So, i went over my wire harness adapter again today, i found a problem in it. 11-11, I changed it to 11-19. This is my final draft of my harness as of current. This is not tested, nor do I take any responsibility for you using this and having your car burn to the ground or blow up.
No problem at all ck, I havent really outlined what my plans are with my transmission and such because I honestly havent decided yet. As of current, I plan on using my stock getrag 260 tranny and driveshafts I already have. Of course, this all may change should I find a proper setup for the right price as I get closer to swapping. As far as my diff, I have a 3.25 LSD in the car ive had for quite a while now. I really love the ratio with the m20, Im sure it will work well with the 24v.
I dont really feel as if im that far along with this swap. Im kind of behind the 8 ball with the motor i picked up was both a blessing and a curse. With it being a ex race motor I have doubts about how well it was treated. But at the same time, it looks incredibly clean and well taken care of, so who knows. I was lucky its a 2.8l bottom end and the s50 cams, and already converted to obd1, however missing quite a few parts I still need to find.
If I have one suggestion from what Ive done so far, it would be start collecting swap parts asap. im super excited to get this thing in the car, but dont have everything I need yet. Also, keep it simple and dont try to take on too much at one time.

Well, little update. I went to the pullapart the other day and picked up a m50 intake manifold, throttle body, idle control valve and e34 throttle cable. Ive got it all bolted to the motor, its really starting to come together. I found an e34 oil pan im hoping to get next week along with a mass air meter, and ecu. We will see how it goes. I still need to source out a brake booster. theres a e21 booster i can get, however i dont really think i want to go with it. Theres also a e32 740 booster ive found at the yard i think might work. Ive heard the e32 735i booster works. But every 735 ive come across has a hydraulic booster.
