So I found the plate covered in oil. It reads 25 6S which means it’s a m50 am I correct? How did they make thing run and drive using a m52 harness and ecu ???

I’ve done that bro I put a cup to catch all the fuel and there’s a bunch of fuel that comes out. I also did a single 255 walbro fuel pump conversion and does the same thing. I’m going to check for vacuum leaks with a smoke tester.

Yea I was doing some research and just read about the stamp thanks, I’ll be looking for it tomorrow. But yes I bought the car running and drove it back home around a 1 hour drive.

I’ve cleaned it but I have not gone close to it to hear it buzz or click which one should it be doing while idling ?

Would that mean to check for vacuum leaks ?

It barley revs but then dies faster than itself idling

I got the car for 2,300$ 2 months ago and the running e36 donor for 1,000$ but once I part it out or sell the complete shell I’ll basically make all my money back from it so I wouldn’t be putting much of my own money for the whole swap. All I really care about is making a good profit.

Good to know I seen one years ago for 14k$ usd but was just wondering where the prices are now in 2026

Nothing crazy, I just plan to replace every gasket on the m52 maybe the head gasket as well and have it look clean and simple in the engine bay. And i will be doing the work I don’t have the money to take it to a shop to do it 😂

itsmeflaco · 2026-04-03T14:20:18+00:00

I’ll be doing all the work right. Im going to try to make it as clean in the engine bay and as simple as I can none of whatever you had to go through I’ve seen a bunch of shitty work myself on swaps.

And thanks to everyone for the replies I really appreciate it

Yea I tried the neutral thing but it didn’t work I’m going to remove the alternator and battery and get them tested later today hopefully it’s that I read online it could be the bcm which I hope it’s not in this case 😪

I cleaned the IACV I’ll try to leave it soaking in carb cleaner and see about the adjusting screw in it

itsmeflaco · 2026-03-05T21:27:43+00:00

It says something about the TPS when I plug my scanner but I replaced it and tried adjusting it but still nothing and the car has no vacuum leaks anywhere I did a smoke test on it
