In the event of a nuclear war, this transmission mount will survive.

Engine mounts remade, now the engine sits lower and further back

E90 M-Sport wheels - 17x8 front and 17x8.5 rear fit just inside the guards with no pumping. E34 330i brakes front & rear are a massive upgrade over the original brakes

The 1UZ is a far bit lighter than the cast iron boat anchor that came out... so I'll need to get the front down.

COVID and work have taken precedence over engine swaps for the year but I'm starting to make some more progress in the last month. M-Sport wheels with the correct offset Nissan S15 R200 diff (helical LSD) with billet axles installed Big brake upgrade (E46 330i front & rear brakes) installed...

It was just too tight with the turbo mounted under the left side adn there is plenty of room for a high mount. Cross-over pipe is tacked together ready to MIG, and now the turbo finally has a home. It will be much easier to mount the oil return pipes and wastegate in this position, plus its a...

Workshop manual spec is 2200rpm (+/- 150rpm)

According to this, the W126 uses a sine wave input to the speedo so whichever controller you use needs to have (or have a mode for) AC output. I would suggest you look at the Dakota Digital SGI-100BT. They claim it can turn any input signal into any output signal plus it will run your Tacho as...

Best to make your own engine mounts than use my design. Here is the easy way.

Like most conversions, one solution leads to another challenge. I deleted the power steering pump to make way for the turbo manifold and found a solution in a Volvo XC60 electric pump. The two brackets took about 12 hours to make. Will need to make a reservoir and get some nice fittings to plumb...

Sorry no - you'll have to fabricate the headers yourself, or have them made. Its very tight around the steering shaft. Good luck with your project.

First of all, I recommend you download this file and read it back to front. https://f01.justanswer.com/RbZmAlHy/This+is+how+you+wire+up+a+1UZFE+Engine.pdf Next, download this file and be sure your model of E36 is included https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J7t70jwIB2UNl2Sc_nlGH2w16VkhL2lx/view...

Pin 13 (TC) is the Check Terminal. When it is grounded to Pin 4 (CG) it puts the vehicle into diagnostic mode and the instrument cluster should flash any codes present

Will have a look thru the manuals when lockdown gets lifted. Are you resetting by disconnecting the battery? That would wipe any codes. Have you checked for codes while the warning lamps are on?

The electronics were relatively easy, just time consuming. The X20 plug has almost everything you'll need to interface with the 1UZ to the E36 - Ignition on, starter, tach, oil pressure, coolant temp, alternator charge, MIL, fuel pump etc. Just find the correct wiring diagram for your engine and...

So far, the problems I've solved are: Build engine & transmission mounts Modify sump & oil pickup Modify shifter linkages (auto) Build headers and mount turbo Wiring engine management & adapt Toyota to BMW Throttle cable Brake upgrade (E46 330i front & rear) Tailshaft made to suit Steering...

You won't find a definitive list because this engine swap is not a recipe. It will vary depending on gearbox, induction type, and your ability to fabricate parts or pay someone to fabricate them for you. For example, Cybul make off-the-shelf mounts BMW E36 1UZ-FE engine mounts - CYBUL but these...

How much gas are you running - and how is that combo in the transmission coping?

My bad - was thinking early model. If those are the correct diagrams for your engine then it looks like 12v
