Engine + Driveline / Re: Driveshaft needed for 02 m42 swap

« on: November 01, 2016, 11:38:32 AM »

I did the same swap and found an e30 driveshaft.  It is bolted to the e36 G250 though.  I'm not sure if the DS from an e36 would work but as long as it has the spline and is  adjustable then it should.

Thanks guys.  Now I need to find a shop that will lighten thi FW.  It seems that no one local will touch the BMW stuff.  "To expensive to order the parts to do it" is the basic response I'm getting.

I thought that it might be based on the car that it came of (from what the PO says).  Looked up the part number on the sprung clutch disk and it's a 215.  That further increased my believe that it might be in fact a m40 flywheel.  If i understand correctly, the "dual mass" FW were two pieces.

It is steel and weighs in at 20.5 lbs (from my bathroom scale). 

Just trying to get some clarification before i start ordering parts.

Clutch shows PN 1 223 290.  It's a Lux and there is a large E on it also but i don't know what the E references.

Thanks Darky

OR.....

Did that model car, Non-AC come with a SMFW?

Very new to the m42.  Bought a motor for a swap and the PO claims that it is a motor from Germany.  It is out of a 93 318is NON-AC car.  From what I've read so far (I have read every thread on flywheels) I still can't figure out what flywheel this is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

Jason

Sorry to double post.  It would only let me post 4 pics at a time.

Here's my real concern.  The nipple on the throttle body is where the hose from the plastic coolant tube was attached (pic 1 in the previous post labeled "H").  What goes here now? (pic 1)

There appears to be two nipples on the Throttle body heater plate (assuming this is the little block between the throttle body and the intake).  One has a hose that is attached to the TB opposite the nipple (referenced in pic 1).  This short hose can be seen in the pic of the ICV (pic 2)  If the Heater plate is removed then do these two nipples get plugged? 

What is the proper routing of hoses for the ICV (pic 2)?

Finally what attaches to the nipple that the hose from the block nipple attached to?  I assume nothing if this is in fact part of the TB Heater plate that gets removed (pic 3).

Sorry to bump this ld thread.  New to the m42.

So I have read all 27 pages of this thread and there is a ton of info.  From what i understand is that the plumbing for the "mod" varies depending on the year of your m42.  First things first.  Is there anyway to tell what year of motor you have based on any numbers stamped on it?  I bought the motor from the PO and he said it came out of a 93 318is.  Not that i don't believe him but wanted to make sure before i start ordering parts to avoid confusion. 

As far as the "mess under the intake", I need some clarification if anyone can help.  TIA.  Here's what i need to know:

If I understand correctly the hose labeled "H" (pic 1)can be routed to the nipple on the block where hose "T" is attached (pic 2).

The VC hose can be routed to the underside of the TB (pic 3 & 4)
