sidewayswhat!

bump, some one buy it, awesome deal

ECU is a DME red sticker Bosch 0 261 200 413, I got it with the engine, as for kms not completely sure I will try and dig up old trade me files, But I've had the engine since Jan this year

have a turbo for it now as well, I'll still be sourcing parts to complete the package, but still for sale, depending on what I get price will change but not a lot, as want this gone

this is a great start of to convert you m20 or m10 e30 in something quick, and cheap, the engine mount bushes are from a m30 I think, they work with the mount arms and I have had the engine in the car fine.

Alright bmw lovers, I've decided to sell my engine as I'm going with something different. so specs

-M50b25TU

-brand new plugs (not fitted yet)

-brand new alt. belt

-has pretty much ever thing, apart from aircon pump

-has stainless turbo manifold with waste gate port (can throw in wastegate for extra)

-m20 fly wheel shaved down and resurfaced with m20 starter motor to match

-M20 H/D stage 2 clutch (brand new)

-Getrag 240 gearbox

-engine loom and ecu

-m50 engine mount arms with engine mount bushes

-e34 oil pan (new gasket, have e36 sump as well still with oil pick up)

-New gearbox bushes

have probs missed a few thing, just ask if you want to know anything.

not sure of km for engine or gearbox

looking for $2g have spend at least $3g getting everything for it, this is really cheap for a e30 conversion, only really need the gearbox drive shaft and AFM

you can contact me on 027-810-3542 or here.

Thanks.

I'll get a none blury pic with plug in pic.

Anyone have a AFM for a m50b25 with vanos??? I've brought two so far and they dont plug in. if it helps there is a little box in the afm wiring that says performance box on it..

Really after the afm

I'm doing my m50 swap into my e30 and have just gotten the engine and box in for a test run, and my current drive shaft is to long, I know I need a e36 325i driveshaft but I want to know length between the models or if there is another method as to which I can use mine.

I'm running a m50b25 vanos with a getrag240 gearbox and a medium case LSD diff

Really want this thing going already...

I'm after a new set of front control arms or with the middle ball joint and lower ball joint for a e30 318i both sides, or what are some other models I could use?, I've heard e36 and e46(with mods)

I'm also after a set of of outter tie rods. can you point me in the right direction to get them. I have also been thinking using a e36 outter tie rod for more lock is this possible.

Thanks

ok so I've got the tensioner, but I don't have the bolts for them... What size bolts do I need? and when I turn the tensioner a hole lines up on the block I think cant remember (will get a pic up) but what goes there to stop the belt from hitting the alternator tensioner. Help!!!

awesome page, thanks already posted a few of my fav pics I have, including some e30's sideways

I have hurd and seen the slr product on some us cars on bimmerforum, but they are very pricey and I wish I could afford , I do plan on getting the e36 rack and there different type through all models?

I'll have a talk to Dave at TSV sometime this week or next and see what he says.

Hey guys, so as I'm slowly building my car up for my m50 conversion I have just found out that my front struts are pretty much buggered, (little story) the guy that had the car before decide it would be a great idea to cut the front spring and put king spring in the back. the result of the cut spring, my shocks are (how do I put this nicely) F***ed and the top hat is bent to sh**, so now I have taken the sturts out and having my local suspension expert Dave at TSV build me a set of coilovers for the front at a great price, and while taking the struts out of this 23yr old car I busted my tie rod ends and lower ball joint.

anyway onto what I want to know: What upgrade can I do to get more steering angle? Eg rack spacers? How do I put them in? or use another models tie rods ends e46?

And to replace the lower ball joint the on the front control arm or wish bone arm should I just take that of and let Dave push a new ball joint in or is it easy to do? what tools will I need?

to conclude what I'm getting at is I WANT MORE STEERING ANGLE!!!!!

I wanna start learning how to drift once I have my car going and I'm trying to do it right the first time, I'll be running 15x8 for street and I want to find a set of 16x8 for drifting.

can you post some pics please, I think I have the wrong intake pipe, it only has 1 hole on the side of it, that and the plug on the loom doesnt plug into the afm. I think its for a m50b20.

I have windows and my shed so shouldn't be too bad, I've taken ALL the air con stuffing out including the main box

Haha sweet thanks, my aircon didn't work anyway, so I decied it was weight that wasn't needed, also that pipe for the heater has a smaller pipe between the two with clamps, just have the tape there to make sure it stays, (I'm from palmy) haha

ok so where does the long hose on this go? and does the short hose just go to the back of the intake manifold?

Also because I'm not running A/C am I able to do this

Probs a better pic

I joined the very end hose port closest to the gearbox to the main hose.

yes please that would be great, mine a 93 vanos m50b25

sweet thanks, I've got something else in there atm :/ dont have a pic but its the circle thing that has the two pipes coming of it, I"ll get a pic in the morning.

So far I haven't had any trouble lifting it, with the load leaver in place, no signs of cracks or anything.

while I have this thread open, someone please tell me where this pipe in the red circle goes to

Sweet thanks, I got a pm like 30min after putting this up =)

Thought it was damn, were can I buy the tensioner? and how much are they?

Thanks for the pic as well will be real helpfull thanks

Hey guys I"ve just gone out and brought a new belt because my engine didnt come with one, anyway I went to put it on and I think I might be missing a tensioner, this what it looks like

It looks like its meant to go to either another tensioner (how much? where from from?) or the aircon pump (dont want one)

Please help me out.

go into bunnings man they have drills for $20 and probs the rest for no more the $50-$60.

I'm keen on the second steering wheel and the quick release.
