I’m getting really bad about documenting what i’m doing and even updating the blog. But here’s a brief recap of what went on over the winter:
- Oiling System
- Oil pan baffle installed
- Oil pump nut locktited and wired
- Power Steering System
- New reservoir and hoses. Used a custom hose for the reservoir to cooling trumpet to eliminate the weak factory crimp connection
- New shocks/struts/springs
- TCKline DA shocks/struts with 450/500# springs
- I got these used for a pretty good deal and had them rebuilt
- Front subframe reinforcements installed
- Cooling System
- New thermostat and housing
- New S54 Z3M radiator
- Spal electric fan
- Custom ducting
- New belt tensioner (converted to hydraulic) and belt
- Deleted all A/C components, washer, other misc bits
- Thinned wiring harness to remove unneeded wiring
Hi Dan
Great project !
I’m also looking at using a MBED LPC4088 for hooking into the sensors on a BMW M3 E36, would you be able to share your schematic and code for reading engine coolant and oil temp sensors along and also the RPM ?
BTW I’m looking to use an “EVE” display from FTDI!
