BMW E9 (Car is on Page 2)
I picked these up for my new project, should add a little go fast and not suck as much as the zeniths on the car right now.
Am I missing something here? It looks like an accelerator pump or something should go there, but both carbs are missing it and the carbs came off of a supposedly running car.
Other carb
This look like an EGR port to you guys?
Plugged vacuum source?
Build thread later? Maybe... Maybe I can be as cool as Aaron and Will...

With your dry sense of humor and the Internets inability to convey tone, I can never tell when you are serious.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
Chuckle. It looks like a pair of three cylinder manifolds. Was thinking it might be a strange setup for a Jag, but they usually run three twin chokes. Is it for a Triumph?
Beyond that I know nothing about Webers. Do they have model markings on them anywhere?
Google thinks this page has Weber information: http://www.triumphspitfire.com/weber.html

That's a roundel, isn't it?
That's what wasting a few minutes on the internet at 1 AM after spending 6 hours cleaning pistons and rods will get you.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
Yeah its Blau mit Weiss.
Supposedly my Bimmer came with Zeniths which supposedly suck, and these are supposedly webers, which are supposedly go fast parts.
If you haven't noticed... I don't know carbs.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
I see a cover in this picture

And in this picture
http://www.euronet.nl/~wilaben/40dcnf.jpg
I need to look on the car itself and see what the story is on the carbs that are on it.
I have three sets of carbs for this car, so we'll see. I've never re-built a carb.

What car is it? E21? Obviously it's a 6...
I just got that joke about joining me and Aaron this morning.

Hmm....CincinnatiFiero wrote:You'd have more luck finding an M635csi donor car, I've seen shittastic ones around here for like $2,500, but personally the 635 is way more bad ass than an E34 so then I'd switch the project over to buldup the 635.
I would have pegged you with enough class to have said 2002, but then you wouldn't be looking at a 6 cylinder carb setup. I don't even know if the E21's had 6 cylinders...

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
There was a 320i/6 and a 323i in later years of the E21. The 635 is close man, E9

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
Okay well my motor will be here this week. Is there any desire to see a build thread for a 3.0CS resto in the near future? I have to get my 87 Fiero out of the warehouse so I have room to bring the 3.0 downstairs.
Anyone rebuilt their own calipers?
I just about shit my pants
$415... each.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
I rebuilt the ones on my Fiero, the only difficult part was getting the rubber boot back on around the piston.
Downside was none of the actual mechanicals got replaced with the rebuild kit.

ABSOLUTELY. That's definitely a classic car.CincinnatiFiero wrote:Is there any desire to see a build thread for a 3.0CS resto in the near future? I have to get my 87 Fiero out of the warehouse so I have room to bring the 3.0 downstairs.
You going to resto or resto-mod? An M30B35 EFI + mods could easily give you 50 HP over the M30B30. That with a Getrag 260 or 265 would be a nice setup.
What's too replace? The only thing that can hamper the function of the hard parts is corrosion. If your sealing surfaces aren't pitted, there's no reason to replace the part.Xanth wrote:I rebuilt the ones on my Fiero, the only difficult part was getting the rubber boot back on around the piston.

Even if critical surfaces ARE pitted, comparing to a $415 caliper makes hard-chroming and re-honing your current parts a viable alternative.
Re: Who knows their old Webers?
The ebrake ratcheting mechanism in the rear brakes would be nice to service. I was told its non-servicable, though the rebuild calipers I bought were all defects because that portion had been disassembled then re-installed incorrectly.
May be a non-issue altogether with that car though.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
The head cracked on the original block and the motor seized up. I have a spare 3.0 head. I bought a complete spare running motor, a spare 4speed getrag, and the webers. Plan was to get the car on the road on the 3.0 with the webers, so 181HP haha. I do not want to EFI it, if I did, I'd buy a 635 and be done with it. What I would consider is the 3.5L block with my spare SOHC 3.0L head, shrick cam, bavarian auto header, and some sort of exhaust. I only want to do a period correct tuner. Car already has some very 70s gold and silver Alpina esque wheels, not sure if they are real.The Dark Side of Will wrote:ABSOLUTELY.

There is a perfect 3.0CS that keeps not selling on ebay for $16,850, its a different color respray and vinyl interior change, but its immaculate, and it won't sell. These cars aren't really worth the world, so this will be a low cost resto, no point in sinking $50k into a $15k car. May as well spend $5k and drive it.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
The BMW world is just a little different. When I was looking into turboing the 535, I asked how high the M30 could be revved. Somebody replied "It's not really a high revving engine. You shouldn't need to go over 6800 under any circumstances". I LOL'd.

Re: Who knows their old Webers?
Maybe I am not missing anything?
So no one has called to say the motor is in yet, its been over a week and it was less than a day away by car. A little worried. Plan is to do a compression test, pull the valve cover, pull the pan, scrape the sludge, inspect the bearings, new pan and valve cover gasket, and call it a day.
