M50 Conversion Shopping List.

[Dan320is]

There comes a time when a standard M20 lump isn't enough, so I'm going to put an M50 into my 325i Touring Auto, while I'm doing this I'm going to convert the car to manual aswell.

Have any of you guys got a list of what exact parts I will need for the engine conversion? What bits I need and off what car?

I have done a manual conversion before so that bit will be easy this time. I want to get all this done before I strip it out for the roll cage and order my new wheels.

Hopefully Stevetigger will be along shortly as he has just done/doing the conversion in his cab'.

Thanks in advance guys.

Accelarator cable from a Z3 2.8

Steve,
you mention the Audi Brake Master Cylinder, Is that the same one as Buster has used?

I have the MK2 Golf 1.3 Brake Servo but am still hunting for a M/C.

Buster mentioned it had to have 25zv cast into it and come from a >1990 Audi 100 or 200 turbo. If this is the same one do you have a ECP or GSF part number?

I dont want to use the one that needs a bit of a cut bolt to make up the length!

Cheers

I found my Audi M/C on ebay £7

Im using the Audi 80 M/C thats 23mm

Buster is using the 25mm for better stopping power!
