Using E36 M3 PAS Pump on M52 Engine

[J90rdn]

As title, is it possible to use an E36 M3 power steering pump on an M52B28 engine? Reason being is I have an E36 M3 rack, pipes and reservoir but the pipes don't fit the M52 pump. I know I can get pipes from Dan, but the M3 pipes I have are in really good nick so if it's just an M3 pump that will complete the show then I'd like to give that a try.

Anyone any info on this?

Only if you fit an M3 oil filter housing

whats the difference between the two pumps any way ?

One of them bridges i'm going to cross soon

The difference is they are different and require different mounting points

Yes of course I have, they the pro race team that is building your engine? It's still an exorbitant amount to charge for that though

Ahh, banger racing, of course!

Your effectively paying £300 odd for the hoses and adaptors with the above kit

This confused me last night, but having been to have a look at the engine this morning I know see exactly what you mean.

Back to the drawing board.

Cheers

Just buy the pipes off Dan, great quality and fitment

£300 no way im paying that. Its not hard to find the right parts for that job over here for £60-100.
