e to i swap, harness questions

[mbonanni]

I have a 1987 325e, I acquired a 1987 325i wiring harness.

I have started to put the harness is an just noticed that there seems to be extra connections in the glove box. I have two single wire connectors. One has a white male plug and the other has a black male plug.

I also have a green box inside my glove box, but this new harness does not have a plgu for it. Does this mean that I get rid of the green box?

can anyone help me?

*I reused an old thread*

If you want, you can take a look at my car and check out the differences.

That may be what I need to do, but the guy I am emailing seems to know his crap.
If I give him a list he will tell me if he has it or not.

If anyone else can add to that list I would appreciate it. I want to pick up a motor within the next week or two

late model cooling isn't a necessity. the key parts are the vacuum lines and electricals.

Just send me a PM, if you need to. Plus, it's an excuse to meet another e30 guy.

You can just use the car's original cooling system if you want.

If you get a wiring harness from an 87 i/is/ic everything will be plug and play.

Thanks guys!

I will most likely get the harness from this guys and just continue to look for an 87 one.

So overall does the list look good?

[mbonanni]

Do I need to get the flywheel from an i?

Im in the same boat as op, I was reading that you use the late model waterpump, so you dont have to replace all the coolant parts to the newer coolant system. is that true?

Do I need to get the flywheel from an i?

You certainly should, the ETA flywheel is typically a dual mass turd

[mbonanni]

Thanks!

I will add that to the list later when I am not on my phone.
