Making some progress on the booster relocation and waiting on some aluminum parts to get back from my welder.
Since I have not been able to find a good wiring diagram I have some general electronics questions.
From what I am gathering I need to take the main relay and fuel pump relay from the E39. Would these be located on the body harness or engine harness? There are a relays on the body harness and I am hoping those are it.
If they are fact are do I just need to tap into the E30 ignition wires so I can power them when I IG1, IG2, start, etc they are powered? Basically just wire them into the E30 key, and then into the fuel pump and the starter?
Any good write ups on general engine swaps and electronics for this?

Bad angle, but manifolds are already on there. Just need to weld up some down pipes and fit the old E39 exhaust. Decided to go straight pipe and forget the sleeper thing.
Ohh and the booster is from an older car and I am using that for mach up. I have one in much better condition that I will be using.

This build deserves its own get-together so we can take turns doing burnouts with it.
It's funny when I picture this car being done I don't picture it at the track (which is my new goal for the car), I picture myself in a parking lot with the throttle down choking on white smoke.
We'll have a BYOT (bring your own tires) party
In 4 exhaust pics
It's been a bitch so far. I need a lift or a hand to make any real progress, but I cleared my schedule for tonight to see what I can get done. All I have at this point is the exhaust manifolds made and my old E39 exhaust I plan on frankensteining. Driver side down pipe is proving to be a real pain in the ass.

Run zoomies through the hood. Jk.
Hopefully we can both finish our cars and do burnouts

I feeel ya! I've built a few exhaust at my current shop now, and I have gravel for most of my garage floor LOL.
Between that, and having broke my back when I was younger, and still having a couple herniated disc's, life is real hard without a lift! haha.
sk8 or die

I think there's three lines off the tank. Fuel send/return and the third is a breather line that runs up to a charcoal canister and then to a purge valve to the intake. The connector on the furthest left of the pic looks pretty similar to the coolant level sensor, I'd imagine it's gas level (?) the middle connector is probably for the fuel pump. Don't quote me, just guessing
