BMW M3 S50 VANOS BENCH TEST
zhlédnutí 48Před 4 měsíci
having rebuilt this S50 vanos unit ,this short video shows a quick bench test. this video shows a test activating the vanos piston, you'll also need to test the other solenoid and make sure it retracts,of which I've not shown. however you get the general idea of the S50 vanos test. to note , care with solenoid polarity must be taken,use lower than 12 volts and low pneumatic pressure is to be used.
E30 M20 engine oil pressure primed, prior startup

BMW M20B25 engine,how I prime oil pressure without cranking on my fresh builds. why I do this ? to ensure the motor is primed with oil prior to cranking and check oil flow to the cam.

thanks for demystifying gearbox operation! A great video, would love to see some of the refresh work - new bearings etc.
Hi Jon. Thanks for the video. Guessing your a Kiwi. I am looking to rebuild a purple tag where you would order a seal kit from in NZ. FCP?
youre the man! thank you🙏
Thank you 😀
Did you get this finished?
Yes I did, if you intend to use the same style of aftermarket tank. The filler neck at the tank needs adjustment and be careful not to damage the tank ,otherwise it fouls on the subframe, cheers Jon
Is there any chance youd be willing to show how to replace a blower motor resistor on a m40 318i?
Hey jon im extremwly desperate to know ro the F do i change my cabin fan resistos its not the same as on the 6 cylinders i discovered i have a 89 318i M40 car and i canf find a manual or good info anywere ive gone to the point to just take apart the whole dash just to try and figure out how it works if you have info or goods tips pls write back. -Stefan
Hi Stefan, sorry for the late response , traditionally the blower resister in the later E30 was located by the blower motor- bulkhead. However you may have the style where the resister is located in the heater box ,in the cabin, left side ,under dash and above the heater Tap,it's a brown square block. Hope you manage to locate it and got it sorted. Cheers Jon
@@das.bmw.mechaniker thanks alot ill have a look at that you are a life saver!
@@das.bmw.mechaniker oh and also while i have you here i am looking into replacing my transmission in mine since mine is whining like crazy now i have heard that the pre 1990 does not have a overdrive on 5th and only the older ones like my 89 have overdrive is this true or false and can i use either ttrans in my car its a manual btw
@@das.bmw.mechanikeralso to remove the cabin blower is it roughly the same as the m20 cars im very careful now since i akready broke the litle plastic piece that holds the "lid" shut over the fan ill haft to glue that back if i can
Hi Jon, I’m running this exact setup in my 88 convertible. Pulls like a train, but still running the stock 2.5 ECU and I always feel like there’s more there to give but not sure how to unlock it. Any hints on a better ECU option for the stroker?
I have heard excellent reports from Sssquid chip tunes. If you aren't already running a 272 cam you are leaving a lot on the table as well.
With the 130mm rod (-5mm) and 9mm more stroke (+4.5mm throw) the piston sits 0.5mm further below deck than a stock m20b25. It’s a good idea to machine a bit more off deck or use thinner gasket to optimise CR and squish
An arrow! brilliant thanks mate
No problem 😀
factual, straightforward. ahead of 98% of CZcamsrs as there's no waffle! Let's have more of this please master.
Thank you , kind words 🙏
