Everything has been wired, except for the C104 plug, the 02 sensor (going to hold off until I get my car to an exhaust shop) and the oil level sensor (mine has the circular plug)

If someone could give me some direction on the C104 plug it would be much appreciated. From my understanding, the green wire is the starter switch, the black is for the tach, and the yellow/white is for the econogauge. I think I need to wire the black into pin 6 from the ECU, the yellow and white into pin 32, and the green into... ???. Some stuff I read says not to wire that into anything and some stuff says I
I cant start the.car without it. It looks like the start input would be pin 27. Can anyone confirm if I need to wire this?

Anyways. The battery block, ignition coil, starter, alternator, charcoal canister, TPS, AFM, Injectors, etc etc etc is all wired. I am confused whether the ICV/TPS and CPS/CID are interchangable. The plugs are identical and right next to each other.

Also got my tach from my 323i in, power steering all hooked up, and dropped my 323i exhaust. All that's left is to sort out the wiring odds and ends, hook up the exhaust, connect any remaining hoses and start er up!







Excuse my PJs

Curious as to what your wheel/tire specs are. Tasty lookin combo

Melber Mahle 15x7 et12 (I believe E21 fitment?) wrapped in 205/50s. Mahle's were special order wheels that Mercedes and BMWs could come with, made by BBS or Melber, so.. they're not reps. More like pre-weaves

YES! I cant wait. How much longer do you think it will be until its running?

I should be getting the wiring harness in two days, need to put in the radiator, power steering, the gauge cluster, the exhaust, and wire it all up. I think turning it over this weekend is a definite possibility.

This thing will 100% get long tube headers. Probably very shortly after I smog it. My 323i had a custom exhaust from the header collector back, so I'll probably bolt that on for now and fit the headers later.

Thanks for the compliments on the seats, but I mean... dat engine tho.

[wworm]

those seats are amazing

Oil/ trans fluid filled, no leaks so far. UUC Short throw shifter, all new bushings, DSSR, shift carrier etc installed. Turns out I have the wrong wiring harness, will get new one soon, but in the meantime I still have a lot of stuff to put in.

Engine is IN!
