This weekend my friends and I unbolted an S38 from an 88' M5 and plan to install it in my CS asap.
For those who've installed S38's please help with some questions I need to solve.
1.) The connection from the motor to the fuse box has 10+ wires. Does anyone have a diagram of what wires need to be used and what they are for?
2.) Power steering - Is there a difference between the CS and M5 and if I use the CS unit, will the pulley's align with belts?
3.) AC pump - My CS system blows cold and has been upgraded, should it be changed to the M5. Will the CS unit's pulley align with belts?
4.) Fuel lines - Is there a way to pull the fuel lines through the body?
5.) Fuel Tank - Any tricks to tapping a return line?
6.) My CS already has a 265/5 in it. Is it possible to install the motor with a 265/5 trans mounted and access the bolts at the top of the engine/trans?
7.) Will the M5 rear suspension and LSD differential bolt in?
8.) Has anyone tried to install M5 brakes on the front of a CS?
9.) 2002tii Brake Booster - Does anyone know where to find one in stock? Is there an alternate I can purchase?
Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Greg
