We ran into an issue that the e90 m3 body style is 2 inches wider but 2 inches shorter. This was a big issue due to room in the bay. The front Subframe was in the way where the oil pan goes. So we had to push the engine back towards the firewall, rerouting all ac and heater wires. This also meant that we had to make custome engine mounts, transmission mounts, and new shifter linkage. On top of that we had to fabricate the subframe for more clearance. This was all a headache by itself! Last edited by Sti2e92sedan; 12-23-2013 at 10:51 AM.. |

Great start and doing it proper I see. The sound from that engine is always music to my ears, especially with an aftermarket exhaust!
Finally a truly Epic build in the works. Not like another thread that just purchases some parts off the shelf, has the dealer install them and call it a "build thread". Way to go Sir! In for updates!

But for now I will be sending all my oil reports to Blackstone for analysis. This will help me keep me informed of what's going on more with these engines |

Sti: if you need any help or run into an electronics pickle along the way, id be more than happy to help you. SoCal makes it easy. Also- if you shoot me the vin # of the donor car, I will gladly send you the service records and maintenance history. Personally I'd do a compression test before firing her up, but with 22k you would expect everything to be fine. Build on!

Awesome build. That fact that you had to relocate the engine further back works in your favor, to offset the extra weight out front that the S85 incurs.
Can't wait to see this completed and PLEASEEEE more pics! |
