[QUOTE="seech, post: 368236, member: 4572"] To all the German/Jap sifu's.... Recently my M50B20 kaput... Can read the rest of the sad story here: [url]http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29046[/url] Am considering between M50B25 swap and also 1JZ. Spoke to my mech which has done plenty of 1J/2J/RB swaps in other vehicles but not an E34. Got a few questions: - What type of intercooler do you run and where do you put it? I would like to maintain stock look of the car so a front mount which requires cutting the bumper is not acceptable. There doesn't seem to have enough space on the right front of the engine bay to fit the side mount intercooler. Any feedback? - The battery has to be moved also so I assume that most have moved it under the rear seat. - Do you mount the 1JZ ECU in the same place as the M50 ECU or do you move it inside the car? - What sort of air intake do you have? Does the original 1JZ airbox fit? - Do you reuse the stock exhaust (M50B20) or has everyone changed to custom built one? Appreciate the assistance. Need to decide soon as no car to use right now....
