S50 swap questions

[berlow94]

I have the proper driveshaft from a 328.
PM me if your interested.

I got one. That's why it took me that long to get the motor in haha.

How is the e34 cable routed? Mine passes my throttle body by like 8" if it goes straight. I have the e34 cable part # 35411160609

Hey guys, got the red label ecu today and I'm trying to start the car. I'm NOT getting fuel and I don't think I'm hearing the fuel pump either, but I'm used to the walboro whine in my eclipse. Where are all the ground points for this motor? What else could be the cause?

Here's my pinout from the adapter i'm using compared to a chart I have that is supposed to work for a 86 325e/s

1 - 25 Good Alternator
4 - 12 Good Coolant Temp
5 - 23 Good Oil Pressure
6 - 22 Not Connected Diag Power?
7 - 21 Good Ignition Switch
8 - 24 Not Connected Fuel Rate 8 Missing on e30 side, 24 on e36 side goes to A plug w/ 20
9 - 20 Not Connected Engine Speed 9 Missing on e30 side, 20 goes w/ 24 to A plug
10?? ???? 10 goes to a plug with 2 - Both e30 side
11 - 19 Good Diag Connector
12 - 8 Good Check Engine Light
13 - 13 Good Fuel Pump Relay
14 - 14 Not Connected Oil Level Fault Set 14 Missing on e30 side, unused e36 side
15 - 15 Not Connected Starter Motor 15 Missing on e30 side, unused e36 side
16 - 17 Not Connected Diag Connector Available on both sides, both unused
18 - 18 Good Starter


Halp?

I'll go to the shop later and list my pin outs. I just did the exact same thing for my '86 eta.

Bump.. Can't hear the fuel pump prime or the relay click. I have 3 grounds, i belive. Alternator, one on the engine mount, and 1 at teh battery tray (ecu I believe). Car cranks every time without a problem but there is now fuel. I've tried taking the line off to see if it will shoot out fuel without success. Does it have to have vacuum ( connected to the rail ) to pressurize and prime?

Thanks guys. I have everything except the driveshaft. I was hoping i could use tge 95 one as I have an entire parts car.

if it has the 6 bolt patter for the diff, it will not work.

Go get a e30 325e driveshaft (easiest to find IMO), it works with the swap

Are you using an adapter or a modified harness? DME physically grounded?

Adapter. How would I go about physically grounding the dme?

[e30shmobberr]

how are your crank position sensor and crankshaft position sensors? if they are bad, dme cuts the fuel and spark

Either put it in the brackets under the dash or touch it to any unpainted surface. The DME case must be grounded on an E36 harness or it will not ground the relays out.

Never removed them from the motor when I pulled them and the motor ran before.

Grounded it and same thing through the slot on the side in a bolt and same thing.
