M54B30 Turbo

[zx5rider]

I just bought a 1990 325is that I would like to put my Technique Tuning Turbo M54b30 out of an '03 330i into but I've been told that it won't fit because of the bottom mount turbo.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I measured the engine bays and they seem very similar.

It fits. It won't work ECU is the problem...

What's the problem with ECU?

[kronus]

that's nonsense, you use the ECU out of the donor car

you should measure the width of the frame rails. there's not a ton of space between an M54 block and the e30 passenger rail, especially in a RHD car with the whole steering linkage business.

yep^ Australia RHD. What a mission.
