With the e34 pickup tube for the pump to relocate it to where the sump is you should be all good.

Thanks man ... i just found out that the 3.2 has 2 pick ups , one at the front and the other at the rear of the sump, thats the problem, the solution is to use a 3.0 pump...

thanks

When I'm done with my swap, I'll add every single detail I did with even routing the connections/power distribution and the wiring harness pin outs that I used for my adapter.

Update: 11/09/08

Got my ZF tranny cleaned up and ready to slap on. Also painted my s50 valve cover for my s52. Looks 100 times better now. Going to pressure wash my engine bay tomorrow morning.






Waiting on Pelicanparts to get me my damn motor mounts/tranny mounts/belts and stuff. Should be in by tuesday, and motor hopefully by this coming up weekend. I also made my wiring harness. Just haven't closed it up yet just incase I need to rewire some things.

Note: the open wires are for the oil level static & dynamic

this might be a stupid question but why did you do the plug like that, is that from the s52 of m40??
sorry but im confused about this adaptor story

[jahnaboi]

Its a x20 female plug from a 93 325i and a 1/1990 c101 male plug for my 1/1990 female car side plug.

[Mohammed_A]

thanks...
i assume u gonna be using the standard management/computer box? what about the ews, is there a way around it?

[jahnaboi]

I'm using a 95 m3 wiring harness, with obd1 sensors (full conversion) and a ews delete chip tuned for intake/exhaust/3.5" hfm/24lb injectors from CSS (Chuck Stickley)

[jahnaboi]

any luck on the steering rack? wanna see the end product

[jahnaboi]

Well I had a guy who offered but it seems that's a dead end road. I'm trying to source one out. Found one rebuilt for 300 but haven't jumped on it yet. As Christmas draws nearer, gotta have some money left over for my "babe" lol!

[jahnaboi]

Didn't get much done today but I did happen to make a 3 dollar remote reservoir! Here's the finished product. Just gotta cut the nipple up front and attach a line for the clutch fluid line. It "should" clear the intake boot now. I've moved it quite a bit but retaining the stock brake fluid sensor wires without extending it. Wasn't too hard to modify the stock e32 reservoir to make it remote. Hope you like it. Looks pretty slick if you ask me.

Looks good, hope it fits, probably going to have to take it off to put the motor in, and I'm not quite sure if it'll fit, but good luck w/ that. Mine had to be on the inner fender up ahead.
