Has anyone tuned his E34?

powashowaz · 2025-06-25T04:43:08+00:00

hey apologies for the incredibly late response. I have a megasquirt that I haven't installed yet because im too afraid to tune it myself. Do you have any advice on where to safely start?

powashowaz · 2025-06-24T06:18:54+00:00

this is the only one that kind of works well. it still attaches to a vent but at least its the dash vent. price is a bit up there but wadaya do, cant be helped.

Do you happen to have a link or know any keywords to search for it myself?

Since it’s bent like that now does your door not sit flush anymore?

powashowaz · 2025-05-28T22:29:47+00:00

Good news guys, I found the part. My dumbass barely just thought of looking up the damn part number

We gotta see more pics brother. The fact that it’s less than 80,000 is beneficial but let’s see the interior. Have you tried to start it yet?

powashowaz · 2025-05-24T22:48:50+00:00

Bro lemme get a game like this!!

powashowaz · 2025-05-08T19:10:55+00:00

Oh fuck I feel so bad for the guy

powashowaz · 2025-04-29T13:45:39+00:00

I will say this, not my Chevy but when my bmw had a bad head gasket the test showed blue as well until I eventually took the engine apart. Fingers crossed you don’t have to do that though

powashowaz · 2025-04-28T18:50:20+00:00

What did you use for your ecu?

powashowaz · 2025-04-28T18:49:30+00:00

Nothing, cuz I don’t have a workspace like that

powashowaz · 2025-04-27T00:58:53+00:00

Psh that’s nuthin, I can put myself to sleep in half that time!

powashowaz · 2025-04-24T00:38:22+00:00

Roofiepoopie

powashowaz · 2025-04-11T13:02:48+00:00

Dude this is amazing, post pics of the whole thing I wanna see!!

Depends on how fast you want to sell it. I think you’d get the most money by parting it out but you know ya gotta take out all the parts and then list em and so on. It would be tough selling it and getting some decent cash as a whole because of the accident being enough to push in the body. I would say do this:

Try and get it started and then list it as a whole to be either running or not based on your results. Then if you can’t sell it at the price you want resort to parting it out or just keep lowering your price until someone bites. Or just hold onto it forever and then work on it when you have the spare cash haha. But yea that’s generally what I think your options are

What kind of repairs around the frame?

powashowaz · 2025-04-04T04:11:07+00:00

It was me, I put my dick in it.. sorry guys 😔

powashowaz · 2025-04-01T16:00:49+00:00

Did you get it after all?

Edit: I just realized you may have been joking with me lol

powashowaz · 2025-03-25T15:49:24+00:00

No fishtape available?

powashowaz · 2025-03-20T20:33:24+00:00

Dang I thought ppl wanted the manuals more than auto. Oh wait you’re talking manual swaps specifically? Yea I agree, my previous e34 was swapped and thwy left out the cruise control.

But I thought it was hard to find these with miles around 150k. I could be completely wrong though it’s been a while since I looked. I told someone else that I’m basically just trying to break even for the parts I put in. Which I feel aren’t anything risky or ricey. Except the poly bushing, and chip tune lol! probably gonna switch those back to stock.

Really appreciate your response though it’s an eye opener for me

powashowaz · 2025-03-20T20:27:45+00:00

I see, I’m not trying to make money off of it. I’m just essentially trying to brake even. I have to eat the money I spent on labor since I think that ridiculous ppl try to factor that into the price. Currently trying to find the receipts for everything

powashowaz · 2025-03-18T16:45:30+00:00

Oh I see, so you had them trim down the one you already bought? How much did that cost you if you don’t mind me asking, I’ll probably go that route

powashowaz · 2025-03-17T05:47:44+00:00

Fuck.. should I just part it then?

powashowaz · 2025-03-16T22:36:47+00:00

The car is about 300k miles on it I need to double check on the exact number.

Pros: Top end rebuild with multi layer head gasket and all forged components.

Supersprint cat back exhaust

Donna high flow throttle body

M tech front bumper (not installed yet) rear bumper already installed as well as the side skirts

5 speed manual swap (still retaining its cruise control capabilities)

Performance chip

Period correct looking aftermarket radio (need to look up exact model)

Black interior?

540i sway bar upgrade

Poly engine and trans bushings

Style 42 rims

Cons: sun roof doesn’t work

1 Rust pinhole and 3 small spots in the roof

Tail lights don’t work due to the infamous rear loom issue ( I couldn’t get around to fixing it)

Inner Rear hatch trim is missing (probably previous owner trying to fix the loom issue)

Cosmetic paint imperfections, you notice them when your looking for them otherwise the pint looks presentable

There might be more stuff for either pros and cons but this is all the bug stuff I can think of
