Post Your M/S5X 24V Swap Setup

So my car is a work in progress as I am also doing big turbo in my GTI. Here's what I have so far.

Car: 1991 318is

Parts taken from: 1999 Z3 2.8, E34 525i, E36 328i

Engine
- S52B32 OBD1
- M50 Manifold
- M50 Fuel Rail (considering switching back)
- Pink Injectors
- E34 oil pan
- Some ghost tune I had a buddy flashed with EWS delete

Engine Wiring
-Andrew's wiring harness adapter. Car was auto so will be getting rid of extra wires.

Drivetrain
- Z3 2.8 ZF trans. Stock clutch, flywheel and pressure plate.
- Z3 2.8 LSD 3.15

Suspension
- E36 M3 5 lug conversion up front(not installed)

Steering System
- E36 M3 steering rack with fresh tie rod ends. No spacers were needed however I have to shave the steering rod hole at the bottom. It was touch slightly.

Cooling System
- Mishimoto E36 radiator. Plan to run an E-fan in front of the condenser.
- E36 M3 hoses for now.

Exhaust System
- EBay SS headers

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.

Re-posting mine since I'm done and it's running now.

1. Engine- 92 e36 M50NV. E34 pan and pick up All stock for now. A/C & PS delete.

2. Engine Wiring- E36 harness, adapter from Nando. 403 DME, Dinan Chip

3. Drivetrain- G240, M42 dual mass flywheel, OE M42 Sachs clutch, G240 TOB and slave, 4.10LSD, E30 mounts. e36 325i driveshaft

4. Shift Lever and Linkage- euro 320 shift arms, UUC shift lever, new bushings

5. Motor Mounts- E28 green mounts, E36 mount arms

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.
