Use Google - for M50 into an E30 you convert one of the existing looms to have a plug in option (apparently), and use the E36 engine loom and ECU.

my m20b25 motor from a uk import e30

is going into a

jap e30

just having a look at it now

im assuming im definately going to have to cut some sought of wires

and probably change fuse boxes over

as the ignition relay looks a bit different,

probably has some thing to do with crank angle sensors ?

will the plug going into my current ecu for 320

fit the ecu that is currently in my 325?

any help guys ?

Oh ok, I thought you were the M50 engine into an E30 guy. Oops.

Chances are someone will have had a crack at this, so hopefully someone will answer.

i have it narrowed down to 1 thing now that im going to need help with

can some one that has done this please give me some instructions ?

im converting a 320 to a 325,

so the ignition plug is a little different, probably because of the crank angle sensors
