Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Re: M42 race engine on a budget build...

make sure to post as much info and photo's as you can of the engine build etcetera, seems like a fun build and a nice package of upgrades.

why didn't you source a S50 ITB set and just removed the middle 2? these fit much easier and the injectors are perfectly centered due to the same engine design. the e30 m3 ITB's have a larger spacing and don't line up as nice in the center of the intake port. anything can be made to work though....

good luck with the build!

don't forget that on M44's they used the chipped key and ring antenna (the EWS system) in the steeringcolumn for anti theft purposes.
if you take those out of the donor car aswell you should be able to make it work i guess.
i've seen multiple attempts for this swap but all ran into wiring and other electrical (possible EWS) problems.

try to find some of the same swaps on forums and make the decision if you think it is worth the hassle.

another option is to make a frankenstein motor with parts of both blocks and basically build up a fresh motor with new gaskets, bearings etc. maybe a nice opportunity to get some extra power out of it aswell
