OLLIE 26 Report post Posted September 6, 2007 insert massive profit *here*take into account trailer hire, 4 hours getting the wrecked car with no wheels past the carport and onto the trailer, 2 hours travel, 3 hours taking the engine out of the car with 2 people plus the cost of the wreck and i'd say the profit was not a lot. Not selling it for profit, selling it because i've decided not to use it anymore.any takers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mops 4 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 Had an Auto tranny. It runs mint. Ollie bought the car off me and I bought it off Darren (SRBMW) sorry, you didnt replied whether i can see it running. after reading the thread I presume it is already out of the vehicle. Any discount, if I dont take ECU or loom ? I just need the long block really... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLLIE 26 Report post Posted September 10, 2007 it's out of the car so no chance hearing it running. i prefer to keep the lot together as it is the perfect kit for a full swap or upgrade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) So the ECU Loom etc will plug straight into an E30 an run the motor ollie? If so who wired/setup the electrical side of things for you, would be keen on the loom etc as mops is interested in everything else maybe i could make up the difference? Very interested if this saves me wiring my M50 setup. I also would like to know how to get the topic views of that annoying tab format, bit off topic but damn its annoying!

Cheers, Luke yes, we could talk and mayube thing as the hole and split cost. I sort of don't understand you saying that it will save you wiring up m50 ?

mops 4 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Can this go into a face-lift car? well, it's an m20, so it will bolt straight into any m20 compabitile chasis/enginemounts... as for ecu... no, this is motronic 1.1, it has 35 pin connector and were installed only in the very early e30's. as of 86 v1.1 was replaced with v1.3, which has 55pin connector.

mops 4 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Yep ok, so, it can be done -- just needs to be re-wired yeh? i'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. this thread is about m20 engine, while you are talking about m50 engine. If you could eplain clearly what's you are trying to do then i could possibly advise you on how hard/what's involved, etc. all in all, everything is doable, it's just the matter of time and money...

I'm looking at a FL 325i with blown engine, will need a replacement. The other guy is seeking M50 conversion stuff. Can I re-wire it myself, following internet diagrams, or is it more intense?

hotwire 352 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 Can this go into a face-lift car? You can swap fronts of each engine (cam gear, motronic set-up, water pump & dissy (if fitted) with blanking plug/ oil pump drive & manifolds. Use existing (in car) manifolds/ engine wiring. Basicly using bare doner engine & swapping all later perrifials to it. - I have done this conversion before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
