Another S52 swap... but this time with a newb!

Pictures up!

What did you guys do with the evap canister? I can't seem to make it fit in its original place as the engine mount sits higher than the stock one. ??






Look how low my oil pan is... lol...

So I threw the motor on because I'm tired of seeing it outside my car and I'm running out of time/space/money.

Just need obd1 wiring harness bracket (part that holds wiring harness to the block and knock sensors...

any pics of the motor installed??

Just get a 3.5. I cut my hand trying to get the damn boot over the 3.5 its a bitch. Just get the 3.5 and save yourself some trouble.

Or buy a silicone coupler from any place that sells turbo parts, and put a short piece of 3.5" tubing in between.

How'd you stretch the stock boot?

Not even scared though. Just pissed that someone sold me an incomplete harness...

Matt is it possible to stretch a bimmerworld 3" silicone throttle body boot to 3.5" by heating it in hot water or something? Or is it not possible? Anyone know?

Probably won't be easy since those boots are so tough. I stretched my newish stock boot over the 3.5" MAF and that was torture. Maybe sell your boot and buy the 3" to 3.5" boot?

Sorry, got rid of the them. Post a WTB in the e36 section on BFC.

Jean, to my standards I'm working very slow. I'd cover so much more if only people meant what they said and sold what they said they were selling. grrr. Care to donate your cracked sensors? If they are still in one piece I could plastic weld the casing together and still use them...

[MR 325]

Bought mine new, expensive parts they are!

[Jean]

Dude you work too fast!

Good luck on obd1 sensors, I had to buy two sets as I didn't like the first set (cracked casing)... or buy them new.
