1987 325e. Eventually Boost+M50 Swap
-
whats wrong with doing it in the driveway?
Monday would be a perfect day for a swap.
lol! my driveway too steep. But it's family stuff.
So the current plan is to get the longblock out of the garage, buy ALL the parts I will need for the swap. And then bring the swap to a garage (First I have to find one... ) and do it over the course of a weekend (preferably a saturday).

doing an engine swap in a weekend is pretty intense.
Make sure you have competent helpers that can allow you to get multiple tasks done at once.
I'm hiring santas elves.
But seriously I totally got boned by my family t('.'t)
with that being said, any help is appreciated. (I know, I know.. It's cold!)

gross.
well if you end up doing it in the milwaukee/waukesha area then I might be able to help for a short while.

Looks like I will be the lone ranger with the only force-fed M20 around here afterall.
So that PCV hose doesnt connect to the valve cover then? that would make for a massive vac. leak and cause the car to run like potatoes
LIES! Our m20 was junk, but we found another one and we will still be boosting an m20
sk8 or die

Nice purchase I'm excited to see the m50 go in. Good luck on getting it all swapped in a weekend. I got my M50 swap in, in a day but mine was already in an E30 so it was easier for me. If I could give some advice I would drop the subframe with the motor. It's a lot easier than trying to move the motor in and out through the top.

Also, would these work for my m50 swap?

I have been paged. The ones I have are short tube race land headers.
If you're interested I can send you pics. They are "interesting" if you will.....

You upset bassboy by not sending the M50 tps, and you paid the ultimate price. You are dead Rowley.
dead.
Last years ragedrifting accident in the Jetta was a fluke, this time you are really dead.
I didnt want to, but he gave me no choice .... RIP good buddy!

the headers on my M50 swap were from eBay and they worked. they are exactly the same as the ones on the site. be careful because they turn a weird purple color over time.
