Project: Spielereien. AKA "The dumpster fire"

[delamaize]

Here comes a dumb question!

M60 and M62 flywheels, Are they interchangeable?
I'm trying to locate a flywheel and clutch for my swap, and I have the opportunity to buy the set that was attached to the M62 that I got my 420g from. I don't want to go back to the dual mass, but it looks like I am going to have no choice, unless I come to a point where I can drop $2k on a set up.

Also, is there any other flywheel/clutch combinations that will work with the M60/420g?

from my research the orange dealer sticker was a service bulletin software update that they did to cars that were brought in for service, much like a recall. i've had 4 e34 404 dmes in my hands and two had the sticker and two did not. shouldnt make a difference, either way.

DME showed up today, it has one of those orange BMW Service action stickers on it, not sure if thats a good thing or not, guess we will find out later....

From what I understand, the 0261200404 is OBD1. Unless I am completely off base.

Does the 404 DME require an OBDI conversion?

This thing will be such a sleeper with that motor in it. It was nice meeting you at that Dicks gtg.

Likewise man! Besides the fact that I think the shitty paint gives is part of it's personality, I also think the sleeper factor is going to be worth while. I can't wait to see the look on the first person's face I lay to waste with Spielereien.

(for those of you who have not figured it out, Spielereien, is Shenanigans in german. ;D)

Picked up the 420g today...

Also scored a 404 ecu for about $30 shipped. Will be here in a few days

With proper sized masters it's fine.....can be even better.

Saw your Q about the ABS stuff in another thread.

Simple answer.....don't use the stupid remote brake booster....do the Wilwood thing. Then everything can stay where it is....ABS, etc. Just run two lines to the master cylinders and done.

I'm thinking about it now, not sure how the pedal feel is without the booster though....

I'm currently doing the same swap and I bought the book from MACALENT. For the cost of the whole swap, you'd be foolish not to spend an extra $25 or whatever it costs to buy the book. It is a very well written manual and worth every penny!

Update, Scored a Getreg 420g out of a 2000 540i, I go pick it up on monday. Still need a Flywheel, clutch and 404 ECU at this point, and of course all the garagistic goodies to bolt it in. Pictures on monday.

Also, side note, anyone bought the book that MACALENT put out on the swap? been debating if I want to buy it or not.

[MonkeyMadness]

Wow what a score!


Jerk....
