    Default s50b30 in an e30 4 pot info wanted

    im seriously looking at putting an e36 3.0 m3 engine s50b30 into an e30
    the e30 is originally a 4 cylinder

    so obviously i need the
    - engine
    -engine loom ecu
    -gearbox
    -propshft
    -radiator

    but here are where my questions start

    i dont need the key etc if i go alpha n right ?

    will the manifolds work without modification ie. clear the steering rack

    what do people do for mounts or do the match up

    does the standard sump work- clear the subframe ?

    do i need to uprate the fuel pump (i assume i do)

    is there a wiring pinout done for this conversion

    is there much wiring to this conversion if i use alpha n
    just positive and negative and switched positive to the ecu or is there more ??

    have looked around on the internet but havnt all i found were pictures of completed conversions really !

    just trying to get an idea what involved in this conversion

    Give me a shout if you need any help or info on it. It's all very straight forward though.

    The keys won't be needed for Alpha-N but if its a road car, I probably wouldn't go Alpha-N as they are quite lumpy on idle with it. The Evo engines are a good bit more refined when running on it.
