right im carrying out a 3.5 conversion into a 320i e30 for norfolk arena drift school, i have a 535i manual as a doner car
how much of the loom do i need is it just the engine loom that goes to the big ecu (motronic stamped on it) or do i also need the loom & other smaller ecu, just to be clear the loom that goes across & through into car.
im not fussed about electric windows, fuel gauge, rev counter etc just need the car to run!
so far i have pulled the engine & gearbox engine loom & motronic ecu! i have also managed to aquire a e36 2.8 prop which i believe is suitable.
is the 3.5 fuel pump required & do i need anything else from the 5 series before it gets scrapped?
any advice would be more than appriciated

Just unplug at the C101 (20x pin plug) and ECU with the 2 relays, you will also need the thick permanant live wire too.
The car should run plug and play.
You can use the 328i prop as its the perfect length
You can run it on the E30 fuel pump
Was the E34 aircon? if so grab the fan, non aircon rads can be used though
You will need some mounts too (see sig)
