Re: Project 2 : front mount SA GTV 3.0 - Sei diff

To reply to wondering everyone use Sei diff .. Was it is very simple bolt in conversion with your brake set up all in position ... Also there were loads of Sei spares in South Africa . Bmw spares then we're very very expensive especially when sourcing an M car for the LS while the Sei comes with one .

Re: GTA crank and 164 12V crank pulley

Z it's seems you making life hard for youself :D With the amount of electrical failures ( whether it's been a rare alternator issue or a rare fault in a kill switch ) I have had in a GTV in the years I don't think I would trust an electric pump for water especially when the mechanical one has never ...

Re: Problem with 164 24v running on 3 cylinders

You may have jumped one tooth on left bank . Check your timing marks on back of cams . You don't need cam block tools but they are helpful . Just use a piece of paper under a cam cap to hold it in position .( then obviously remove it after ) Im far from a mechanic but managed to set my timing no pro...

Re: Project 2 : front mount SA GTV 3.0 - Sei diff

Update : car is running perfectly but as projects always evolve my next plan is to change the rear differential from the 13:47 ( 3.61 ratio) which I took from the Alfa sedan and replace it with the E36 M3 Diif . If I had a high reving 3.2 motor I would probably leave this differential in but with my...

Re: 166 24v into 116 GTV

That is strange as this part is from late model 166 phase two engine . It must have been a correction on these cars to stop the leak that occurs here . This reason I was wanting to machine groove for O ring .

Re: Problem with 164 24v running on 3 cylinders

On the 164 wiring loom it goes into a pair of igniters modules .. The one could be faulty . I had that on my 164 which meant it only fired on one bank .
Worth a look into.
