9/30/2007 Today I will install my exhaust, fuel pressure regulator, move the battery to the back of the car, and drive shaft. We'll start off with the drive shaft. Since the 328is shaft is a little short, I had to extend the shaft just a little bit. (Thanks Gizmo318i for the tip)   --------------------Before----------------------  --------------------After-----------------------   Since my 1997 Ti didn't have the fuel pressure regulator located at the bottom of the car, I had to mount one up.

looking good my friend almost done!! | | | | | 10-03-2007, 06:40 AM | #144 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Ft. Lauderdale, FL Posts: 275 |
Looking good just got mine running today. Its dumping out right after the down pipe (its LOUD!). Couple of quick questions. do you have a random vacuum line the ends right up by the intake. its has suction i have yet to figure out what it is for. The other thing is what fan are you going to be running stock fan clutch or a custom eclectic one? Keep up the good work. | | | | | 10-03-2007, 02:01 PM | #145 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Round Rock, TX Posts: 399 |

Keep up the good work. | It's either connect to the round black thing by your starter or it connects to your fuel pressure regulator. If you got a pic of the hose I can tell you exact where it goes. | | | | | 10-03-2007, 02:32 PM | #146 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: UK Posts: 197 |
if its connected to the round black thing (vacuum reservoir) by the starter it is suction for the exhuast flag regulator. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...36&hg=18&fg=20 I just blocked up the pipe after the vacuum reservoir and tied it back; as I'm not using a stock backbox. | | | | | 10-03-2007, 04:06 PM | #147 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Ft.

I take it this would just plug into the stock air box then?

There is a hole made for it, I know b/c I had teh same problem. I didn't know where the fuel pressure regulator vaccum hose went until I talk to another guy and he was right, there is a hole under the intake manifold for it. | | | | | 10-04-2007, 06:09 AM | #149 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Ft.

I mounted my fuel pressure regulator just like yours but i believe my tube runs up to a breather that is attached to the manifold with a rubber bushing. I think you may be plugging your fpr onto the vacuum port for the exhaust flap. | | | | | 10-04-2007, 08:47 PM | #150 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 |
