E30 M50 Swap pt 5 - Engine In, Custom Exhaust, New Steering Wheel, Vacuum Leak Fix
Part 5 of my E30 m50 swap series. Installed the engine and made a custom exhaust. First engine was bad so I put a new one in. Installed a Momo Retro steering wheel. After fixing the vacuum leak issue, the car runs much better.

E36 - Cooling System Maintenance
zhlédnutí 181Před 2 lety
In this video, I say "clutch fan" a lot when it's usually called a "fan clutch." Technically, the fan clutch is composed of two parts, the clutch (because it uses a clutch mechanism), and the fan blades. Therefore, "fan clutch" should be used to refer to the clutch, and "clutch fan" should be used to refer to the complete assembly, fan blades with clutch attached to it. Just my 2 cents though. ...

Removed the sound deadening with dry ice. Then, tried to find where water was leaking into the interior. Coolant was leaking into the interior from the heater box so I fixed that, along with fixing the broken recirculation flap.

I've not found anything in the door that moves this easily. I'll try again tomorrow.
Hallo Gutes reparatur wideo.Haben sie auch Bmw e46 schwelle neuer schweisen wideos?
Too dark
Thanks a lot man! I got exactly the same problem on my 1994 325 e36 coupe. Did cleaning, re-lubricating the door latch but the problem remains and now even worst. I’m going with the handle as you described here. 👍🏼
The problem I have is it doesn't open from inside and outside on the driver's side
Awesome video man. Even if its old now! 👌🏼😌
So helpfull been opening my Passanger door then my driver door from inside for months 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
Brotha, you just solved my problem!! My door tumbler just spins and I now know that the plastic T piece was missing and the spring and block fell off (found it in the door but didn’t know where it went)! Such a good video with an amazing explanation!
8:23 - I'm glad you're using normal units of measurements, pretty unexpected for a US guy 😅
BEST video bar none!!! 2:05 WHALAAAA!!! handle trim removed!!!
Nice work ive got a m50 swapped e30 too
Youre the man. There were a bunch of videos talking about how this cant be down without the key. I even called a lock smith. Thanks to your video I got it out before I got a call back 😂 Good work, man. Thanks again!
Thanks for posting. I was going to try to tackle this, but man I think I better pay someone!
If you remove the spring and block from the mechanism how does it go back in seems it’s just breaks it and I can’t get I back in?
Is it aligned properly? The block has a protruding line on one side (see 15:59) that might need to be aligned with the hole before it can go in
Nice Video. To get the tumbler out of the first one, instead of picking the at wafers you can insert your own key, then it comes out. When you pull your key out you'll have a wafer mess but you didn't want it anyways.
Hi, nice video. What about the wires covers? Do you know how they go positioned in place?
My vert one just died my back window is gone so that’s how I got in 😂😂
Good shit bro I’ve been putting this off for the longest time but my other door just broke so now I gotta do both haha. You make it look easy!
Nice project! Will you upload new videos of this project ?
Yes, I have more footage recorded already. I am just busy with school right now so I don't have the time to edit and upload. But the semester is almost over so more videos will be coming soon.
@@brandonong2508 i'll keep an eye on new uploads!
holy f*** so much patience
I wish I could find guys like you in Jacksonville, FL to do this kind of work. Nobody will touch my car and it's a shame cuz she is just rusting away on me! Nice work though.
great job man same project going on... do you know what the correct measurement you ended up going with for the gas pedal bracket?
I didn't measure it exactly. I put the carpet back in and lined up the bracket with the cut out in the carpet.
fair thanks brother keep up the good content@@brandonong2508
hey man I'm needing to cut out floorpans from a donor towncar at the salvage yard. any tips on how I can remove them with limited tools? I'm assuming I'll have to use hand tools since I'm not able to use electric/air at the yard
I don't think they'd allow you to get cut out parts since junk yards usually only have part pricing pricing for bolt on parts. I would just find someone local that's parting out and ask to cut a part off. Or you can use plain sheet metal like I did. Third option is to buy a floorpan repair panel from valcas garage or a similar site.
💯👍😎🤙
The arm on mine broke too thanks for the vid
how did you get the carpet out without removing the dashboard? do you have AC?
