A poke in the eye with a sharp stick? Looks like a royal PITA to me!

The motor just got sll new seals/gaskets and new exhaust valves. Time to see how much more boost it can take, before i took it out it was spiking up to 17lbs! Its pretty scary especially since it only has rear brakes and one hydraulic circuit.

I am building another 1600 for boost with dual valve springs
and such.


This E34 sure is a bummer though...

After many hours it is a classy e34 again, now wih fully functioning climate control. For anyone with an e34 wondering about IHKR computers it seems 2/3f are fully
Interchangeable wihout any coding required.

Good thing to, since IHKR2 computers are hard to find.

LOL! A better question would be what wasn't wrong.

1. Aux. Water pump self distructed and melted the wires all the way back to the fire wall. Got 3 pumps and valves from the pull a part for $15
2. Blower motor was TOASTED bearings are gone and it had about 1" of wobble. Got 2 for $10 each
3. IHKR module had a small fire inside (pics to follow) this caused a shit storm of electrical issues for the ZKE. I got 3 IHKR modules for $9!
4. The car had about 2 pounds of old alarm,telephone, and stereo wiring, so all that is gone. All the wiring has been retaped and all ghettoness is gone.

Everything works great now! I have wheeler dealered the hell outta this car. I'd say i have about 100 hours into it in the last few weeks :shock:

I am going to a run an electric fan, so I added this E30 defroster switch turned sideways to control the relay. I'll probably end up running two relays so I can turn it on but also have it come on with the temp switch.

Looks oem, dims and everything :cool:

Here it is 'on'
