I didnt "bitch and moan" about having a difficult time. I simply commented on how unorganized some, but not all, of the information is. Also, Im not going to create 'just' a parts list. It will more like the comprehensive swap thread.

But thank you for your support! :down:

You're going to create a "comprehensive thread"? On what, how you go about your swap? Congrats, now someone with the exact same engine, chassis, budget, priorities, and parts availability will be able to read your info. And then in 3 months when it's outdated due to newer, cheaper, better fitting parts, you can steer them in the wrong direction. That's what you're missing, there is no one way to do this, every single part has pros and cons and it all depends on several other variables, that you can only figure out with a thorough understanding of this swap. The fact that you don't know what a 413 ECU is for, and don't know that you need a vanos harness for a vanos engine shows that you have NO understanding of ANYTHING regarding this swap.

The comprehensive DOHC engine swap thread.

Look, someone already did that. A "comprehensive thread". See what happens? People realize there's better ways to do things and discuss it. You read the discussion, get free info that would normally cost much more, and there's your free ride. But that's not good enough for you.

So I got annoyed of searching and made this thread. Doesnt mean Im a "typical dumbass teenager" or a "fucking smart ass" Never did I contradict anyones information. When you were a senior in high school, did you do an engine swap on your own? I highly doubt it. But regardless of what I actually said and what you thought I said, I KNOW that I will be able to do this engine swap on my own. Without paying anyone for information or having to take my car to a shop, all while going to school and work everyday from 7-5.


:finger:

Shut up about your entrepreneur bullshit. I worked 50+ hours a week, on call for 70+ hours, while being a full student, commuting 1+ hours to school, and I did not only my own engine swaps, but engine swaps for my friends. All self taught (actually, learned by SEARCHING the forums for other generous members helpful info).

And so did many many other people on this board. You aren't doing anything incredible. Nobody cares what you've accomplished in your life. You're still living at home, while owning e46's and engine swapping e30's, I'd say you actually have nothing to brag about.





This country is going to shit.

I feel like on every BMW forum, the users like to gang up on the "noobs" and be internet assholes. Haha looks like r3v is no different.

It said "noobie" underneath my user name when I posted that my S52 wouldn't start. No one ganged up on me, they helped me. R3v is a great forum. I spend most of my time in the 24V section and there are varied responses to peoples requests, but that is usually because of the way in which the person asks their question.

Thank you, new(er) useful contributing member!

Another spoiled rich kid wants to pay someone to do his swap for him, but claim he did it himself. I'll be the first to post this

You have clearly done a considerable amount of prep on your swap which is to be commended. (your problem still leaves me stumped..)

There is a big difference between changing a set of wheels and changing an engine. I'm not saying that you won't be able to do the swap, but this thread would indicate that you won't.

Yep if you start a thread for help before you even start the swap. Chances of success are slim

R3V should become its own soap opera.

Hmm, I was 18 when I started and completed my first swap. I didn't know a damn thing about automobiles but now, I'm slightly more inclined to know what the hell people are talking about. This forum, despite all the rage on deflowering noobs like young Polynesian virgins, has taught me damn near everything I know. I've committed my fair share of mistakes (running from California's finest), but I still did what I needed to do.

OP, quit typing and start researching.
