Ok, Don't need oil pickup - Do still need AFM MAF THING

Hi Chris, I think I have one - Would need to check fitment. Today good with you?

I think I have one around... Will check this weekend and get back to you by Sunday night.

After an E34 M50 oil pickup tube, from the pump which goes to a low point on the sump. Also M50 airflow sensor (the thing which replaces the trapdoor type one on the later engine... you know. Maf?) to suit a 94 e36 325.

Also helps in terms of getting the motor certed when you're using oem arms, mounts and mounting positions. That and I also picked up an e21 brake booster from GAC, Going to get it tested, re-cond if need be - and chromed (it's rusty and sh*t looking at the moment and apparantly the price of getting it chromed will be about as much as if I were to buy 3 cans of spraypaint and do it black) Can the E30 rod not be swapped into this booster to fit?

Wouldn't it be easier to get something similar welded in? Chances of a wrecked cab are fairly slim.

Saw your car around one night in my prelude, it was going around a roundabout I recall, Sideways

Yeah in terms of having all the componants ready for the swap I too could see it being done over one weekend of solid work. I've tried to pull as much useful information out of the internet as possible also re: the swap, a lot of useless crap on there to get through. Wiring is fairly self explanatory, easy enough to test. Need to tap a turbo return line into the sump as well.......

Sorted out an e21 brake booster, out of a 320i/323i... Now we're rocking... Engine hopefully floating above my engine bay tommorow...

Yeah got the e34 pan sorted and the oilpump pickup. Got a 260 box, with clutch flywheel etc.... So yeah thats all sorted and I'm aware of the selector modification. Can anyone confirm that an E30 320i gearbox mount is the one to use with this conversion? Cheers for the help!

Thanks for the info Spargo, Very helpful - the DME has a silver sticker, I too have heard of EWS not necessarily being on the a silver 413, Just have to try and sort it later - easy enough to do. Just having problems locating a booster at this stage, not many E21 320i Brake boosters around... Know of where I could obtain one? Yeah, the US swap info is only of so much use, bearing in mind the US motors suck compared to our superior Euro ones I have the E36 arms off the motor, Have the rubber mounts off a e28 535i - so mountings not a problem. Drifty325i, Yes, the carbon cover is indeed mint - few scratches, but I'll buff them off I'm using a Getrag260, Planning on using the flywheel clutch combo thats with the engine now - or, even better swapping the flywheel and using the starter and clutch off an E30 (single mass, not dual - and lighten it further = rev happy m50 = the win) Only need to tap 2 bolt holes correct, to mate the 260 to the m50?

Just picked up an M50 out of an E36 325i (Vin - FA75096, According to real OEM Produced in 11/94) to go into my pre-fl 318is. My car has a 318is complete wiring loom (every wire in the car, even door wiring etc..) with 325i running gear (beefier diff etc..) It has the 413 DME (which apparantly means it has EWS - Security) albeit, there are apparantly 2 versions of EWS, EWS and EWS II - the later being more of a problem.. I've also heard stories of people having no problems getting the motors running out of a 94 E36, but only the later 95+ E36's. Can anyone clarify the differences between EWS I, and EWS II and if it does have a problematic security system that prevents starting can I use a different non EWS ECU to run my (assumeably) EWS Motor on? (Confusing?) Also in terms of mounting the engine in the car the standard option is to use E36 motor arms, with e28 535i mounts with an e21 320i booster. On E30.de they are able to accomplish the swap without the use of a different booster, but lift one side of the engine up to gain some clearance - possible? The engine has 3 pipes going to the heatercore on the E36, E30 has two - it passes through what looks to be a sensor (this splits it to 3) is this required for the operation of the engine? Hoses can be seen in this pic: Any knowledgeable replies would be greatly recieved! Cheers, James.

Looking good Chris - Mint wheels.. Saw your car the other day out Sumner way - I was in the friends 205gti.

Exactly that, a 320i SA 4 door Parts car 1987 I think... - Pics later, Comes with a few useable bits. No: -Diff, -Driveshaft, -Front Gaurds, -One rear passenger door (but can throw in a number of additional panels if required) -Installed interior -bumpers Has: Various interior bits all through the car, Long range fuel tank, Few good panels, Various plastic trimmings, Rust around the lights on the body, few other rust spots around. Would need to be car trailered, as not fit to tow (no diff, running gear bolted on to 'keep it rolling' but thats it - various suspension parts not done up properly. Will be rolling on bald tyre'd curbed 'caps. It has been de-reged, I was going to use this as my main car but a coupe came up so I took that. Asking for offers over $60, Bits and pieces might be use to someone, I've taken everything I need. Preferable to collect within the next week or so, In Christchurch. Viewing by appointment! Cheers, James

Sold over the weekend. Still have heaps of E30 interior pieces floating around, a few struts etc... Cheers James

Hey, Here's some on dad's car last winter - just after we did them. Heaps of them spotted around town now Ok attachments don't want to work... Yeah, sand, prime, then use a fine brush to do the 'serated' part of the wheel.

Hi Cameron, Apparantly before me it spent most of it's time at the army base and seldomly driven, only for his friend to crash it (sideways in the rain) when he was picking up some mags. The damage to the car was only in the back (the immediate back, smashed the rear lights and bent the boot. Was the most immaculate car I've taken bits off! I'm selling it as I'm repowering for the third time and need the funds to do so. It's only just been test driven in my car recently as all my body work is being cut into pieces to build some arches.

Possibly around that price. May trademe it. Yeah they go along quite nicely.
