I guess I've got far enough and have enough photos to start a build thread so here it goes!
Car: 89 e30 325i
Had an s52 with a zf 5 speed and the plan is to reuse the tranny.
S52 out:
S54:
Of corse doing the rod bearings and it was definitely time:
Decided to delete the power steering:
Egr block off:
Oil cooler adapter for AN fittings:
Crossmember and pan modified by arc asylum:
Pan and crossmember installed:
Engine arms on:
Comparing the z3m s54 arms with the e46 arms:
Installing all the front suspension back:
Can't forget some candy... Lollipops for better exhaust clearance:
The front mount sway bar is not lining up so I called it quits for the night... Not sure what to do about this for now:
Still figuring out what radiator if I even change it out along with coolant hoses and wondering where to install the temp sensor. Thinking about on the thermostat housing but not sure yet.
Also I still need to order a massive booster delete, fuel pump and regulator. But other than that I have everything else needed.
Will post more as I make further progress.
