I haven't been on this site in a while the 02 has been coming togeather slowly. I haven't had too much time to work on it, I've have been focused on selling various BMW parts on eBay to fund my project and working on other projects like my brothers 89 E30 s52 swap. Its coming time to finish the 02, But i have to say its fun learning all these vintage Bmw's. The pics i have posted are old and there are updated pics coming soon. When ever i work on the 02 is free time and I'm sure like a lot of you its hard to come by. Here is a pic of my brothers s52 ))))

Loving this build. What offset are you running

I'm trying to sell some of these parts from my 2002. They are all used.

Shoot me an offer if you want anything or have questions.

All parts are located in Cary,Nc

looks like you ran the fuel lines up the passenger side and into the engine compt over the exhaust? not really a good path. too much exhaust heat near the fuel. should run them over the diff and up the driver side.

just a thought.

I thought about running it the other way gonna keep an eye on it. I might have to change it.

I am strongly considering the same swap for my project.

When you cut out the front for engine acces... is that required for the engine iteslf, or mostly a radiator thing?

I just cut it mostly to make room for the radiator, and to make things easier

im sure you could do it without cutting it all out.

Hey Im glad to hear that the transmission is holding up for you, it never gave me problems. I still have that motor if you or know anybody that is looking for one. I Have a bunch of parts left over and will be posting them up here soon. I probably will put the front bumper on for a while till i figure out what im gonna do in the front end. We need to meet up soon i would love to check out your 02. Im working on the exhaust now so i should be able to drive around soon.

I wanted to share my project that i have been working on for the past 10 months. To start it off i bought the car about a year and a half ago. The car had around 160k on it came with the stock m10 and 4spd trans. I drove the car for about 6 months and loved it but it just needed a little more power for me. I did a lot of research on the m20 swap and i have owned other e30's before so i knew it was the swap for me.

Here are some pictures before the swap.(first time posting pictures so forgive me if i mess up)

Heres some pics of the motor and trans (M20b25 and g260 trans)

Took out the old motor and transmission rust everywhere looks to be mostly from leaking fluids.

So after getting everything out of the engine bay i decided it was time to cut part of the front end and make some room so i can get the new motor in and start measuring and making adjustments.

motor just hanging from hoist.

I will post some more pics soon as i get them uploaded to my computer.

Good to hear man! Maybe we can meet up sometime, I'd love to see the car. Drive it yet?

Yeah we need to meet up i havent drove the car yet just got to

finish up the throttle linkage and waiting on a new Ecu to show up.

Hows your car coming along?

Finally figured it out today couldn't find no

Vacuum leaks so I switched a ecu with a convertible

And that was the problem started up fine and idles

Perfect thanks allot for all the help. I will be making

A build thread as soon as I learn how to post pictures.

Thanks allot again

Thanks everyone for all the input. I have not

Had the injectors proffesionally cleaned I'm going

To try the smoke test tomorrow at work we have a

Smoke machine. If that come back good I'm gonna swap

Ecu with my convertible. One of the weird things that is

Happening is when I pull out the oil dipstick

It helps out the idle. And if I unplug the Icv

The car dies and the injectors keep spraying

Fuel when the motor is not running until I plug the icv back in.

Thanks again for all your help will keep you updated.

I will check again thanks for your info these things can be frustrating.

I have a 75 2002 that i swapped a (1990) m20 with g260 trans. I Have been working on this car for the past 10 months got it running about 2 days ago. The problem i am having is it wont idle for the life of me. when u crank it up its starts out as High idle for about 8 seconds then it just immediately revs down then revs back up and just doesn't stop in that sequence. I tried swapping parts with my convertible that runs fine. I tried swapping air flow meter, Idle control valve. I looked for vacuum leaks with brake clean could not find anything. I also Put all new seals and gaskets except for the head gaskets have all new relay's (main,fuel,02) New crank sensor, timing belt exc. I am using the 173 ECU (dme). bosch 044 fuel pump. If their is anyone that could help me out or point me in the right the direction i would greatly appreciate. thanks.
