Post Your M/S5X 24V Swap Setup

That relocated late model coolant reservoir is absolute money. Did you have to fab mounting points or is there an easier way? Where do you run the lines?

Yeah some angled aluminum and the original black tab thingy?? holds it down. The aluminum is fastened to the battery tray. The hose runs behind the engine, over the trans bell housing. The overflow runs through the wiper/blower motor area. Just some rubber hose wrapped in fire sleeve.

6. Brake Booster- stock, bone stock. Not even moved. Clearance is tight, about 1/4in but it doesn't hit it so why bother?

7. Steering System- E30 rack with condor PS delete plate.

8. Cooling System- M42 radiator, new thermostat and 80C aux fan switch. Will be running a spal pusher eventually

9. Exhaust System- OBD-1 headers to E36 y-pipe. Had my existing exhaust trimmed and bent to meet the y-pipe. Super super simple. New bosch 02 sensor.

Just a quick update. 18K miles later and all I've done is a belt tensioner, new coils/plugs and oil changes. Still loving the car! Thinking about looking into an S50 for next year though or a low boost turbo.

[sweet3]

1. Engine
S52B32: full conversion over to OBDI (includes coils, fuel rail, manifold, throttle body, etc). I had the water pipe on the side of the head tapped for the cluster temp sensor.
Stock s52 cams (intake/exhaust)
Custom intake seat and intake valve job for increased flow
24lb injectors
3" stock MAF
K&N 9in filter
e34 oil pan with stock baffle

2. Engine Wiring
S50 harness
Re-wired the c101 connector to match the harness (I chose this method because the x20 has more locations for connectors if I need one day).
Also, re-wired the harness for the cluster temp and the ecu temp sensor.

3. Drivetrain
ZF 32x (Cant remember the exact number...its the typical ZF from the e36 m3).
Stock m3 flywheel
Stock m3 pressure plate and clutch disc
E36 m3 clutch slave cylinder
E30 325i clutch master cylinder
E30 UUC Stainless Steel Clutch hose
Stock m20 transmission mount
Manual e30 driveshaft with E30 CSB (Large guibo drive shaft)
3.73 LSD (For now)

4. Shift Lever and Linkage
Stock ZF shifter and selector rod
E30 leather shift knob

5. Motor Mounts
E28 Green Heavy Duty motor mounts

6. Brake Booster, Master Cylinder, and External Reservoir
E30 booster (Shifted over 1/2 in with a modified clevis)
E30 master cylinder with stock reservoir
Shaved the last 3 intake manifold fins off for a little extra clearance.
E10 booster check valve

7. Steering System
Stock e30 steering rack

8. Cooling System
M20 radiator
Normal M20 spider hose.
Dual 10in puller fans wired up to the e36 ti 80/88 lower temp switch (Temp gauge should run directly in the middle)
Normal Aux Pusher fan in front (Mostly for AC...but also for a backup).

9. Exhaust System
Stock OBDII exhaust manifolds (O2 sensor bungs plugged and EGR holes welded) into stock m20 exhaust.
M20 exhaust was cut in the front and mated up to the manifolds.
I had a bung welded onto the custom piece, but you can probably use one of the stock bungs and only plug the other one.

Such information! Great thread.

Am I correct in assuming the E36 drive-shaft is required no matter what transmission you use?
