Oil Pump piston and compression spring
I am in the process of assembling M90 engine and was checking the oil pump and noticed this piston with a compression spring. I noticed that there was no tension. For some reason my pump doesn't have item 22 i only have in the diagram items 20, 21,23,24. Has anyone had experience in changing out thi...

Re: Motronic 1.3 conversion
Thanks everyone, I know this has been done before but it's enjoyable. Joe you mentioned the e21 intake runners which sounds like you have, I'm guessing they are longer which moves the torque curve down. Have you noticed any tradeoff on the top end? I was also looking at the Megasquirt, but as I hav...

Re: Motronic 1.3 conversion
That is impressive "Lock".. I had asked the question in this forum to add Motronic 1.3 to 2.8l engine, you might have seen the post. Nice work in upgrading your engine..another simple upgrade would be to install E21 intake runners, what a difference more more response on the lower rpms.. I...

Motronic 1.3 conversion for M30B28
has anyone install M30B35 wire harness with Motronic 1.3 with 179 ECU on M30B28 engine ?
Does anyone know if the 179 Ecu is compatible? or it this ECU specifically for 3.5 engine with high horsepower?
or would a megasquirt work best with M30B28 engine...
any insight is appreciated.
