I guess it's that time for a 24v swap thread

Literally waiting on 2 parts. Suction tube and TOB.

I'm making a shifter bushing and Oil level sender block off plate tomorrow.

[SamE30e]

Shittt..


I didn't have to shave my intake manifold and it doesn't rub, problems later?

[SamE30e]

Alright.. Dilemma!!

I hooked up power to the harness and the c101 connector. I tried cranking the car to see if the starter even works and.... nothing. The relay in the fuse box clicks, my radio turns on, but no windows, no starter, no fuel pump, nothing.

I went offf this diagram:



The Car is a 91 318is, and the engine and harness are out of a 92 325i.

Now just to double check, I'm using a E30 325i starter, I have the big wire obviously on the big stud, and then on the top one I have the Black/Green, and the bottom, Black/Yellow.

I don't have that giant red wire on the fusebox side hooked upto power, would that make a difference? It's only used to power the E36 fusebox right?

Is this diagram for a vanos car or non vanos? I think the non-vanos is alittle diffrent.

[SamE30e]

Fuck, good call. But wouldn't the starter still go, I think the unloader relay and starter wires are the same.

Fuck I have to go over the wiring again. I can never find the C101 pin out in the ETM. Or the X20

[e30s52]

I really dont know. I have only worked on one non-vanos car and thats my e34. But yes the starter should work if you have it all hooked up right.

Doing stuff to your car when you're poor sucks.

[SamE30e]

I know eh?

Fuck, this is going to drive me insane. I have the ETM from a 92 325i and a 91 318is. On that chart I posted, all the 91 318is wires are correct, I just need to check the E36 stuff. Fuck me! This is going to kill me.

[SamE30e]

Wow.. I'm fucking retarded...

Note to self: Hook up engine grounding strap..

[Danny]

Lol.

Starts now?

[e30s52]

Its always the simple things you forget.

[SamE30e]

Lol.

Starts now?

Don't know yet, I just wanted to check to make sure the starter worked before I hook everything up to the intake. We should know if it runs by the end of the weekend.

[SamE30e]

Couple more problems, my shift linkage is too short, I have a E36 5spd, but the selector rod is too short, I think I need one from an E30.
Also I hooked my slave up and put it in gear, I got someone to hold the clutch in, while I turned the prop shaft, I can turn it, but it takes a lot of effort, mind you the slave isn't hooked upto the resivoir so it might just need to be bled.

[SamE30e]

Gunna fire this hoe up tonight... Hopefully.

Anyone have a solution to my clutch problem?

which tranny are you using?

i ran into the same exact problem with my getrag and e36 linkage.

i think that you need to get matching linkage, so if you have a ZF tranny, you use the 328i linkage...if its getrag, 325i linkage.

i cut mine in half and lengthened it with two pieces of metal.
