S38 swap write-up

[thectrlguy]

Dudes....

Anyone have/seen a decent write-up / thread on the S38 swap? Everything I've been able to find is either

a) Swap starts, never actually makes it to completion
b) completed swap, with little details.


Thanks in advance bitches!!!!!

I have done this writeup,, , but as the engine is out of the car it will be done in a proper way with as many detailed info for everybody and i will show you the wiring tec etc
i am rebuilding my engine ,, so i will do a COMPLETE info swap with enough of pictures and other infos,, it will be done after some months,, so just be cool and wait

It is not that complecated,, vs M30.. the cooling issue is the biggest problem

There is so much custom work involved that no two write ups will be the same, or even that close. Give details of what you have to work with ie, which s38, tranny, e30, power goals, what you will use it for...

Regardless of those answers, variable/custom items will be: driveshaft, engine mounts, cooling system, oil cooler lines, booster/MC/res, shift linkage, full exhaust, and intake.

I agree with fronton,, lots of custom,,

[MCCARS]

Agreed.
