Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / 24V swap?

« on: April 04, 2009, 07:42:07 PM »

Hi fellas!
can someone shed some light over my ignorance? which 24V engines will fit in an E30's bay? what are the issues related to fittment, electronics, transmission, etc: I never thought of swapping another engine in, but with so many (more powerful, may I add) options to the m42 out there, I think is a viable option. Also, I´m not sure which year/model do some of these engines come with. Thanks!

Just finished up our 318is, we put some air struts up front & air bags in the rear. Fun car to drive very stiff no roll at all, handles like a go cart.
Added a front strut bar and another out back running between the rear shocks.

Engine + Driveline / My Volvo Electric Fan Install (pictures)

« on: November 08, 2008, 07:56:29 AM »

Did you wire it into the fan on the frontside of the bmw radiator?  I would assume this fan comes on only after the engine isnt getting enough cooling from the fan/clutch deal.  What circuit did you wire the fan to?

As far as I know guys... the fan shroud is supposed to make it more efficient... not less.

Like tjts1 said, all those volvo fans will work.  And yes it's just wired into the stock harness.  You just remove the resistor from the circuit since the volvo fans have 2 speeds built into them.
