^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
what cuz I defended the new guy???

Look man not every one who knows about odd ball shit hangs out in the swap thread (like me) he obviously been there and been through it and though this might grab some attention to point him in the right direction. I dont have time right now to go find all the other links to this info right now. But I will get to tomorrow or the the next day. I just gave him the easy link on here for the time being. Christ man take it easy.

No, because you told me to put the bong down and I am sick and fucking tired of people saying to put the bong down.

Why dont you try looking in the big fucking thread in the m50?

The big fucking thread is almost useless. I swapped an M50 into my e and the information I got came about 90% from not in that thread. You can't find anything in there.

To the OP, if you find out how to get this done, it'd be great if you could make a writeup on it. I've kinda been daydreaming about getting ix drivetrain even though it's not really feasible or necessary for me.

If as Mr. Sleeve says, the oil pan is the big issue, then almost all the info can be obtained in the 24v swap subforum not even in the big fucking thread. That oil pan sounds like an interesting obstacle.

have you previously mentioned an affinity for smoking marijuana on this forum? maybe people are saying bong down because you have posted about your experiences with it.

to the OP: why not go all out and do an S52 iX? schweeeet

Price for S52 vs M50 and there output. M50 is good enough for me for a DD.

I'm up way to late. I don't have to work tomorrow so I'm sitting in the garage looking at my car and thinking I want a bigger engine. I can deff fab up a oil pan I'm sure. Just looking for a bit more info on the whole swap. I was going to build my M20 this spring and boost it but would love to go NA on a bigger engine. Also love the way they look in the bay.

m20b25 and m50b25 are within a few cc of displacement so using the statement of "bigger" is a lame argument.

Talk to Paul at Moonlite motorwerks 484-390-0880. He has an ix with a S50 in it. He made a custom oil pan for it.

[rThor432]

To the OP-- Moon Lite Motorwerks-- (moonlitemotorwerks.com) is located in Pennsylvania. A few days ago we had a post like your here and the OP of that thread said that he was using them as a resource because they have an S50 iX. They can fab up your oil pan, or point you in the right direction. Give them a call.

But really, if you want good power for your iX, just stick with the idea you had for turboing the M20. It'll give you tons more power than the M50, and even more than an S50/52. Not to mention you wont have to deal with the potential expensive headache that swapping an M50 into an iX could become.

Edit to add-- S52E30M3-- you are good..

[JGood]

IIRC, you can't use the e34 525ix pan because you'd need to use the e34 front diff, which is a different ratio then the rear diff... not to mention the front diff doesn't even really fit, and you'd need to do custom axles, etc..

So, you need to weld the rear of an e34 M50 pan to the front of an m20 325ix pan.










You'll have to modify the oil pickup as well.









To avoid all that, you can make an adapter to use an m20 ix oil pan on the m50 block...






Here is a 13 page thread on the swap...
