    wiring and diff....

    hey guys i have a 325 is that i want to swap an s50-s52.. whichever one i can get my hands on first... i understand that the wiring needs to be adapted in order for it to work.. i found this from tree house racing..Please let me know if this is all i would need to just plug and play because im not quite sure. http://www.treehouseracing.com/index...id=6&Itemid=32

    also what diff should i use for the swap... i belive i need a 325 e driveshaft if im not mistaken.

        i just spoke with the owner of tree house (john).. he said they would be able to do it for me... for 500.. i would have to send them my harness and they would create a custom wiring loom and send it back to me and all i would have to do is plug and drive.. lol ... i thank you for the response and will be looking at it right away... again thanks..

          Is this for real? $500? Holy crap. You realize that you can't use the engine-side harness on the s50/2 right? Seriously-what are you talking about?

            I think what he's talking about is for $500 THR will take an M50 harness, remove the x20, and attach a 20 pin C101 connector on it.

                  It's not always an adapter, I've done quite a few swaps where I replace the X20 on the M50 harness with a C101 connector.

                    so what do you guys think on this harness from thr go for it or not... basically they would need to configure the ews but turner has the ews delete. btw thanks for that thread gobuffs that was awsome.

                      Just get it. Quality is good and you obviously dont have the patience to figure out the wiring yourself.

                      As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                      You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                        That would be nice. I have a RHD harness with a hacked off X20 (chassis side) spliced into another X20 coupled to another hacked off X20. Made things easier to change wiring around (especially handy when going from an M3 harness to an MZ3 harness).

                          that definitely is true. i wish i had the time... im guessing if i get this adapter and get the ews delete i should be set.. then all thats left is the o2 sensors. which i think i could handle.

                          thanks again guys..

                              After you plug in the adapter, you'll need to hook up a handful of power wires, but yeah, it really is very straightforward.
