Sorry to see your car go. Glad no one was hurt.

Glad your okay.

And how in the world did you get a z3 for free?

So much hate

The way it worked out is that a friend of mine is doing a swap and only picked up a z3 for the motor / tranny.

I traded him my OBD1 Setup (Complete with almost new sensors), oil pan, booster, and all the other goodies required for the e30 swap.

He gave me a Z3, an OBD2 Z3 harness, Sensors, and some other goodies.

The rear subframe needs some welding. But that is well within my skill level of fabricating. So I ended up with this "free" Z3.

We all know, nothing in life is free. Even free puppies.


So I am paving the way on converting an S50 to run OBD2 and making another fun car.


I still have to do the big chart of plus and minus to see how it works out but we both get what we need in the end.

Why convert the s50 to run obd2?

[Dominic49]

what are you going to do to convert the crank sensor (VR) to a Hall signal for the ecu?

Why convert the s50 to run obd2?

The Z3 is a 98. So I have to meet OBD2 emission standards (O2 Pump, OBD2 Headers, ECU)

I have my S50 which is in perfect leak free condition. I would hate to have to go find another motor because of some small emissions stuff.

I am going to run a hall sensor on the OBD1 wheel (Hoveringuy [HG] uses a VR sensor on the OBD2 wheel) Both are 60-2, one is large, one is small. HG is running OBD1 on his OBD2 wheel, I am going for the reverse compatible.

I am using this adapter on the intake. I am keeping all emissions equipment.

I actually have found some other conditioner boards also that I really like for the application. If I have to run a VR to HALL I will check out both of those suggestions. But for now I am going to try and use the M54 Hall sensor (Which is the current cranksensor) with a spacer.
