      Looks good so far, keep us posted, it is definitely one of the best swaps you can do, if you can get your hands on one as you have.

              Running MSII on the S38? Would you recommend it over chipped ECU? I am doing the same swap (slowly) but also have a 91 M5, was considering trying MSII on one of them.

              Also, what transmission you using?

                      I'm using the M5 trans, just got in my S14 trans mount today, gunna try it and see how it fits this weekend hopefully. I love to MSII because its standalone and I have loved learning how to tune it the past 3 years. It runs great , from sub zero temps in the winter (ohio -30, to hot 104 in Virgina summer), but it not for everyone.
