DASC Differences, intake differences

[m44lee]

another question on differences is!...
i know a guy on another forum who brought the last dasc for his m42
i've been giving him what advise i could having fitted mine to a m44 engine
but today he had a problem fitting the idler pulleys

see heres my m44 idlers



but heres what happened with his today








so can anyone that has fitted the dasc to a m42'd engine advise on this matter as he's stumped at the mo!

Nice one posting up here mate! I'm sure someone will know the answer. It's either new idler pulley bracket or I need the alternator bracket and power steering pump from the M44 AFAIK. Although I'd love to hear other suggestions!

If you flip the bracket (would need to weld the bung on the other side), would that make up for the difference?

I will check and see but I think that is an M44 bracket mounted to an M42 motor right? If so then you need the other bracket. I will check for you if you clarify the mix of parts and motor that your trying to fit.

Spot on mate. That's my car above and it is an M42. After looking on realoem and cross referencing parts it was discovered it was an M44 bracket.

Yeah mate! Best place for 4 pot info, and DASC info. DC12 is the aim, and definitely pictures as well! I may have something worked out before a new bracket arrives.

Looks different to my M44 bracket, as it has three small holes on the LHS, although I know they changed the design. Wouldn't be too hard to make up your own bracket, and no need for a welded bung, just drill a hole in it and use a couple of spacers. Just make sure everything is square as otherwise the belt will slip off all the time!

Can someone tell me the differences between a 318 and a Z3 (both M44) DASC kits?

I know intake elbow is different, anything else?
I'm trying to buy a 318 DASC kit and fit it in my 1997 M44 Z3 with ASC

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply buddy. I'm test fitting the M44 parts later on as DA have basically said because they don't make the kit anymore there isn't a great deal they can do. Hopefully after swapping the alternator bracket, alternator and power steering pump over everything should line up.

Iirc the only difference is the intake elbow because the battery isn't in the way on a Z3 but is in the way on an E36. Someone on another forum bought a kit from a Z3 for his 318is and had to relocate the battery into the boot. Doing it the other way around *should* be fine though.
