                I bought one for my E36 K20 swap with EFR7163. The quality of the pieces is fantastic. And this will make my swap so much easier than making a bunch of custom stuff. Pretty much all I need to fab are the 2 front motor mounts and the turbo manifold. OK, there's a lot more, but it'll be infinitely easier than trying to swap in the Honda trans too.
                A big youtuber used that kit kit and found exactly what I suspected, the bmw trans and slave doesn't work very well for that setup. He's gone through 2 transmissions in the last few months.

                We did another test fit with the new modified mount brackets, studded mounts (revshift), a stock throttle body, and the new one piece driveshaft. I'm glad we did because we found a few problems.

                    Could you please point the way? I'd like to avoid whatever pitfalls he has identified.

                        The upper and lower trans mounts are done but we are changing the design of the motor mounts slightly. We are also changing the design of the harness so that you will only need our jumper harness to get the car running. With this change you can also use the stock s2000 engine harness or ANY aftermarket s2000 engine harness.

                        We've seen too many "kits" for other swaps that just don't work or it takes months to get the car running. Our goal is to get as many cars running as possible once the kit is released. We don't want you to have months of gather parts and pieces and trouble shooting stuff. We just want you to have a complete kit that works for a reasonable price.

                          Any ETA on kit?

                            It looks like 6 months or less right now. The prototype of the production oil pan should be done in a few weeks and the new design of the harness should be done around the same time. Once both are tested we will go into production.

                                awesome update, now I'm just wondering how hard it would be to adapt your kit to a K series motor. I know K swaps are happening in the s2000 world. you have K Miata to compete with but my guess is their stuff is going to be insanely expensive.

                                I'm looking a k series engines mainly due to the fact that F series motors are becoming more rare/costly especially since they've stopped producing short blocks
