BMW E36 M3 Evo
Discussion
Started the "Dual Fuel Pump" Mod today.
My plan is to have the right hand pump supplying the engine (as standard) but fit a second pump on the left hand side to transfer fuel from left to right.
I have modified the right hand pump assembly to allow an inlet as well as the pump discharge.
I have purchased a second pump and assembly which has also been modified now to take the return from the engine and a pump discharge over to the right hand side
I have spurred of the power supply to the original pump but am yet to decide how to connect as I don't have a spare BMW plug.
Possibly solder it but we will see....

They have been really good and transformed the on track ability of the car.
It's a bit hard on the road but assume you could choose a less stiff setup.
I usually have the dampers fully hard for the track and softest for the road.
I don't have any experiance with other types as this is my first modified car. I think from the reviews I have read that the HSD are really good for the price.

Apart from putting the road wheels back on and touching up the front callipers with a bit of red paint, work on the M3 has come to a halt.
The fuel pumps seem to be working ok...
in other news...
Just had the E46 Dog Chariot detailed.
Think it looks fab!
Having a bit of a clear out in the garage too. It's coming along well I think.
Need to get something on the floor but not sure what to use...

15mm Hubcentric Spacers
I also have a spare front wheel from the M3 and a tyre that will fit it
Probably a silly question, but I presume these are E36 fitment? If so, how much do you want and I'll have dibs on them, as I believe you need 10-15mm spacers for HSDs(?), which is what I plan on getting soon.I also have a spare front wheel from the M3 and a tyre that will fit it

I just put them on eBay but will take them off for £20 (inc postage). PM me if interested

As for updates...
I have just washed it and tucked it it under the cover with the trickle charger on as I have to go back to work next week
(ten weeks sailing around the Med)
The rear track wheels have been separated from the tyres and I have purchased another batch of paint ready for the refirb.
Took this picture during a wheel & tyre sort out....

Small update:
Just booked a Javelin day at Anglesey in August!
This obviously means I have to get some new stuff...
Rear tyres:
I will blast and then paint the rims Porsche Signal Green to match the front.
I have also purchased some more fuel pipe and fittings to adapt the twin fuel pumps to supply from both sides (what I should have done in the first place)

Have you got a parts list for the twin pumps?
Alright mate, hope all is well!I have done this is stages over a few months so I will try to remember...
This is what I have used...
8mm fuel hose (about 2,5 meters)
8mm "Y" fittings http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/race/fuel-unions-fi...
a BMW E36 M3 Evo Fuel Pump (I got a 2nd hand one from eBay)
a BMW 318is E36 Fuel Sender unit - which I fitted the E36 M3 Evo pump to (again from eBay)
Hose Joiners - which I epoxy'd in to the fuel pump/sender units for the return hose http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/race/fuel-unions-fi...
8mm hose clamps
This is my original pump (from the drivers side). I drilled a hole and then glued the fitting in for the return hose.
This is the fuel pump and sender unit from a 318 that I fitted the Evo pump to
It looks like there already is a return hose fitting but that is just a blank.
So, this is the drivers side where the pump discharges in to the Y fitting along with the discharge from the other side
The return hose is connected to my glued in fitting.
This is the passenger side
