    m20 drivetrain

    does anyone have a full m20 drivetrain that maybe they pulled out of a car they were swaping? i have a 318i in great shape but since it is a 318 it has no balls, in need of some more power please help.

    I've got a M20 from a 90is, I pulled it for my swap.

    She's sitting on a pallet waiting for a good home.

    135K, I swapped the timing belt 3K ago. (which was 4 yrs ago since its only a toy for me)

    Shoot me an email at lesherj@ntcna.nissan-usa.com and we can talk.

    I see your in Penn, I live in MI and will be at Nelson Ledges for the NASA HPDE this weekend. If needed I could bring the engine with me.

      Contact JHower08 on here. He has a 112k m20 with all new maintenance stuff. He has a 3.73 LSD too. I think I have an extra driveshaft, and may have a transmission. We got what ya need. Where in PA are you? We are in southeastern PA, near Lancaster.

          i just did this BTW. its fairly simple, wiring guide in the m10 or m20 room.

          Only odd things you will need:
          - PS lines are different
          - Shift arm bracket [metal stamped dealie] will need to be from a 325
          - DS are different lengths

            Does the m20 bolt to the stock 318i front subframe? What motor mounts are used? The transmission cross member bolts up? What trans mounts are used? What specific driveshaft is used?
