Wannabe30's s54 swap

Yes I wish I had one but I'm using the one that came from the motor thank jb325is

That's actually what I will be doing tonight is trying to figure out how to run all these wires through the firewall on the driver side FUN (sarcastic fun)

Looking good so far.

Most people run a s54 M-coupe/roadster harness so the wires go in the passenger side, stock ecu location.

Nice work. A S54 E30 is going to be a blast! I am loving that subframe and pan setup.

Thanks
Parts on the way:
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pump
Sway bar

Still need to sort out the coolant hoses.
I'm gonna see if I can get anything to match up with the stock 325i radiator

Should be ordering the booster delete very soon

I'm not sure how I'm gonna run the wires through the firewall on the drivers side yet so any suggestions from someone with experience would be awesome

Installed the condor mounts on the tranny today, tightened down the motor mounts for good all the shift and carrier linkage.

Messed up my steering knuckle tryin to get it back in the rack :( so I'll have to get a new one or fix the one I have. That kinda sucks but no big deal.

I threw on some smoked signals and replaced my broken fog light to cheer me up after the knuckle broke

Will post some pics soon.

Subb'ed. Damn those Arc Asylum pieces look so good. Keep it up!

I'm in for this, an s54 will be in the next e30 I own.

[CorvallisBMW]

freaking sub'd!

Ecu most likely will be under the dash.

Fuel filter I think in the engine bay on the drivers side like everyone else has but when I get it in a few days I am gonna play around with it

Nice work so far! sadly didnt have the opportunity to label my harness so I'm clueless to which plug goes where.

Where do u plan on mounting the ecu and fuel filter?

[WannaBe30]

Yes I ordered Ireland engineering sway bar kit that comes with adjustable links so instead of mounting it under that bracket it will be on top

It's somewhere in shipping as soon as it shows up I'll post some pics

Did you figure out what's going on with the swaybar? I haven't installed my subframe yet, but I want to know the solution before I have this problem myself.

[elmandatario]

s54 looks so good in the engine bay and the oil pan sits up nice good work

[WannaBe30]

I suddenly have a craving for spaghetti:
