F20C powered 325i

[wworm]

Any idea on pricing for this kit?

I don't think it's too wide but we haven't tried it yet. We wii be pulling the swap from my car soon to test the new oil pan so maybe we'll try then but I think another BMW chassis is more well-suited for the J swap. I don't want to go into details but we are thinking about this swap heavily.

8 series?

upper trans brackets are done



working on the new mount design



Needed a 2 door and a 318 so we looked hard for a black slicktop. We gave up and got a red one.



then this FN thing shows up 3 days later!





so we bought that one too

[wworm]

woo!

Hardest damn thing to find was the male s2000 c101 connectors. We built a test jumper harness to use the stock s2000 harness and it works perfect. Should go into production in a month or so

I think I heard the J series motors are too wide for E30 chassis. only rumor not confirmed but thatd be an awesome swap too

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

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.

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.

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.

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