Rebuilt E30 ABS unit, all new relays, known good ABS module

I reduced from the 1” overflow tank outlet down to 1/2” until right before the thermostat housing. Silicone hose is rated to like 300f. Should be good with the insulated wrap. I hope!...

To prevent tons of worm clamps I decided to try out gates heat shrink hose clamps, remains to be seen how they work out. I tried to use pre-made bends wherever possible.

New plan for driver's...

I could've just converted back to how I had is setup before but that wouldn't be any fun and I didn't like the silicone hose crossing under the radiator so back to the drawing board.

My radiator...

This post is another what not to do. Sometimes I should just settle with well enough!

With the electric water pump hoveringuy realized getting heat was a problem sometimes. The solution was...

Now that the swap is running and I've put 600ish miles on it, it's time to get things exactly how I want them. Exhaust is hopefully on my final revision, details in the exhaust thread, I love how the...

I used this site for wiring diagrams. It seems to be pretty accurate, if you don't have access to the BMW diagrams.

ABS unit rebuilt by Jordan, used about 600 miles in my car. New over voltage and both ABS unit relays. Known good ABS ECU. All were working perfectly when I removed them to go MK60.

New Happy Cactus switchable MK60 converter.

Used MK60e5 unit from an e90 and a yaw sensor to match.

Found a Z4 unit to use for my swap and don't need this setup.

Last post about this pan, I promise.

I don't like all the scratches that ended up in the aluminum from assembly but I like the raw aluminum look. I condition wheeled most of the scratches...

I like this pan a lot!! I decided to go ahead and make one for myself as well. I did have a lesson learned though.

For the pan we made for someone else I was very meticulous about using...

The main baffle piece will require some adjustment to fit, this was by design because every pan will come out just a little different and Steve wanted it fit nicely. The key is to sneak up on it....

Finished product.



This is a piece of 15mm ID x 20mm OD tubing that was pressed into a 20mm ID x 25mm OD tube for the dipstick seat. Once is was pressed in, I drilled it on a...

Next it was time to assemble and check fitment of the 3d printed (super cool) oil pickup, 1 or 2 of the support ribs will need to be cut out for this step. It comes in 3 pieces and requires some stainless...

This thing pretty much fit together perfect, very little adjustment required.




Some hammering on this front corner to ensure bolt clearance.

[Striker01]

This is the only corner you have to fab yourself, from the cut off extra.




We started by welding on the back main piece to make sure the rear piece doesn't protrude inside...

Here it is taped together for a test fit.

Another member had my brother and I assemble hoveringuy 's newest version of his oil pan. Thanks to him for providing the CAD files and some insight on assembly.

Here it is fresh from SCS....

I don't know about the stock n52 manifolds, I didn't get them with my engine. They were pulled for recycling. I know the euro N53 headers won't fit. Would the referee let you use something like the...
