My e30 24v project, 90

I thought the e36 coolant temp sensor for the ecu was blue... (closest to radiator)?

[Boostesi]

hmmm not sure what color it was supposed to be, just know that the one in the front hole was originally there, the one in the rear hole is the m20 sensor i installed.

You want to use the brown sensor from the M20 for the swap. Twists right into the rearward sensor spot on the head.

[Boostesi]

yeah thats the one thats in there, but is the front sensor thats still in the factory spot supposed to stay there? or be a different sensor

[jahnaboi]

All I know is for every swap I've down and e36 I've seen so far, the sensor for the ecu coolant temp is blue.

maybe its a cheap aftermarket sensor? not color coded? it was in the motor when i got it from a 1995 325i m50tu auto.

Im getting so pissed of waiting for shipping on my ECU it was supposed to be in on friday, on friday it was in kentucky, im in RI, it went to puerto rico, way out of the way for no reason. also eagerly waiting my harness from markertmotorworks and harness covers

[SmokeOReilly]

no i thought this was similiar to your body kit.

[Boostesi]

it is close, but evidently this shits not really in america thats why i cant find any info on it

[Boostesi]

i found a few other cars with the exact kit

Got my harness conversion from dave @ markert motor works today, along with the harness covers and the dust shield that goes behind the flywheel, and a set of knock sensors. If all goes as planned the swap should be in the car saturday!

If the coolant temp sender thing is still a problem, it should work as long as their is one prong. the one i used is black with one prong and it works fine.

[A_Whelan]

Not trying to jack the thread but is this coolant temp sensor applicable to M50 NV swaps as well?

[Boostesi]

yeah, its just the temperature sending unit for the instrument cluster. you can take it out of your factory m20, the brown one. i just ordered one for my car 90 325is and it was like 20 bucks maybe.
