yours such a tease kyle

gotKRAUT · 01-31-2009, 11:22 PM

jumped the #12 pin to positive and i drove the car home yesterday...ghetto but it worked, identified another issue....the Eta fuel pump is just not enough...the engine runs good till its been running for a while then the fuel pump starts to cut out at like 4krpms and when paired with a 1:1 5th gear and a 3:23:1 diff that makes for a 75mph top speed

either way...pending the proper wiring harness, new fuel pump and a new o ring on the water pump and some prettifying of the engine bay its done..looking for some OBDI non M engine covers if anyone has some really good condition ones...

AlpineSixAndSeven · 01-31-2009, 11:37 PM

Nice M50 swap Kyle. Sounds like a long PITA project, but well worth it in the end.

Are you gonna swap out the differential for more top speed? You want to at least be able to hit 100mph!
