Help with 24v swap

[I*Do*Werke]

for $20 or $50, i'd rather clean bolt threads than type all my research out

Ok ill send you $50, you type out all your research, and Ill clean those darn bolt threads for you ;)

It sounds to me like you may not have a budget appropriate to complete the swap.

Exact opposite my friend. I have ample amounts of money for my swap, thats why I am willing to pay for information

My customers pay for information every time they pay me to do their swaps. $50 couldn't inspire me to write an estimate for you, much less complete detailed instructions and a parts list. You need to look into the Project Orca CD-rom from Zionsville. For $100 it's as close as your going to get to what your asking for.

No offense, but I wouldn't take the time to write all that out for $200. I could write over 100 pages and still not cover everything. It's all written over and over again in these forums though.

I have a sticky thread at the top the step by step tells you how to read and figure out the schematics for your wiring. There are more booster threads then you can count. The auto to manual swap is detailed many times.

Not to mention I went over OBD 1 and 2 and EWS in his sticky 3rd from top........

LOL, should have quoted your BS request. I feel bad we didn't, or did we?

What other OBD1 parts do I need for the swap?

I have searched and found many OBD1 parts lists but I want to have a 100% complete list because I have ONE WEEK to complete my M52 swap into my 325is. Meaning, I have to have every part together so I wont get held up waiting for more parts to ship. If you help me organize a good list, I will paypal you $20 as long as it is a 100% complete list with EVERYTHING I need to complete the swap from OBD2 to OBD1.

Also, if you help me with other parts of the swap; non OBD1 related such as: motor mounts, brake booster, transmission, etc. I will also pay you.

SO if you answer all my OBD1 questions I will give you $20 via paypal (or more depending on how complete the answer is)
also, I will create a new thread listing the complete parts needed for the M52 swap to help out the R3V community.
AND if you answer my other questions regarding general swap parts and methods, I will also pay you.

Bottom line, show me some interest and be helpful and Ill send you money depending on how well you help me up to $50. Im feeling generous to anyone who will help me with this swap. One more thing, if you PM me, that increases your 'helpfulness'

Thanks,
Peter

Just to make sure others who view this thread really know what was going on.

I have been searching for over a month now. Dont worry, I know a lot of stuff about the swap. I just dont have the time to search for the fine details that are overlooked in the sticked threads.

You didn't even know that you need a vanos harness for an m52, or that a 413 red label DME was a vanos ECU. That's the basics. If you don't know that stuff, what exactly do you know?

Just admit, you don't know how to do the swap, you haven't searched, and you want someone to do it for you. Then we can tell you it will cost way more then $50. You should be thrilled that the info is free and all you have to do is click a few buttons. But no, you want someone to spoon feed it to you, for an incredibly small amount of cash, all while claiming that you know what you're doing.

haha ok maybe youre right and maybe youre wrong. I wasnt asking for the basics, I just wanted to know some more in detailed stuff. I made this thread after I searched for over 4 hours today and still didnt find any GOOD information. But dont you worry, Ill get the swap done in one week, without paying someone for a complete list. Hey, Ill even start a nice thread with a complete list of everything I needed for my m52 swap. And not because I like you guys, but because the downfall of R3V is the user group; important information is not easily accessible without hours upon hours of searching. And the best part? Im only 18 and have never had any type of automotive education, nor have I been taught by my parents or anyone else with automotive experience. I learned everything I know by just doing it myself since I was 16 with my first BMW (which happened to be an e46 with all the fun problems of that model, that I all fixed myself)

So call me what you want, but I know what Im good at and that is working on BMWs. And just for fun, Ill attach some pictures of before and after of my e46... Oh and dont forget, I was 16-17 when I had this car and payed for everything myself. I think Ill be just fine when it comes to working on my e30, too. :ohsnap:

Yup, thats me!

[bloodshot-e30]

lmfao at this thread....
i cant wait to see how this thing runs....

$100 says my fucked up M52 runs better than his and ill leave my knock sensors un bolted.

[e30s52]

O cute another e46 with CSL rep wheels.

[devon.818]

Yup, thats me!

just curious, did you pay ANYONE?
i think all the people that commented thus far deserve ATLEAST a 10$.

O cute another e46 with CSL rep wheels.

Yeah, what exactly did you intend to show us with those pics?

Beginning of May, check the showroom thread and see how my car is doing.

Reps? No, theyre VMR V710. Not a rep of any BMW rim and actually quite popular in the 5 lug world. I bought my complete M52 and ZF trans with the money I got from selling those rims ;)

That his parents can buy him e46 with some knock off wheels? I really have no clue other then that.
