Question about the wiring.

I'm looking at the schematic and I see a "C101". Like this:



Then when I'm looking at the M50 diagram I see an "X20" under the same topic. (charging)



So, does this mean that those two wires have to be spliced together?

I take it we're trying to retain the plug and not hack up the body harness? Like this:

[Aptyp]

don't know if this was ever added:

Wiki says that 944 booster has a 10mm shaft, but it's actually 12mm and has to be modified just like e21 ones.

[Aptyp]

Point me in the right direction. There's an extra plug next to x20 plug (ABS?). Can I remove it?

i just bought the akg ecu wiring harness to make things easier and cleaner since im not good at electrical. i do have a question though, i was told if you are doing a s50 swap you dont really need a new booster, you can just move your stock booster over to the right a little more... is this true???? because i only heard it from one person.

Who wouldn't rather have a zf?

Some can't afford it. Others just like the g260 better.

Personal preference, i think. Just wondering why you're going with the zf

Somebody please answer this question! When doing. S50 /zf swap, is it easier to use e36 m3 drive shaft or stock e30 driveshaft?

You have to use the drive shaft that matches the transmission.

Please use the search function.

Any reason you're going with the zf and not a g260?

Yea, just post here, if you have more questions i suppose

OK! one more question!
I've almost finished my wiring......except for 2 things. I used the wiring breakdown someone posted on this site, VERY HELPFUL! It lists 85-84 325i. However my car was a 318i, but it seems to be almost identical.
Anyway, I'm not using the connector from the E36 harness....cause I dont have the body side of the connector.
Everything seems to be fairly easy to understand BUT.....

1- On my 318 harness, I have 2 separate wires for the fuel pump, and the O2 sensor relay.......on the new E36 harness, they're both on the same wire and relay. Do you guys just run the two off the same wire on the new harness?

2- My old 318, had one wire for the "coolant temp sender". The new E36 harness has 2, one for the "engine temp" and one for "Engine coolant temp" so..........

Any help would be great....even a link
Thanks

M10 or M42?
Hick posted this form an m10 -m20 swap a while ago...
Pin Number - Rectangular C101 -- Round C101 - Pin Number

*There are TWO Blue/White wires on the Rectangular C101 Plug. The smaller gauge wire is to pin 17.*
**Pin 16 on the Round C101 plug is not used**

"325i" doesn't specify e30 or e36. If e30, yes, it needs cut down to clear the pan.

Extraordinarily helpful thread!

One question though that I didn't see in the first link; I'm going to be using a motor from a 92 525i, so the oil pan etc is all taken care of already. Do I need to modify my flywheel at all if I plan on using my 325i transmission/clutch?
