Not another E30 M52 swap

[4DR_Lou]

Did some cleaning today... I plan to build a DIY hot tank this coming weekend to clean the oil filter housing and other parts I hope it works

[4DR_Lou]

Also got this today, locally for $120.. Only one small crack :)

I recently received my mint engine and trans mounts from r3v member tally159.. Great seller, fast shipper... Thank you!

To do list:
Send out ECU to have EWS deleted
Engine and Trans refresh
M52 engine wiring to E30 chassis wiring
5lug swap
Sort out AC... Must have AC :hitler:

Cleaned up the ZF real good



My current struggle lol

Started looking at the e36 m52 engine harness. note: Left plug is the X20 and the right plug is the X6031



So far... I still need to confirm the wiring layout.. and more to add... I will keep EWS too.

Saw this a couple of days ago... I'm more honored than jealous to see one :D

So I went to get the ccv tube welded to the e34 dipstick tube....
it turned out like shit considering it was done by a muffler shop!
i also found a pin hole in the welds... this "professional" welder dude also messed up the area where the O-ring sits(see pic).

I need a replacement e34 dipstick tube. Please let me know if you guys have an extra to sell.

E34 dipstick will catch on that hole, I got better solution to this:

[4DR_Lou]

Good idea, Desert. :D Thank you!!!

Improvising from your solution... How about drilling a hole and fit in a through wall-fitting instead of JB weld ;D .. I should have done it!

update.

I received some electrical pins and m20b25 pin housing from TMS, yesterday.... FYI, TMS orders from the dealership then ships you the goodies... I could have just gone through the BMW dealership near me.. Only if I knew.



This is all I got done yesterday.. Pulled the Activated Carbon Canister from the trunk and Fuel Pressure Sensor from the passenger side wheel well.

got a new toy :giggle:

The weather has gotten warmer! It's time to continue this prolonged project

I have also been shopping around for a clutch/flywheel setup. So far, I'm sold to UUC's product SKU:B1-A-OE. Any other suggestions?
