+1 to painful arms when they're under petrol for a while... Mine were burning like crazy!

That said I had started a bunch of engine mods and forgot that I shouldn't have had a full tank of fuel. Mine was literally about 80% full.... Mistake!

I was putting in a Bosch 040 into my R33 and the screw clamp I put around it was bulging out a bit in the wrong direction... Took me ages of arm immersion time to figure it out... Ouchies! yucky.gif

done it again tonight...i can still drive it its just got no guts, the turbo carries the car along...its sounds like a flooded motor...just a deep missing sound...thing is sometimes when i rev the shit out of it as i up the revs it corrects it and the car goes properly then when i take my foot off it does it again....i pulled the bonnet up and the motor sounds fine...it sounds like the exhaust...i am lost...i might have to take it to someone to get it looked at...only does it sometimes...

Take it to a dyno, give the operator ~$80 to throw it on a dyno, check your boost, check your power, check your afr and potentially find the problem for you.

More often than not a failing afm causes starting and stalling issues with the car.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
