Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / E36 M42 into E30 completed, MOVIE :)

U can use the E30 tranny but the E36 M42 uses the 15mm pilot bearing in the crank so u will have to put a 12mm bearing in it with the E30 tranny. (pretty easy though)

not at all, as you see in ETK M42 has 12mm bearing up to 09/1990... so the difference is not e30 / e36

Im swapping the stock 1.8L 8v single cam motor for the twin cam 1.8L Twin Cam.

I have swapped motors ect before so im pretty switch on with it, But just want a heads up in case the mounts ect are different in some way or not you know?

Is there much in swapping the loom? It just plugs straight in right?

so are you swapping out an  M10 or M40? There were 2 1.8 8v engines.

This is an M10B18:


and here you see M40B18:
