'89 318i 6 speed m50b32tu turbo swap build

[Vincenze]

Does the E36 325i drive shaft fit well? Some people say it's short.
Do you prefer the ratios of the 2.93 or 3.15 differentials?
How reliable is the transmission?

325i auto shaft fits fine, no issues with it. 2.93 is far better suited to the diesel box than the 3.15. 3.15 would be best with the petrol 6 speed. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Could you post a picture and details on the flywheel, I'd like to use a later 6 speed on my s52 swap and couldn't find a flywheel for my s52 that would work on the later gearbox with internal pilot bearing. Thanks

This is what i am getting:

They are making a custom version of this with a starter ring gear position to suit the m50 starter motor. You could use any 8 bolt N54 clutch setup, as long as you use the n54 starter with a 10mm spacer.

Fitted the e46 accelerator pedal and the oil pump chain tensioner today.

Despite all the evidence out there of different ways to mount the pedal bracket that involve cutting, welding, epoxy etc. I just found that if it notched the metal mounting plate on top of the pedal bracket, that i could just use the stock mounts as is and use a hex head bolt to secure it to the old pedal stop.

I want to see how this oil pump chain tensioner goes. Which one is that? The VW one or the S54? Something else?
