Alright, I was changing the spark plugs today, and I discovered some very depressing news. The swapped E30 I bought half a year ago has some bad oil problems. There was a puddle of oil in the spark plug hole, and the plugs were soaked in oil.
So, needless to say, I was looking for a reason to get rid of the M50 and get a little more kick from an S50.
My question is (I have done some research about swaps, but I could definitely have more knowledge on the subject) what do I need to do in order to swap an S50 into my E30.
Some info on the car.
- Wiring was all done by the PO, and he did a good job, but it isnt done with a simple connector some members make, and I am not confident with wiring.
- Has the M5 motor mounts, and the appropriate oil pan to make it work.
- E21 brake booster
- E36 transmission mated to the M50
It has all the things done to it in order to make the M50 work.
If you have any questions or need more info please feel free to ask.
So, can anyone give me a list, or point me in the right direction to find a list of items I am going to need? The E30 wants to step up and run with the big boys.
TIA
