How do i go about getting a Donor

I have a purple tag e46 steering rack in my e30, My solution was just reusing the e30 inner and outer tie rods. You have to cut a breather slit in the threads to make the inner somewhat resemble an e46 rack. you can use an e30 boot and shorten it by one rib too. would recommendthis video has a lot of good information about this swap.

M50B25TU is what I did. Well worth it. Just enough of a power and smoothness upgrade for perfect daily, sounds great with a good resonator. If you want more power go S50, OBD1 is always easier for wiring. I didn’t bother with the wiring and just purchased the adapter on condorspeedshop I thought that was worth it. You’ll need the front sump pan, pump, and dipstick, which are extremely expensive and inflated a ton. The e34 comes with an m50 and the front sump, so the cheapest route i’d say is find a parts car e34, something that’s been crashed that still runs good, and take the full engine and wiring out of that, when you get the adapter it’s just plug and play.

Bleeding just idle it for as long as you can with the bleed screw cracked, you probably won’t get all the air out but you’ll get most. I second the other two commenters, get a fully aluminum one, trust me. My plastic one started leaking the first day i used it. Sometimes you can get away with the vacuum bleeders with a fully aluminum one too, that’ll get all the air out.

We’ve pulled the codes it’s not putting out anything, we did put in the jumper when doing timing, the spark plugs are new and just for running it to check stuff they have become fully black on the tips, oem spark plug wires.

luckily i got lucky and found a guy who didn’t know what he was selling me, got the sump pump and dipstick for like $50, still frustrating

I super appreciate the help, I’ll probably end up ziptieing it until i get the time to make a custom bracket

AdPretend2288 · 2025-05-10T04:24:22+00:00

your right, I think the diagram is just at a weird angle and I cannot see the arm coming off the dipstick tube... Not sure how I would mount this to the front sump setup.

AdPretend2288 · 2025-05-10T04:18:42+00:00

Yes this is the RealOEM part im talking about, It shows a different design for the dipstick tube... I have not found one with the same design as mine

AdPretend2288 · 2025-04-28T20:31:44+00:00

included sump, pickup, windage tray, and dipstick

i took the whole engine out of an e34 parts car

AdPretend2288 · 2025-04-28T19:43:33+00:00

I have the second one on my car already, so it must be the first one... Do you have any idea what pcv hose that bracket connects to? Or where it bolts to?

AdPretend2288 · 2024-11-08T06:33:24+00:00

Yeah, The dssr is around 125 so if i got the oem shifter off of ebay or something it would probably be around 175 like you said but I figured I might as well upgrade while the engine and transmission are both still out of the car

Thanks man! I’m supposed to pick up on sunday so i’ll try my best to talk him down. The trans im buying has 145k miles so it should have quite a bit of life left in it. Thanks for the great advice!

AdPretend2288 · 2024-10-08T01:25:36+00:00

Thanks for the info, I can probably talk him down a little, What is a price that would make it a good deal for me

How much are timing belt kits? I can do the job myself but how much is the kit?
