    Can you double check my swap parts list?

    After research I've gathered what I think I would need for the swap. I've made a list of general parts to swap in an m50tub25. I also intend to use the g260 and purchase a readymade bracket and bend the metal arm for the shifter. In the lists I will not include engine refresh parts (I intend to completely rebuild the engine).

    1. m20 lightweight flywheel from RHD engineering - http://racehead.com.au/products-page...ng-flywheel-2/

    2. e34 525 oil pan

    3. e34 oil pickup tube

    4. e34 oil dipstick

    5. e36 engine harness (manual transmission) with a harness adapter such as: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bmw-E30-Engi...25.m3641.l6368

    6. 413 red label dme

    7. 318i dme mounting brackets

    8. m20 clutch kit - http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/-p-1...a0QaApwP8P8HAQ

    9. brake booster - I'd simply move mine over a bit to the right (if you're looking at it from the front of the engine bay)

    10. Brown top coolant temperature sensor: http://wot-tech.com/shop/bmw/m20-mod.../prod_356.html

    11. E34 525 throttle cable

    12. Stock e36 325 maf

    13. Ebay ss knockoff header with the pre-cat o2 sensor (but I believe there never was a post-cat on the m50tu's, right? or am I wrong?) I'd custom fab the rest of the exhaust after that or modify the 325 exhaust.

    14. e36 radiator hoses

    15. condor speed shop engine mounts - http://www.condorspeedshop.com/produ...mount-set-uhmw

    16. transmission mount brace - http://store.garagistic.com/ocart/ge...smission-brace


    I think I could just have a shop or myself make some ac line adapters so I can have ac (a must). I'm not quite sure about power steering though as I haven't found any clear answers after searching. Also, with the transmission mount brace, what actual mounts should I use? Also, can I install the 540 (or 740, I forget) maf without any additional ecu modification?

    I also intend to install the turner chip, install coated main and rod bearings, new chain tensioners, vanos rebuild, etc.

    I'd appreciate it if you could answer any of the questions above, and feel free to comment with suggestions or anything else.

      Nice list. I just picked up a91 525 so that I can also do this same swap. Most lists recommend a pusher fan? Maybe it's just an option but look into it.. Good luck with the swap

        What kind of cooking fan are you going to run? Puller or pusher works. You can remove the wiring harness from your aux fan (a/c fan) and wire a high volume cooling fan in its place and run a slightly lower coolant temp switch (the one in the radiator- switch not sensor), I am running this setup with 16" spal pusher and am Having great results.

        E21 trans mounts

        Don't know about tu o2's

        MAF's generally require software, I know 540 def does

        Make sure you get an ews delete chip for your 413 even if it's red label

        Dump the ac and get a dash fan, yo

        Cheers

          Spal electric pusher was the plan, accidentally left that out, okay to the ews and maf stuff, and lol no not in south florida where it's 90 degrees and 80% humidity.
