      Still waiting for an O2 sensor and rubber radiator feet. Other than that, the motor is pretty much ready to go in! Once it's in I'll figure out the driveshaft crap

        So you have the clutch/flywheel/trans bolted up?

            It happened

            c87767cf04c240fca8e7621788f4b22a.jpg

            Not going anywhere

            3f68a42b6dfa8dfcca2f980f8cbe6eca.jpg

            Solid mounts. I don't have any fillings yet, so I'm not too worried about vibration.

            fb184ceade86998835f4e3da855fef13.jpg

            Cleaned up the carrier. Installed the new Delrin stuff from condor. Popped the z3 lever on. This thing is very tight and awesome. There's like zero slop. Zhp knob came in too.

            Just need to hook all this crap up now

                I'll have to break the clutch in. Was trying to plan a road trip somewhere

                  Looking great!

                  I took out my condor speed trans mounts and popped in some OEM e21 bushings.  The trans vibrations/noise with the Condor's in there was annoying after awhile IMHO.

                    Thanks!!

                    I may end up going with e21 bushings. I figured I'd give these a try. I have yet to drive/ride in any vehicle that has been more uncomfortable/louder/have more vibration compared to the Supermoto I practically daily'd for 6 years.

                      Just remembered at like 2:30 am that I'll have to buy an EWS delete chip (may get one with a "tune" on it) just unsure who to buy it from as there are about 4+ vendors that seem to make them

                        S50's had EWS? I thought that was an OBD2 thing

                          That's exactly what I thought too. I do have a silver label DME and not a red label one if that makes a difference. I can't really find any solid info one way or the other

                            Turner had this on their website. Note the line that says e30 with engine conversion

                              From some of the misinformation I read last night at like 3am, the red label DME did not have EWS. Silver labels did

                                  It's in. After some deliberation, my buddy & I just decided it should be welded in. If I want to remove it, I'll cut it out & get a new one for $90 if it isn't salvageable

                                    Pretty much everything is hooked up now.

                                    Still need driveline stuff and I'll be ordering a sssquid tune shortly to get rid of the EWS and get a basic tune for now. Still have to attach new stainless clutch line and bleed clutch. Need to attach radiator/hoses, fill and bleed. Need to Figure out a way to mount to bumper for now as well

                                        Scratch the tune comment. Still emailing back and forth with squid and TRM.

                                          Bought a tune from sssquid and learned a lot about DMEs. He's very helpful and his price was $175 vs TRM @$250
