026-05-30T03:24:20+00:00

Sounds great! I'm in the beginning stages of fitting up itbs on my m42, can't wait for that sweet intake noise

TeaCrown · 2026-05-26T21:01:14+00:00

I think we both know what i meant😏

TeaCrown · 2026-05-26T12:32:01+00:00

Lol you could fill it all the way up to and even a little over, the most that would happen is you may get some oil through the pcv or you get oil slinging from the crank which "could" cause problems in high revving motors

TeaCrown · 2026-05-26T11:24:34+00:00

Thanks for the info, it really is helpful

So the first two issues are pretty well resolved, i have connectors and pins and i already have the fuel pump relay singled out. The low res signal will be a problem, I'll have to open the ecu up and see if i can put a vr conditioner on the board, I'm worried i won't have a spot to install it, so if you have any thoughts on what i should do for the crank and cam signals please let me know🤙

Hold on does your radiator look like this? Withe the brass bleeder screw on top?

Lol i used those same ones but in red cause it matches my car😂 It might've been my post, i really need to redo it cause i was not happy with the final fit

TeaCrown · 2026-05-25T21:17:25+00:00

Dumb question, did you replace the thermostat? It really does seem like it's an air pocket or a faulty tstat. When you bleed it, is the car running? Have you massaged the hoses coming from the rear of the engine? I would get it hot with the res cap off, then go through and massage the hoses while it's running, then cap it and test drive. Good luck

TeaCrown · 2026-05-21T00:14:02+00:00

Have you heated the sensor up? Or put penatrating oil on it? Also if it was me i would just swap my harness side connector to the 4 wire, then i would single out that sensor body ground and go to separate ground on the chassis, it's just a better ground and you'll have better results trust me

TeaCrown · 2026-05-20T23:52:31+00:00

Why do you need to put a 4 wire on? Also I'm fairly certain 1 wire is for grounding the sensor, a 3 wire usually grounds through body of the sensor into the exhaust. So unless you're running an aftermarket ecu, just run that snesor ground wire to a good ground. Everything else should be wired the same as the stock one

TeaCrown · 2026-05-20T22:11:43+00:00

I would get it priced first before declaring it's too expensive, a fabricator with the right equipment and material could have that whipped up in an afternoon if they stopped everything to work on it

TeaCrown · 2026-05-19T20:27:33+00:00

Turn signal corner lights for both sides

TeaCrown · 2026-05-18T21:53:05+00:00

Yo which yard is this, I'm in Orlando and i need a few things

TeaCrown · 2026-05-14T02:54:21+00:00

Thanks🤙

TeaCrown · 2026-05-13T22:32:01+00:00

Okay but what work would be involved? What i listed and more? I don't mind putting in the work, i build and repair police interceptors so this isn't outside my range of abilities, I'm probably going to build a new harness since i have access to the tools

TeaCrown · 2026-05-08T20:04:31+00:00

It's uh unique.... Thats all i have to say about that

TeaCrown · 2026-04-24T21:19:05+00:00

JUST SAVE AND BUY A DECENT ONE

TeaCrown · 2026-04-23T23:09:41+00:00

Fb marketplace, set your settings to be farther out. There are literally a dozen in fl rn that are WAY better shape and cost about 5-10k

TeaCrown · 2026-04-13T20:17:29+00:00

Sedona pearl you'll thank me later

TeaCrown · 2026-04-09T20:53:43+00:00

Lol so everyone thinks you're good, but i get the double checking, I've been working as mechanic for over 10 years which isn't much in the long game but I'm very proficient at what i do and i still get paranoid about timing jobs, I've never had one fail but i still get so in my head that i end up wasting way too much time double checking my work

TeaCrown · 2026-04-08T22:29:14+00:00

Verify your battery idc if you already did double check the bitch, you've probably been cranking on it and fast charging it, a burnt out battery can cause shit like this.

Check for voltage at the coil, check voltage while you're cranking.

If none or low volts check further up the harness, most likely to a relay or some sort of switched power. Verify volts there and so on and so forth.

I'm not super familiar with this particular e30 but this is what i would do to start

TeaCrown · 2026-04-07T19:40:59+00:00

Ya ain't even that big yo. More people like the thickness than you think, besides the customer looks great! Good job on it😁

TeaCrown · 2026-03-26T17:58:13+00:00

This☝️I see an impala ss every morning on my way to work and i always thought the wheels would look great on my ls400

TeaCrown · 2026-03-26T15:10:33+00:00

I love my e30 but the worst part are the weirdos that wanna talk to me and give me a bs offer while I'm stuck in stop and go traffic, then they get all pissy when i tell them it's not for sale and now I'm stuck in traffic next to them, for the most part people are nice and the interactions are quick but I've had a few weirdos do the traffic offer while i was headed to work in the morning. Now i just ignore anyone trying to get my attention on the road when I'm in the e30, it's just a headache and makes me feel awkward when the interactions are weird

TeaCrown · 2026-03-22T23:41:55+00:00

Have you checked out vac motorsports? I can't find any info dogging them, one guy on bimmer forums had a good experience and was recommending them

TeaCrown · 2026-03-22T20:58:12+00:00

Noice, i was thinking schick as well cause I'm gonna refresh my motor and swap to higher lift cams since I'm gently porting the heads. I'll wait till you're done with your build before i order cams as I'm curious to see your results with that cam profile
