    Well, put the exhaust on, hollow cat, no muffler, sounds liek a DTM race car lol.

    Threw a O2 sensor code, would probably do that seeing as how there isn't one in there, but I picked one up and am going to put it in tomorrow.

      you know how on the e36 harness there are 3 wires where you plug the relays into?

      Did you reuse the relays from the e30? or did you buy e36 relays?
      if you used the e30 relays, can you tell me which one goes where? I have 2 relays the same color and one different.

        Just keep the E36 ones. No reason to change them.

                  I got my exhaust done today. Dual 1.75 all the way back to a magnaflow 14385 muffler. Also put in a Dinan ECU and hooked up my o2. This thing pulls hella harder now, but now my e brake is making noise.

                    Stop using it for J turns... :D


                    j/k congrats on the swap. I'll be heading down this path very soon as my m20's timing belt snapped, so that motor has been pulled.

                        No real updates except I'm doing suspension.

                        I do have a kill list though.
