BMW 130i
Hello
After reading a lot of posts around this forum and the Renault forum website iv concluded that instead of rebuilding my existing D4F engine (because its drinking and blowing oil) that I will get the parts together and do an engine swap.
I am wanting to complete a full engine swap over to the 2.0 lump from either the 172 or 182.
Iv read through a fair few posts for this and I can't find a good enough detailed post/guide which states the exact parts required and/or the parts which from the existing car can be reused.
I believe the below parts begin the list of parts I am going to require:
- 172/182 Full engine
- Sport front subframe
- Engine wiring loom
- Sport gearbox
- Engine mounts
- ECU set (ECU, Transponder Ring, Transponder Chip, BSI Unit and Ignition Barrel)
- Exhaust manifold and complete exhaust system from Sport
I believe I require other wiring looms, but which do I require?
Once I finish the conversion I hope to produce a full guide for the engine swap to help others after
Just wanting to know what other parts are required and any problems which can be encountered.
Iv got a complete rear beam from a 172 coming during the week and so will have this fitted this weekend.
The car is already modified as below:
- K&N Panel filter, aluminium cold air feed
- K- Tec racing uprated and lowered suspension kit (40mm)
- Polybush replacement anti roll and wishbone kits
- OMP Front and Rear strut braces (Anthracite)
- AST Solid top strut mounts
- K-tec racing Camber adjustment bolts (+/-3deg)
- Renault Megan 16" Sport alloys - on Goodyear Eagle F1 (195/45's)
- Brembo MAX brake discs, Green stuff pads and HEL Stainless steel brake lines
- Engine Dynamics quick shift link
- Full wheel bolt stud conversion kit (50mm studs)
- Laser cut 5mm aluminium spacers
Any help would be much appreciated?
