E30-LS1 KITS now available!

[garretvs]

There is some integration of the GM engine harness to the rest of the car, if you want the guages, OBD2, alternator, etc to work. On our 86 E30, (5) wires go thru BMW connector C101. The tach signal and main power relay control wire go thru BMW C104. There are a few wires from GM connectors C220 and C230 that need to be patched in.

We used a small power & fuse block for switched and ignition power for the GM PCM. We also used a 3-relay set-up for the fans. See the "stand alone fuse & relay module" here:

Our CD covers the wiring in great detail, if you're interested.

I am curious if you run a complete separate fuse panel or integrate the gm harness to the bmw panel? I got a ls1 on the stand and will be collecting swap parts soon as I get moved in to the new house.

Let me know if you ever make a Rabbit LS1 kit.

No waiting, we have parts for the kit on hand. Just take a couple days to weld-up and assemble.

[GotCone?]

Awesome that you are producing these... Thinking hard about getting on the list to help move our build along faster.

[E30Nova]

If I didn't wreck my e30 a couple weeks ago, I'd be buying this kit. :(

Bump for you, though.

a hydro boost setup is much more complex than just replacing the stock e30 booster with a smaller diameter one.

Not ours. It is bolt-in, and you just need to make-up hoses, which are not hard or expensive to do. We show you how in the CD.

anyone know if this brake booster linkage would make an s52/s50b32 swap easier?

How much for unwelded parts? I can weld...

Sorry, our parts are welded in fixtures we custom made to insure that our swap parts will fit other E30's. If you are a handy DIY-guy, our CD has all of the info needed to do the swap on your own, without our swap parts.

You will still need to have a '04 or newer GTO oil pan modified (we used an outside shop for this), and have the driveshaft modified. That would leave you to complete the assembly and wiring of your car, and having the exhaust system made. Our CD has complete, step-by-step instructions, photos, suppliers, etc. for these items. The CD has all of the information necessary for all other aspects of the swap, including wiring, fuel system, intake duct, A/C hoses, power steering hoses, etc.

will this only be one run? subscribed.

I know I've seen this somewhere else but what about the electrical? is it stock GM ECU? is there a conversion harness or????

Just use the engine harness directly from a Camaro or Firebird, along with the GM PCM (Powertrain Control Module). You only have to use one of these stand-alone fan-relay modules to provide car power to the PCM, and allow the PCM to control the radiator fans:

You can buy a direct plug and play ready to run ecu and harness from GM performance. They sell it for people who are tossing them in old muscle cars.
