other guys threads have been super helpful in prepping for this swap, so im gonna start one and hopefully somebody finds it useful in the future when its done :up:
Hey little bit of back story on the car, picked it up for $805 a couple weeks ago with the intention of building a m20 for it, but ended up wanting a newer motor because of the obvious advantages and the challenge of a motor swap.
heres the car I limped home (thinkin the AFM was dead after 3-4 grand) 100kms. 1986 325 limited edition with 280kms and a 5 speed. car has a bunch of little problems im fixing along the way. anyway heres a pic
cheap, clean body, 4 doors and the ability to drive home was everything I was looking for in an e30, and thats what this thing gave me
and after throwing some ballerstance rims on it
not wanting to spend any money on the m20 it came out pretty quick hopefully its still worth a couple bucks
picked this up for 750 bucks. included a sub 100kms motor, g250 from same car, 413 red label, stainless headers, brand new stage 2 clutch.
m50b25, enough power for me for now and should be real reliable.
I wasn't planning on cleaning the car up but since the engine was just repainted and was so mint, I felt bad putting it in my dirty ass bay
sooooo everythings coming out and im painting the bay (dark grey) so I can paint the exterior of the car whatevs when I get to that point
ive ordered mounts, a few missing engine bits, bought a front sump. still researching the best gasket to use and finished my electrical stuffs ill post my chart later
basically ill be using this thread to ask questions and hopefully get some answers n stuff
