but which side should it go? on turbo air inlet?

on turbo outlet side ??

or manifold inlet side ?

just on his point with the AFM.....

Mine is on the air let side of the turbo.... but i have seen many on the intake side in front of the inlet manifold

which is better ? mine seems to work fine...... but it would make sense in front of the inlet man !

would the getrag 260 off my 325i mount up to a s38 b36 ?

what box do the s38 use? getrag 280 ?

Did you use the 300mm.de engine mounts?? how did the 300mm.de engine mounts go ?

did you have to modify them for the s38 (i think is says that on the site but it was badly translated)

this might sound like a stupid question because i havent done my conversion yet but......

The standard manifold dont fit i assume ? where does it hit on or come close to?

do they need to be fabbed or can you just alter them a bit

ta

this on the road yet ?

A few Q's.....

Could you use the standard 325i transmission mounts ? would that just give you a 10deg twist in the box ?

Did you use the m5 flywheel, oil pan etc ?

You had to shorten the propshaft by how much? Will the box be ok with the standard diff ratio ?

great, im a pioneer! heheh just what i wanted.................

oh well i guess i may find out the hard way then

thanks heaps

well.... i dont have the zf box and i dont really know where to get the propshaft shortened and re balanced etc. At least if i use the 260 with the same propshaft, flywheel etc i dont have to spend load more on parts. These parts are hard to get and very expenisve in Australia, so im trying to use w...

ok was just making sure!

I am aware of the 10deg twist on it, that is ok

ok well if it can be done................. i will pay for the engine today

ta lads

I have been researching and have been told that you can use your standard e30 325i box with the s50 conversion

Is this true ? or is it only for the US S50 ?

I will be paying for my engine today........ but it will be no good if i cnat use my current box

thanks

what needs to be done to fit the e30 box to the s50......... looks like i might be going down that route??

thanks heaps....

these parts hard to get in australia and very $XXXX

still tosing it up at this stage, depending on the dollar of course

Hey there!

Im planning my s50 conversion and wonder what dramas lie with using the 6 speed box into my s50 conversion 325iS ???

Its either use the 6 speed or use the standard e30 325iS box (260 i think?)

What drams lie with the getrag 260 on a s50 b30 conversion?

thanks heaps
