In your image, the wheel is set up correctly. The missing tooth is 9 teeth "ahead" of the sensor at TDC. That's exactly what mine looks like.
This means that my trigger angle in spark settings is s ...

Michael, I have a stock exhaust on my tii and it is really quiet compared to my '02 with the ireland header and exhaust. The stock tii muffler is different from the normal 02 muffler, but I can't te ...

I have an M3 starter in my non-tii. It's awesome. Sounds great, turns over fast, is lighter and less bulky than the stock starter. It's not something you NEED, but it is a nice upgrade.

Is the linkage opening up the carbs all the way?

Ahmed, Norm's suggestion is a good one. Check this first before you do anything else.

There's been some discussion on this. Sometimes the link ...

I let my youngest daughter (19) drive mine, less so since I restored it. I always tell her that in a normal car, you are just going from A to Z, but in the bimmer YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR! In other w ...

Right on Chris, congratulations. I admire your courage to sell the car with no reserve. I'm glad it worked out for you. The new owner bought a beautiful car. Having gone through a novice resto-ref ...

No problem at all. I have the same problem. I mounted my toothed wheel 180 degrees offset, just like you. Just switch the coils, or switch the leads from the EDIS to the coils.

It's a wasted spa ...

I followed this procedure with a couple of minor modifications. It will take a full day to install, plus a couple of ...

Darn. Out of town on vacation!

Michael, What you think it should be? Your final run seems to be on the rich side. Do you need to be more rich than about 13.5? With my megasquirt, that's the richest I run, which is at WOT at app ...

Here is a link to a discussion on not only how much zinc, but it's effects when the Shell 4 ball wear test examines the topic. Seems that the acronym of ZDDP referrs to a range of ZDDPs, so the a ...

I've been adding 1/2 bottle per oil change of STP 4-cyl oil treatment (red bottle) per one of the recommendations that was made on one of the many threads on this topic. It's a fact the ZDDP levels h ...

I've got an escort toothed wheel already mounted on a pulley, email me if you're interested.

Sounds good! I'll see if I can get away in spite of being knee deep in my wife's (not mine) home improvement project...

Nice job Tom!

I used a standard type feeler gauge which was a bit difficult to maneuver due to the space constraints. Wondering if there is another type that might work better. I suspect I may have adjusted the ...

The Sonora Pass road is my all-time favorite road! It is absolutely spectacular. I've never done it in either of my 02's. First time I did it was 30 years ago in my 68 VW westfalia camper. I shoul ...

not coming on when it should or not coming on at all. Huge difference. If the fan works, but it's not coming on when it "should", then you've most likely got a problem with the thermoswitch, or you ...

It's a good sound. Assertive, but not obnoxious, and not "ricey" to quote Jeff Ireland. I'm sure there's someone in the bay area that has one that you can check out live. I wouldn't rely on a sound ...

Very cool. I'm considering doing this trip myself. I have to deliver my daughter to U of O in Eugene third week of September. What a great excuse to take a road trip in the bimmer! Just have to ta ...

Others will jump in with more details, but I believe the turbo radiator is wider. It is not a direct replacement on a tii. You'll probably have to move the fuel filter at a minimum.

I'm good!

My car has been on the road for what, 3-4 weeks now? I'm very happy with the result. Car looks great. Of course, if you look really really close and nitpick, there's minor shortcomings ...

Ash, I believe this is an S52, but I'm not 100% sure. This was done by the fabrication shop next to Ireland Engineering in Duarte, CA. I believe the name of the shop is Gromo?

It's a pretty clea ...

Nice pics Steve,

It was a really nice drive. Weather was BEAUTIFUL. Surprisingly uncrowded, except for the sloooowwwww bikers!

Thanks Jeff and John for organizing. Looking forward to the next ...

Where are we all meeting?

Thanks for the link Steve, I did not know you had to also register for the drive!

"better" can mean a lot of things. Cheaper? Easier to install and configure? Support? features? etc etc.

Megasquirt works very very well. There's several on this board that have successfully im ...

Blunt, congratulations! I know you must be so thrilled just to get the car finished, but Best of Show??? Wow, icing on the cake, that's an understatement. The car is STUNNING!!

I chose the E12 head for two reasons. First, is piston availability. I wound up using MaxSil pistons because of the outrageous cost for Mahles. I don't know of any aftermarket cast pistons for the ...
