i know this has been done a couple times. and im getting more and more interested in a s54 motor swap instead of my initial plan for a turbo'd m52. i like the reliability of a stock n/a motor capable of 300+whp w/o major engine work. so...

my question is if i had a donor car would everything be a direct swap if i just pulled everything off the s54 donor *wire-harness specifically* or would i have to splice the s54 wiring into mine?

i've searched this a couple times and found that some1 spliced the wiring.. but if i did a direct swap would i have to splice?

I know someone did the swap in their e36 m3, I saw a vid of it. I think he had a lot of pics somewhere, and he had to modify the wiring harness.

I forget what his user name is, it is something like kazavakia.

kav? used a tech3 to run that car.

yea, i think was one of the first people to run a s54 w/ a stock dme. i want a setup that runs off a stock dme and not aem or tec3. i should probably ask him wat needs to be wired.. but that would be an essay of a response.

i just want to know if its possible to run only the s54 wire harness..

Its been done several time now. I'm looking at this myself and supercharging it.check out wee todd did racing dot com. Also check out prostreetonline dot com. A pic of the conversion. This was an old thread from last yr, I'm sure you can search it out.
