My 1974 02 is getting a new B48…has this been documented??

[resra]

Never seen an engine like that! Before 8? That would be a 7!

[Noho2002]

That’s a B48…it’s in the 330i of current years. I’m not what u mean by 8 or 7 though

Many similarities between the B48 and B58 engines.  Here is info on the B58.  There may be a similar document for the B48.

Engine load control is for the most part with the throttle wide open and the valvetronic system controlling the intake valves lift.

Is that Taiga, Florida?

 

I just did a Honda AP2 swap and one thing I learned is that you need a lot of room for the radiator and fan. The shark nose really eats up space. Hopefully you won't have to modify the core support and ruin that paint.

Keep the pictures coming, Noho. The more the better !!

[Noho2002]

Pics will be coming during this week as the we are trying to get the fitment on the engine bay without modifying anything but the tranny tunnel. The new 6 speed is a bit fatter :))

Maybe rack and pinion might accomodate some of the shoehorning necessary.

Thanks Jim,

That technical training manual is awesome! 

Consumed two cups of coffee and a good amount of my Sunday morning .... couldn't put it down!!

Is a similar manual available for our 50-year-old M10??  If so, it's probably a very short read. 🙂

Great read indeed thank you for that. I think also the radiator will have enough space. Only fabrication will be the tranny tunnel

Nope, maybe custom homage to Golf with a little Taiga thrown in?

You might find it helpful when figuring out things like the water temperature valve control .

Then you might like this one John, on M Engines History … No M10, though it does cover S14, and there’s a bit o’ M10 in there.

 

Geek out to some historical engine tech..

 

(Apologies OP, this is completely OT. )

What a exciting project. I looked into this same motor for my car and saw that Motec could support it but wasn’t brave enough to try and figure out the fitment. 
 

Excited to follow along!

Sheeesh....I'll stick with the M10 in our "Flintstone" cars!

Valve guides cannot be replaced??? Are these modern marvels throw-aways?????

I know some valve guides are sleeved to repair instead of replacing the entire guide.
