http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Intake-Manifold-535-735-535i-735i-735il-M30-parts-/370150893319 What does anyone think of modifying this intake to fit the L6 engine? Think there would be any upsides to this intake? Downsides? Problems?

Jealous, I want a bike

I would say this is before, seeming as how this was posted in September. He started the twin scroll exhaust thread two weeks ago... Amazing what you can do with timestamps.

EDIT: disregard

Out of curiosity, how is the timing belt being tensioned?

Is it anything like this???

I just had a similar issue with my car, camshaft was degreed incorrectly. So maybe check that.

If I recall correctly this happened to someone else just a little while ago, use a search and have a nice day

Dude, sorry to hear about the motor; had to be a shitty sinking feeling. I've had those moments once or twice.

Pulled my engine out of my car in preparation for putting the new engine in.

Why a 1.5mm head gasket??? Why not just use a regular old fel-pro 1mm?

Out of curiosity how big are those pistons?

There are multiple threads regarding high compression... Do you know what detonation is? Detonation is what happens when the fuel doesn't get ignited at the right time. Maybe, the longer exhaust duration would help, but that is throwing away power and money. I've heard of people using a hotter spark (i.e. MSD ignition 6AL box) to make sure that all of your fuel is burnt at the right time. Then again, maybe the higher octane in Tennessee will be the answer to your problem. Also, running a richer mixture might help but that make your engine dirty. Hell, I've asked many questions; posted, searched and PM'ed until my questions were answered and I probably annoyed the hell out of some people with everything. Not trying to sound rude but I've gone through similar stuff http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/105053-high-compression-questions/

My general question was did you actually mess with the ZX wiring harness that goes to the alternator... I don't do good without a visual, and lately I've been getting home so late that I cant really see to look at any of this stuff.

Dude, this is an awesome write up... While I don't have an RB setup this is useful with the L28 as well. Thanks for the contribution.

Got any pics of the wiring?

'Nuff Said On a side note: If I wasn't doing a rebuild with my flattops, I would have sold you mine.

Says the article is posted by "Taryn"

I'd be interested in some pics and part numbers for all this stuff.

Maybe they don't have experience with datsun heads? I don't know...

Edit: nevermind

Edit: Double post

How did you get flattop carbs mixed up with flattop pistons? Also, go here http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/105508-racing-flat-top-carbs/ you'll be surprised.

Look at this cam specs from the list I gave you, should give an idea whether it will work or not.
