1984 318i LS1

[BUDNUNTA]

Owned this car for about 5 years now

8 months ago the little m10 backfired and blew the AFM apart

Decided it was time

[AwakenNoMore]

Fantastic.

[Reichart12]

Now that is a sleeper!

[2mAn]

Revenge of the M10 cars!

[glnr13]

oooh very nice!

[ImmortalSoul219]

nice man. Is that a small honda like half radiator?

[z28]

One day my car will be there.

[bangn]

is it just impossible to keep the booster/master in the right spot? couldn't one remove the condensor and put a smaller radiator in that sits within the core support instead of behind it?

I would really love to do this conversion but the master being up near the headlamp or running no booster at all is just retarded imo.

Don't you think if it was possible to keep it factory people would just do that? Nobody is installing a remote mount booster on LS swaps for fun.

Booster is flipped 90' and sits in the glove box

BUDNUNTA - that's one way to deal with m10 problem :) ��

Could you snap/ post a couple photos on how booster situation is handled ? How is the pedal rod routed to the passenger side, does it go through the heater / blower box ?

Does the glovebox have enough room to open and close ? I imagine you have to use smaller booster?

Thanks much !

Jean, RHD cars all have this brake linkage from the pedal to the brake booster. It goes just behind the HVAC box. The glovebox has to be cut at the rear to fit it, but doing so means you can retain the glovebox and it's function. A smaller booster is required.

depends who's doing the install, a backyarder who is on their first engine swap or someone that's a bit more skilled. Looking where the water pump is in that engine bay I cant see why the motor cant come forward if its hitting the head . I guess that depends where the shifter linkage ends up too.

Ah! So wait a minute this is all oem ? The reason why I am asking is to figure out if these parts then can easily be ordered and used on the LHD car by adapting the hardware or if this was Emgen Motorsport hardware for relocating the booster under the dash.

Thank you

I just chopped/welded up the OEM rhd booster bracket and linkage. Then bolted an old 911 booster on with the original e30 drum brake master which suited the caliper size(e46 front/Ti rear). I made up some hardlines and 2 bulkhead fittings so the fluid resivour I found in the junkyard could be mounted under the hood

The whole car was built from left over junk and bits and pieces. Just lots of time
