I guess I can call it a 318es after this..

After a week in mexico I came back and got the ball rolling on this again. I wish I took some pics but I forgot.

I finalized the adaption harness I made and started it for the first time. We were so pumped on how smoothly it ran upon first start. I have a couple small things to do this week and I will be taking it for a good drive this weekend. A couple local meets this sunday & I plan to make it to at least one.

best thread of my morning lol

What meets, I'd love to check this out.

Does it have the drive-by-wire "e-pedal" or have you gone to a throttle cable?

[CubbyChowder]

sorry, I'm not too experienced with swaps and identifying engines. What engine is this and what is it from? I see 20v Turbo and it brings me back to my 1.8t VW days

I'm happy you chose somewhere without any light posts!

Cool swap BTW :D

[MAXELHOFF]

Good job! Cool build. Lots of power possible, light weight I guess. I am considering the "same swap", but diesel. How does the Toyota transmission shifter location compare, in relation, to the stock e30 shifter hole? Motor mounts used? Transmission bracket mounts used? ACME engine/transmission adapter? Starter used? Is your air filter big enough? Link to "IG" build? My slow project...http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=275412
