And another M30 swap begins

[yert315]

go to the junk yard and get ANY m30 harness that's complete. I am running a harness from an automatic and it's fine. I'm just not using the automatic bits. I got mine frmo the JY for $30. Trust me it's easier.

I tried the m20 harness, and it didn't run for shit. Probably my fault all along, but I'd rather have a true plug and play system then have to cut and lengthen.

That's an automatic e32/e34 harness with a big chunk of stuff cut off.... I would use another e32/e34 harness or use the e30 harness you have.

It's not EASIER to use an e30 harness, think about it, the e32/e34 harness is MEANT for the m30, no wire cutting/extending needed like with the e30. Plus, e32/e34 harness looks cleaner.

I see what ur saying jean, now if i were to get another harness would it have to be from an manual m30 or it doesn't matter

this is all i have that came with the m30 motor (talking about the harness) which should be the first pic the rest are just misc. thats why i prefer to use the e30 wire harness because i already have everything for it nd i heard that its a lot easier to work with

[E30 Beast]

What motor mounts did you use?

I am using good nd tight mounts, fits perfectly nd yes i did the same as george graves took off the insulation nd beat the living hell out of the firewall, i have about 1/2 -1 inch left for the motor to slide back

[george graves]

We made them ourselves after e30.de mounts got lost in the mail.

I both pounded and remove insulation.

Get'er' done.

Hey Beast did you have to pound the firewall or did you remove any insulation?

LOL will do

i started to us the m30 harness but realized that the place i bought the motor from ripped off some wires so all i have is the injector box nd wires
can i still use it or just stick to the e30 harness

[yert315]

if you can use an m30 harness, do it. I found it to be MUCH easier to use.

[E30 Beast]

does anyone have or know i can get a wiring diagram using the wire harness from an e30 because i am getting lost any help would be mucho mucho appreciated

[RickSloan]

thanks good n tight

and yea i gotta do a video when i start the car up, its like a tradition for these motors lol

the tradition isnt usually because its running but because its not running right lol

good progress man, keep it up
