    Round 2! Fight!

    So this is a motor swap I'm documenting for koole30. He's a new member on this board and I'm doing a swap for him. Long story short, he bought a car sight unseen (yea we know not the best method) and it turned from an "overheated" motor to a "seized motor". So we decided there's only one way to go. An s52b32 obd1 swap. =) The rest is history.
    I'll let some pictures do the talking.







    After all the washing and getting out most of the sludge from the motor and caked on dirt/grease I got to this point. Obviously under all that dirt the paint within the engine bay isn't the best. Pretty sure some paint could fix that. :p



    In all honesty the car is in rough shape as far as drive-train goes but definitely salvageable.

    So far we've got:

    - motor mounts (e28 )
    - transmission mounts (e21)
    - I have a spare e34 oil pan/pick up/dipstick I will be using but I need to get the crack welded.
    - obd1 conversion s52b32 being delivered this very night.

    Things we still need:

    - e32 booster/reservoir
    - Transmission brace (was missing when he bought the car)
    - e34 throttle cable
    - Wiring adapter (I will be making it of course)
    - drive-shaft (328i manual/m3 4bolt rear end)
    - New guibo and CSB
    - exhaust setup

    I'll update this more when I get more progress. For now, I'll take pictures when the motor gets here later tonight.

    Jasper - what kind of e32 booster/mc can you use? I am pretty sure there is more than one kind.

    I pulled one from an e32 or e34 car before, and you can't use a stock e30 cylinder with it obviously.
    I wanted to use it in my car, but haven't found a non-abs MC that would work with that booster...

      Ah. I see what you're asking. You're looking for a m/c that fits the booster without the extra line? (you need 2 holes as opposed to 3) What I've heard is people use a metal cap and cap the extra one off. So basically they get the complete e32 brake booster and master cylinder and cap 1 of the 3 feeds for the brake lines. Hopefully I'm answering your question. Its been a long day.

          For my swap I used an e32 brake booster/mc and reservoir. For koole30's I will be using the same setup.

              Sounds good. I'm still waiting for him to head out here. Johnny ended up getting caught up at work at didn't want to travel during traffic. So I'll snap pictures when it gets here!

                Would you mind sharing how much you picked up the motor for?

                Might as well grab an E36 steering rack while everything is out!

                  Am I reading this right? I have e34x2 parts cars, can I use a booster and MC for an S52 swap?

                  This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.

                    You would have to ask koole30 about the price. That is his own personal information. It is not my car so I can't say. Sorry. One thing I can say is that the motor has 17k original miles. :D

                    It depends what model the e34 was. e34 540i's came with the double stack (ix) brake boosters with 25mm master cylinders. And yes, these are the ones you can use for m5X/s5X motor swaps.

                      Well got the motor in tonight at around 12:35am. Not as perfect as I'd like but that's what I'm here for.





                      All I gotta say is that the motor and transmission look pretty damn good since they haven't been cleaned in 12 years.

                          And there in lies why this swap becomes so exspensive. I've had everything to do my swap for a couple of weeks but the "while I'm in there" list is kicking my ass.

                              Came from a 1998 M3. The motor looks good though. Which is why we got it. =)

                              Gonna start cleaning things up and get it assembled correctly.
