regular old m60 swap

[marshallnoise]

Bought the boot new. For a 95 540 part # 13711747995. Would it matter if my throttle body came with traction control and the boot is for non asct engines? Not sure if my engine originally came with it but I cant think of any other reason...?

Well the act engines had a second piece that bolted to the throttle body so I would imagine it would be a much different looking boot.

Is that an OEM piece?

Right, the traction control motors had a metal elbow. But both the ASC-T and non throttle bodies look identical (part #'s 13541747763 and 13541741671) sans metal elbow. It has to be the boot... Right?

Yeah. Look through my thread and see what stock looks like. The elbow just can't be right.

Yeah idk wtf happened. UGGGHHH I don't want to spend 100 ducking dollars on an intake boot.

hahahaha I can't stop laughing at that boot!

Is it MTC brand? That's what I got and it fit fine. There's a very slight upward angle but nothing even close to that, lol.

I think the time is right to clock the engine mounts about 20 degrees. Hahaha!

Yeah it's mtc. Who knew bmws came stock with a snorkel?

New replacement boot on the way! Hopefully the first one was just some freak accident.

[marshallnoise]

I gotta say, it's just plain weird that it would be so off.

Won't hydro lock again. ;)

Lmao my thoughts exactly. New boot should be in today so hopefully I won't have to cut any holes.

[dothadance]

Round 2 is at an acceptably bendable angle.

Did some stuff today. Driver side exhaust mani was contacting my engine mount preventing me from bolting it to the block. so I had to cut a chunk out of one arm. Got that figured out then headed to the back. The top heater core line was sticking a little further out so that when I connected the hose it contacted the back of the head. It might have been fine, but I cut it down a little and I trimmed the end of the hose some as well.



Played with some shifter stuff for a minute as well.



Picked this from an e36 318ti and it turn out ITS FITS PERFECTLY. It's the exact length that I need.

This is what my bay looks like now. I really need a new washer tank lmao

hey man im currently planning out a list of parts for my e30 m60 swap.

its an 87 325is automatic. Just wondering which drivesahft did you go with?

I read somewhere online;

The e30 m3 driveshaft works with no modification. The front half of an e28 535i can also be used with the back half of an e30.

Cliff notes: You use a stock, large guibo driveshaft (late 325e, e30 M3, or e36 328/M3 with 4 bolt rear).

As far as the mount goes. No modification is needed to the stock e30 manual transmission crossmember.

Note: 5 speed weights about 85lbs wet

For the clutch, you must use a 240mm flywheel only. However, any E36 or E39 B28 clutch kit will work.[/COLOR]

whats a large guibo driveshaft? Im on a budget so i wont be able to buy a 800$ e30 m3 driveshaft naw mean? LOL by thew way isnt there a differnce between the auto and manual driveshafts?

Yeah that's all correct as far as I know. I got lucky and found a driveshaft from a 325e on craigslist for like $80. It needs to be a manual driveshaft as the automatic shafts are too short. The large guibo bolt holes are like 3.25 inches apart. My clutch setup is a single mass flywheel for an e39 (540 pretty sure) and clutch kit for an e36 328i. I chose a stage 1 clutch kit, but we will see how far that goes, seems like some have problems with it slipping and some don't.
