So this is my 92 320i e36 im currently tearing the front apart as you can see for a 25/30 engine swap and i think this is probably the best place for this build to be posted.

it doesn't need too much outside of the conversion but i defiantly need a few things so here is the list of things to do or at least i hope to do at some point ?

  • e46 purple tag rack 
  • new wheels probally the 2 im missing to match the front
  • euro tailights
  • decent seats 
  • possible m3 front bar 
  • the obvious missing engine 

any ideas on other things that are nice things to have on e36s

You have doubtless been asked this any number of times but why an RB and not an LS?

because i have spent a good chunk of 6 years now working on rb engines and I am building the engine and doing the mounts etc myself so its no easier to do a ls that i know nothing about and rb is lyf

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
