Classic Daily E30 325iX S54 Swap

[jakeb]

If you sold these oil pans, I would <3 you forever, and buy another iX.

I can do that. Also need modifed m50 oil pump pickup. Will also need a booster solution. That will be figured out this week. More than likely it will be hydroboost.

In for a group buy of one of these pans. I have a spare ix pan!

Not a huge update but pics are fun right?

Suspension is all back on the car now. Test fitting the wheels so we set it on the ground.




I'm happy with the fitment.

So with any swap it seems like there are some things that are road blocks...oil pans, brake booster, exhaust manifolds, and wiring/dme.

So with this one the next thing to get around is the brake booster.
Fitting the stock air box first required some trimming of the heater pipes to the interior. They will need some more yet.



Plenum on..


As you can see there is NO room for a booster.


At this point we are planning to go with a booster delete and change the ratio off the brake pedal. Maybe a slightly smaller master cylinder as well to give a better pedal feel.

Right on- I'd also be in for a group by for an oil pan and modified pickup.

I'm probably going to do the same thing even though my engine wont be rotated, likely with a Massive kit. It should be fine, realistically the whole brake setup should be upgraded anyway.

What is the fitment (Diameter, width, offset, tire size)?

They do look really good.

I have 2 spare ix pans. Could I send them both and get a built one for an s54?

I feel like the swap into te ix is easier than a normal e30. Apart from the oil pan mod. Am I right in assimg this ?

Not really... easier on normal e30. This has the pan...plus everything a normal e30 requires.

Why on earth would this be easier than a regular e30?

[rzerob]

Jake just makes it look easy.
