This is a video of my bmw s38b36 which I am restoring in preparation for engine swapping into an e30 touring.
I have completely restored the air intake plenum of the s38b36, showing the process step by step.
Steps include:
Strip down
Arrange hardware
Degrease/clean components
Zinc plate process
Mask and spray
Reassembly
Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask in the comments

Was wondering where the 4 cables connect just outside the ecu and the thin white pipe that com from bottom then front of the engine under the throttle body it’s tiny thin plastic white pipe, wrapped with black strip…cheers

Great work! Didn't realize how different this plenum is to my e28 s38. e28 plenums are made of one piece and way less parts!!

Absolutely brilliant.

This was one of my favourites! Unfortunately, due to size constraints the my e30 engine bay, it doesn't fit without some questionable modifications. I've sold it on now, going down a different route!

@jameshay469 3 жыл бұрын

That's a shame, some great work had gone into it. I assume you're keeping the throttle bodies, could get some sort of filter for those?

@BadE30 3 жыл бұрын

yes keeping the throttle bodies! Going for either velocity stacks (like the m88 procar engine) or a custom carbon intake (like the s54 e46 m3 engine)

@jameshay469 3 жыл бұрын

I'd go for the stacks myself!

@@jameshay469 that’s plan A. Have a bad feeling they’re going to foul the bonnet. But that’s something to worry about in the future

@garydrawson7709 3 жыл бұрын

Well done! nice to see that level of detail. Can I ask how many hours of work that was? and are you interested in doing another?

@BadE30 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your kind words!! I honestly don’t know how many hours, definitely too many to make it economically viable. But I am interested in doing it again as it was very enjoyable, and now that I know exactly what to do, I’m sure I’ll be faster!

Hello. Do you remember the torque settings for the nut on the shaft for the Butterfly valve? If i tight it hard the Butterfly valve seem to bind a bit.. Thank you

@BadE30 Жыл бұрын

The nut should be a locking nut where it can be tightened just enough to hold the valve in place where it is free to move. I did not torque mine, just went until it was binding, and then turned it back til free again

Lovely work, I’ll bet that part wasn’t resprayed in the past. I’d guess the runs were from the cosmoline applied at the factory. What was the part number on the bearings? Maybe you had that in the link of the other itb video but I’m too lazy to check...

@BadE30 3 жыл бұрын

That could of been true yes! I used HKS08122RS for both this intake and my itb's, these are the exact dimensions and double sealed.
