Rowleym Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 May I ask why you went m50-s50? No plans of other mods in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 May I ask why you went m50-s50? No plans of other mods in the future? M50 + G250 is pretty high miles (240xxx) or so S50 + ZF + DME + harness was cheaper than rebuilding an M50, and has almost 80xxx less miles. I'll slowly add other things to the car as well. Suspension stuffs and such. It's pretty much plug and play for some extra hp/torque and still cheaper than pouring money into a leaky m50 And it's something to keep me busy andyhundley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 So in my efforts to swop. I also want to clean up as much stuff within the bay as possible. I am torn on running heat or not I will be passing the TB. Still on the fence with PS too. The evap/charcoal canister can thing I would also like to ditch. Assuming this would be as simple as venting to atmosphere? There is also a connector that goes from the TB to the top of this (purge valve?) assuming that would still need to be plugged into the harness otherwise it will throw a cel? The line with the red tape is the line coming from the gas tank. Other line with harness plug goes to TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Why vent your expensive fuel vapors to atmosphere? Sent from my potato phone So I can get rid of a crusty piece of shit that's 27 years old. I wonder how functional it is in its current state. But mainly so I have one less thing to put back into the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Use a plastic e36 one, or a universal one. Weighs nothing and keeps your car from smelling like gas all of the time. Good work on the swop, this should be awesome. Sent from my potato phone Id welcome the smell of gas. This thing smells like oil/coolant now jc43089 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 In all seriousness though, I may replace it and try and hide it somewhere. The one that was on there now is zip tied to the brake lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 the smell really isn't anything noticeable in my experience. Mine has been removed/vented to atmosphere since I got the car and never have i smelled gas to the point of getting annoyed. But then again, I know, engines/cars are not all created equal.

KaiserRolls Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Removable core support was the best decision in my life (a close second was Mac sauce on a mcchicken. -no lettuce because I'm not a damn rabbit) This is one greasy bitch. Good news is my car protected itself from rusting any worse than it already was by neatly spreading oil everywhere. Anyhow. This will chill on some tires until it finds a new home. Super glad I picked up bottlecaps from Drleadballs on the cheap. The hoist was too tall to fit under the rack. I didn't want to put the car on jackstands. So substitute bottlecaps (a close third behind Mac sauce on a mcchicken, maybe even a tie?) That's about it for now. Gonna clean the bejesus out of everything. And then maybe get around to ordering parts for the s50. Jdesign and DrLeadFoot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Trans is clean enough for me. I do give earl props for the tooth brush. I used a wire brush for 14 seconds and gave up. Sprayed it with gunk and pressure washed it instead. Then rolled the car outside, gunked it & pressure washed it. Rolled it inside, cleaned some more and then temporarily hit it with flat black (I believe the PO had satin/semi gloss) I may try to go back to that. Not sure It's no gunmetalgray bay, but I'm okay with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 What was your decision on the charcoal canister? I got rid of mine last year including the hardline that ran to the back, had it wrong the tank pressurized which was funny. I am now venting to atmosphere and using a garden tractor style fuel filter to keep things clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm just going to vent to atmosphere and toss a filter on the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yep, that's how I ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
