1990 e30 325I LS1 swap thread

[Mushroom Stew]

You managed to sell a m20 and Getrag260 for $1000? Holy cow

Got the brake booster eliminater from Chase bays installed along with the new brake lines.
The black hose tied into the brake fluid reservoir runs to the stock clutch master under the dash
Getting the hose attached under the dash was a big pain because of the location
For the front seats out and cleaned the carpet. Came really clean except for a few places which will be covered by seats and floor mats anyway.

So finally started on the swap. Been preparing for the arrival of my second child in October so time has been slim. Would like to have it up and running by the first of October. Pulled the motor and sold the complete package for $1000.
Removed everything not needed and have the engine bay a good cleaning

You need to modify them by cutting the collector right?

Do you have a quality exhaust shop nearby?

Cleared this up on your thread but I have the revised headers which should fit. I'll know more soon as I start the fitment

Haven't had time to work on anything here lately but I'm getting ready to dive into head first. It appears that the headers will need modification now so I need to get that figured out.

Hows it going, any updates?

[90e30ls]

Wow, that's a good looking kit. Do you have a link for it? Curious to see how it looks installed

Click on the e30 in the drop down menu. They even have a video for the install.

Very unique color. The motor will look great in there :).

Caaan you do me a favor? Can you take a few pix of the whole kit with all the parts? I want to verify that/if it comes with everything I think it comes with. Like clutch line and quick bleed kit.

Just got it in and I believe it has the clutch line and bleeder line you are referring to

[E30Whore]

Ok thanks. Good luck!

Looks great. I will need to cut custom wires because the runners are at a weird angle, no matter what set I get, I'll melt two or three wires because the rest on the header.. Sounds like a silly problem but still a problem lol

Well supposedly that's what these are good for. They are much longer than the stock protective shield and they can be bent to form. I will put some pics up tomorrow to show you the length
