And so my conversion begins

[Jozi]

I started mocking up parts for the engine as I need to make up a ABS pump bracket and I'll do one for the airbox also.

I need to move the pump so the airbox fits, if it's relocated here does it look like it will work? I'm probably missing some parts as is




Also the clio servo pinches 2 hardlines and looks like it won't fit



Did I over look something?

Also, where do I move the PS fluid rec? Ant moved his under the maf onto the original bracket but my abs unit is in it's way then.

Because you have moved the ABS unit the E36 air box near enough fits as intended,have a look through "danthe" thread and you should find a pic of it in place.

Can you not place the ps into the original e30 position a opposed to using the E36 position?

I think the m52 manifold and TB fouled, it might not with the M50 inlet - I haven't tried.

The airbox is a tight squeeze as it is there. Need to get a 90deg elbow and see how it fits and make a bracket.

Looks like I need a new/different rad or use a cone filter

[DanThe]

Is that an S50 rad or tropical M20 rad? I need to do similar with my track car which uses S50 rad, I want to fit an airbox behind the headlights, dont like the cone at all

[Jozi]

It was sold as one for the M3 s50.

I prefer a box I think, how bad is a cone with a proper heat shield around it?
