Anyone have a Euro S50?

[2002maniac]

I may have access to a cheap spot in a shipping container coming from the UK next month and I was thinking about picking up a wrecked E36 M3. Has anyone here on R3V swapped one of these motors into an E30? From pics I have seen I know that the brake booster is definately in the way of the intake plenum. Can I use the Hydraulic booster from a E24 7-series?
Seems like everything else should follow the parts recipe all you guys use with your weak ass american motors right? ;)
What about wiring? Seems like it might be easier to use a S50B30 with single vanos to simplify it. (only 281 hp though :( )

you're getting the whole car, then the s52 would be the way to go I think.

The wiring will be a bit more involved with the EWS, but it shouldn't be too bad. You can probably get a chip for a euro motor that disables the ews, just like for the US motor.

There are a couple people on this board that have euro engines in their car

GTStuning, and Ian.

You can use the hydraulic booster from the 7.

Thanks, but if I do this I will be getting a complete car. I can part out everything I dont need to cancel out some of the initial cost.
