some wiring and coolant questions

[wobbie]

So im trying to figure out where some wires go.
1. Where does the positive wire off the alternator go to, does it go to the same place as the positive going to the starter solenoid?
2. Where do these 2 wires go, there coming out of the fuse box?

3. What are you guys using for the passenger side coolant hose for a m42 radiator?

1. Where does the positive wire off the alternator go to, does it go to the same place as the positive going to the starter solenoid?
That is how mine is connected and it works great.

2. Where do these 2 wires go, there coming out of the fuse box?
I believe those go to the power distribution on the passenger side of the car. Should both be 12v pos.

A little searching will get you additional info. These seem to be common 24v swap questions.

Good luck!

So i put the stock exhaust manifold on tonight and the front manifold looks like there is now way to put another flange one it. Is there something im missing?

I think I've heard the m3 manifolds give you better clearence otherwise a bit of pipe masaging will be needed to fit downpipes on.

if you want to use stock shorty manifolds you need the e34 525i ones

Most use ebay SS reps for exhaust

3. Use the 525i hose and trim it to fit.