Check out my interior swap video if u want to see carpet removal. I have AC. Dashboard removal isn't necessary if you're willing to cut some of the carpet. You'd need to cut two lines, where the carpet sits on top of the transmission tunnel/under the heater box. It's okay because the cut parts are hidden behind the shifter surround. If you don't want to cut, you'd have to remove dash, heater box, dashboard bracing (need to move steering column out of the way for this), ... long process. In my video "E36 - Removing Sound Deadening, Finding Water Leak, Fixing Heater Box Coolant Leak" at 11:25, you can see the portion of the old brown carpet that still remains, it's under the heater box.
@@brandonong2508 ahh i get it now... mine is on jackstands for 2-3 years now so it's a bit too late for that , with most of interior removed, also i see that i don't have a pump where you have it, but mine is a touring, and a 2.5l diesel , it's my first car, and the first car i ever worked on
@@brandonong2508 the video will definitely help with assembly when i finish welding
NICE to see how this is done, and frankly , you made it look easy.
Thanks for the kind words sir. I'm no expert, just a home diy guy and this was my first time welding haha.
@@brandonong2508 Done great man well done
Great work
Nicely done! I'd brush the seam sealer on myself though. :) Nice line up of BMW's!
good job!
Did you use flux core mig welder?
I used a mig welder with gas
Nie kompromituj się synku. Wsadź łapy w gówno jak masz odwalać takie numery.
Any reason u using m52 headers n not m50 ? Simple j bc thats what u had available?
m52 headers flow better and are lighter. I actually ended up switching to m50 headers later cus of state ref but that's for a future video
Ooo lets goo
Wow
wow, what the crap?
Love the video, was your gas tank full when you did this, looking to do mine and have heard it’s best to avoid being low on gas , hint the phrase running on fumes
My gas tank was close to empty. Some people take the whole gas tank out to be safe. Since I wasn't doing this, I made sure it had very little fuel so the car won't explode if some hot metal melts through the gas tank.
The car locks use wafers simmilar to pins on house locks. But car keys can go in upsidown. The electical connections are for heater control and power lock and auto close windows double lock. Without them you lost a few functions. Only problem with used door parts is the also break new versions were available for $250 unless you like working on the car. Did it take you 6 hours?
Thanks for the info about the electrical connections. I opted to get a used one from the junkyard cus its way cheaper. Also I enjoy working on cars so i don't mind trading time to save money. I don't remember how long this took cus it was a while ago. Maybe a few hours?
loving this e36 content dude!
Thanks dude. Unfortunately i crashed it haha. Will be making videos on rebuilding it tho
I am not sure but was there not some spot welds between the rusted area and the front subframe rail?
I think you're talking about the long flat edge that is partially primered partially bare metal at 4:40. Yes there were spot welds but most it was rusted so it was easy to remove. Then I just hit it with an angle grinder to clean up the rest.
@@brandonong2508 I was try to get at that I did not see you weld there and its needed for structural rigidity
@@woocash2139 I drilled holes in the new sheet metal and plug welded them at that spot, I just didn't record it.
good video bro keep on going, its just so nice to see that youre giving the e36 some love!
I love you, I need to do this
my car ist leaking water from the heater unit. after spraying the windshild watter was flowing inside now i have remove it i will replace all gaskets but damn are they overprice
Hey what gauge sheet metal did you use for the floor pans?
I think it was 18 gauge
@@brandonong2508 oh wow I’m surprised, I’m repairing some huge holes in my e28 and I did get 18 gauge but now I feel like it’s way too thin and bendy so I feel like I should go with 14 or 16, idk tho 🤷🏼♂️
@@dnipma1535 18 gauge should hold fine once it's welded in. I did some research online and people seemed to say 18 is good
@@brandonong2508 yeah that’s what I’ve read to, I’ll just try and it and see if I need thicker, I can always cut more out
Nice floor repair job and good work on the diagnostics too! I'm a 70's and older car and pickup guy , there's way too much electronic er um STUFF on these modern cars! 😎
Thanks dude! Older cars are way more straightforward with their parts and simpler electrical stuff. I have experience with modern bmws and dealership software, but old cars will always be best.
Trust me those aren't that bad, e36's are still rather simple for what they are and his is obd2 so at least the diagnostic tools can do something and telll you things. I have an e36 too but an earlier one so it doesn't have obd2, meaning if it has some problem and you've diagnosed everything mechanical and you think it's some electronic bullshit that's bad like a sensor or something, well good luck because you're not gonna have the luxury of plugging in a scanner and just reading what's wrong. Cars that have electronics but no good way of scanning for electronic errors are a pain.
bullshit.
i have that same kia stinger, nice vid man!
W vid!
Wow! Now I am going to purchase a BMW for myself!
