engine from an automatic put in a 5spd car?

[vic_325]

if i wanted to do an engine swap from an automatic car into my 5 speed, what would i have to change on the new engine to make it work with the 5 speed.

I am almost completely sure that it's a bolt on. There are external pieces that are different, but if your car is a 5spd, you have those parts already (intake boot, etc)

Only minor external differences. It will bolt right together.

Automatic engine doesn't have:

Flywheel.
Clutch.
Pilotbearing(one inside of crank) .

If you will use automatic engine harness, you must delete neutral safety switch.

the new engine is the m20b25(325i), im droping it into my eta, are the hosings different?

How do you delete the neutral safety switch?

Do all automatic engines have the hole drilled in the crank for a pilot bearing? If so, good. I know some other engine makes don't always drill the hole on the automatic engines.

All M20 automatics I've seen have had that hole.

Take all possible hoses from the donor engine.

I have a blackout about that neutral safety switch, it might be that there are not ANY parts on engine harness that are involved, so maybe there no need to do anything with it.

[vic_325]

so the eta tranny will fit on the 325i engine

[blueapplesoda]

yes it will bolt right up.

[vic_325]

nice!

You will have a LOT more in store for you if you atempting to install an "i" engine into your eta .

Unless you are already doing the whole "i" conversion .

Unless you are already doing the whole "i" conversion .

IMO e->i swap is pointless if not done completely, means that vic you must swap compelte engine with injection.
