Eddie 66 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 after what seems like a life time I finally have finished the manifolds and boxed in the engine mounts 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 The engine is back in the car and all bolted in. I need to remount the alternator and power steering pump as they wont fit between the engine and chassis rail. you can see that its tight for the exhaust to clear the steering I moved the fuel lines and brake lines to be clear of the left exhaust WIN! the v8 shifter is a direct replacement for the standard e46 unit 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 What model is the ecu as their are 7 listed and they have any where from 3 to 5 separate connectors/module to them.The trans has 5 listed what do you need to know about the cluster wiring?. Might be that you have the latest java which will not allow you to connect need to tell it to allow it.it appears it sees it as a risk have it open and looking at it.

allan 295 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 Had a look and the trans it covers a wide range of items can you narrow down what you want i.e shift indicator,steptronic, oil temp etc The Ecu, DME could be MS42, 43, 45, 46, BMS 46 or MSS54 believe this is for the m motors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I sorted remounting the power steering pump and alternator. I used the E46 pump and alternator so I can reuse the factory power steering hoses and wiring loom for the alternator. Also I made and fitted the drive shaft Edited January 20, 2017 by Eddie 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 I spent today connecting up the Power steer lines, fuel lines, refitted the radiator and hoses. Also mounted the remote oil filter and started to make some of the oil lines. Car is back on its wheels as I'm taking to a mates workshop tomorrow to start making up the oil tank. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) To get dash to work was turning into a bit of a problem, all the sensors like water temp, oil light, alternator light are wired to the factory e46 DME plus theres the tacho. . To get around the problem I decided to still run the 4 cylinder DME, I removed anything that wasn't going to be used , leaving only the crank trigger, water sensor, oil pressure, alternator light and power supply. I made an extra bracket to mount the crank trigger at the front of the motor and pick up off the M60 crank pulley. I then started to wire in the M60 DMe and trans , ecu. It still have to mount the computers and wire in the P/S button, reverse lights, Park/ neutral starter lock out. And then move on to suspension and brakes But in the mean time it runs and can be driven. Edited January 27, 2017 by Eddie 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
