I would - check the compression - make sure that your head gasket isn't leaking anywhere - if every thing looks good i would also replace the fuel pump w/ the SC kit because the RRFPR (rising rate fuel pressure reg) will put alot of strain on it. | | | 04-20-2005, 03:59 PM | #3 | I miss my Ti....... :( Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 828 | Supercharger Quote: Originally Posted by first_bmw OKay. 1996 ti, babied all its life. 156,xxx on the clock.

I'm shooting for 250,000. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 04-25-2005, 06:54 PM | #5 | islander on the mainland Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 286 | I installed my DASC at about 102,000 miles and have been loving it since. I ran a compression test beforehand to make sure things were running well, but so long as your car has been maintained, you should be good to go. And if you go with a DASC, just know that it was meant to run with a stock setup. Any upgrades you make will help, but aren't necessary. __________________ moku 1996 318ti Cali Top w/ Downing/Atlanta Supercharger 2003 M3 w/ CSL trunk, splitters, & diffuser | | | 04-26-2005, 12:39 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 | I put mine on at 130.

Nah, it's just a pet peave of mine when people do mods before maintenance. It's weird that it bothers me because I have blows hatch shocks (don't work for crap) but I just bought a E30 diff, axles, and a new clutch. God I'm such a hipocrit. | | | 04-26-2005, 08:12 AM | #13 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | well, i'm currently in process doing just that swap (e30 diff and half shafts). reason? i had a half shaft pop out and didn't notice ... until the bearings were starting to whine nicely. also hoping to get to do my brake job soon ... upgrading to e36 325 brakes when i do it (rebuilding calipers that are currently at the powdercoater). so i AM doing maintenance before mods ... kinda ... actually more or less together i'm also installing the supersprint exhaust that's been cocooned in my garage for the past couple months as i do the diff swap. i'll finally be able to move some of the things from the "mods soon to be" category into "current mods." wooohooooo! EDIT: you'll be glad to know i ordered and received all new belts, pulleys and mechanical tensioner too i'm very much contemplating a water pump and hose replacement too, but i don't think i can get all that done before i move to denver, maybe after. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 05-17-2005, 08:07 AM | #14 | Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Wales Wi Posts: 53 | ive got a 96 z and was told that water pump is good to replace as well as clutch. Would it be smart to install a better water pump if there is one? also would bigger injectors net more gains or just waste fuel? | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
