There are 3 different pin sizes, I got them listed in my thread here.

I use these ones.

61-13-1-376-195 paid 8.80 for 10 of them.
61-31-1-376-193 paid 18.80 for 20 of them.
The c101 plug is like 4.00 or something and the boot is like 1.50

Looks great man, nice work. Everything is nice and clean just the way I like it.
Why didnt you wire the E30 C101 into the harness so it is direct plug and play? The pins are cheap at the dealer and you can buy the pin tool at radio shack.
Just and FYI for your next swap.

You mean this pin tool?



I will eventually one day buy the pins from the dealer. Is 61-13-1-376-191 the actual part number?

Finished making koole30's wiring adapter. Looks x10 better than mine sadly enough.



Tested it on my car. Works great, exact replica of mine from my car. Used a easy wrap to wrap the wires. Removed all unused pins and wires.

Looking good... my M52 is almost done too. You get that thing in the car yet?

What? :p




Connected most coolant lines. Actually need to have koole30 buy e36 radiator hoses as the motor did not come with them (given). Have some of you used stock e30 radiator hoses?

Anyways, I finished customized the e30 power steering lines, custom made a bracket for the power steering reservoir as there was none on the motor mount. Also spent a very long time trying to get most of the gunk out of the coolant lines and coolant reservoir as the prior engine was overheated. Actually currently working on the wiring harness adapter. Should be done by tonight.

Anyone local have a late model e30 manual transmission brace for sale?

That is exactly what I wanted to say! Are you sourcing everything from junkyards or you finding stuff from forum members (bfc included)?

I work at a moderate pace. In all honesty I'm behind schedule because of the weather. I've had most of small stuff from accumulating motor parts. (I did buy a shitty s50b30 us and then bought a s52) But as far as the obd1 parts. They were part of the package deal I got on the motor for koole30. Pretty much all the obd1 parts was on the motor.

Still quite of few stuff missing but pretty sure when koole30 sees it in person he'll buy the necessary stuff that it needs to get her too drivable conditions (hoses and what not).

Good news is, I put the wiring harness on and got the intake manifold ready to slap on. Just got to toss the motor in. Hopefully I could find a late model e30 manual transmission brace so we could mount the transmission. I guess for now I'll let it be support with my jack when I toss it in.

Pft...I thought you'd be done already Jasper, quit laggin it! :roll:

LOL jk. Good work mang, keep it up!

[jahnaboi]

Well, customized the obd1 wiring harness bracket, put the flywheel/clutch/pp on, put the transmission/fork/slave cylinder on.

Things that need to be done before I throw the motor in the engine bay:

- Weld obd2 manifolds for obd1 application
- Connect wiring harness + vacuum lines
- Find a e36 power steering reservoir bracket

Still quite a few stuff to get (ahem koole30) but she should be up and running very soon.

Nice! Stoked to see how this turns out, looks to be going very smoothly so far.

[jahnaboi]

Haven't updated in a while because not much work was done due to this weather. But I'm full steam ahead with minimal parts need to have a complete finished car. I will be slapping the motor and wiring harness together and putting it in tonight. Still missing the manual transmission brace for a late model e30. If anyone local has one I could have or possibly buy for cheap please let me know. No late model 5 speed e30s in the junkyards so let me know! On to the pictures.

E34 Oil Pan on.


NGK Platinum Spark plugs and coil bolted down


Customized e30 temp sensor. Shaved down and threaded to fit into coolant feed hole in s52 head.


E32 Double stack booster + Master Cylinder + E34 M50 Throttle Cable Installed. Still need to buy brake line hoses and nipples to make the remote reservoir and possibly the 2002 reservoir.


That's all for right now. Will update later tonight.
