    I had to repair 3 of the window switches and I got my 10 day temp tag so I can get it inspected. I'm picking up a used cluster until I can decide if I want to send the stock one out to get it repaired and add a 9k tach or just get a IQ3 racepak.....also picking up a 4.10 lsd diff.





    We will finish up the temporary 2.5" exhaust so we can put some miles on the car. Once we are happy with the design of the mounts, we will start on the 3" oval inconel exhaust.

      The haltech couldn't see the speed sensor and now I know why. Brown with yellow is ground on the stock honda harness on the left.



      Put a few miles on the car and it start to smoke bad under hard deceleration and the brake fluid level kept going low. The brake master was leaking fluid into the booster and the motor was sucking it up and burning it so.....



      I went to get it inspected and ran across what I assume was a stock 335i. I was able to pull 4 cars on it from a light with my a/f ratio at 12.2:1. (still tuning it)

          That seems... overkill.

              We haven't had time to do the exhaust yet. Had to replace some of the front suspension....





              .....oh, and got a new tag.



              OVER9000 was taken :(

                Weighed the car yesterday and it's 2660lbs the full interior, spare and jack, and a half of tank of gas. 205lbs lighter than a m3, I'm happy with that.

                      damn, a 4.10 diff for an engine that goes over 9k? why not go with something like a 3.73 or a 3.46?

                        We have had a couple of local guys wanting to do the same swap so we've decided to make the swap a lot easier for everybody. The hope is for you to be able to start on a Friday night and drive the car by Sunday.

                          We are now test fitting with an e36 rack and bigger sway bars and we are changing the mounts slightly.

                            Will you sell swap kits?

                              Very cool thread. Among my favorite cars ever was an 01 CLS that I turned into a 3.7 stroker with 07 TLS intake. Thread of the build over on Acurazine.

                                if you boil this swap down to a weekend you guys will be my heroes. I'm also thinking s2k trans with a K series wouldn't be too much different.

                                either way:


                                what's the plan for oiling? (dry sump? accusump?) how about for wiring and gauge cluster? it'd be awesome if you documented all that. my plan is to try and figure out a K series on an s2k trans, then use the s2k cluster and hook up the AC as well. most swaps are race oriented and I want to try and make it seem OE
