Swap C32 into E32 (SRT supercharged into NA car)
Re: Swap C32 into E32 (SRT supercharged into NA car)
1. transmission is different
2. suspension is different
3. electronics are different
4. instrument cluster is different
5. brakes are different
6. differential ratio is different
Not sure the engine electronic wiring harnesses are the same even IF you put the srt6 PTCM in the NA.
( but I do believe it has been done )

Yeah I'm not talking about turning it into an SRT... just wondering about pulling the NA motor and dropping in the S/C version. None of the suspension / brakes / diff / dash / etc matters for that, unless the supercharger weighs a bunch or something.
What I am worried about is the ECU, and if it's going to be sad with the manual transmission. (Does it expect a TCU?)

I forgot to mention the dual carbs!

I've just completed one
Mine was SRT (from several donors) into my NA Roadster
Automatic to automatic
My understanding is that you cannot install the manual trams into this setup
The drive shaft is different, the rear components are different as well. You have to flash the ECU to make it compatible. TCU would have to be from an SRT.
Suspension and brakes remain the same
Power steering hoses are different, same steering box, different trans lines at the rad to accommodate the SC cooler
You will also have to run power to the SC Waterpumpnand the secondary air pump
It's doable, it's a question of time and money. The money adds up in a hurry

tighed1 ( DJ ) did not make the paddle shifter kits, Chris ( latemodel21 ) did.

I will bow out at this point and leave it to those with more SRT6 knowledge than I.
Re: Swap C32 into E32 (SRT supercharged into NA car)
A straight swap with nothing else will not work
The secondary air pump and the SC Water cooler require requiring/ new circuit. You will also require an ECU flashed and reprogrammed to make it all speak together.
required are;
new trans lines (by the rad to accommodate the SC cooler.
New PS Hose. NA to SRT Are different.
The engine will fit but needs the SRT wiring or rework of the existing NA
I rewired much of my own items and had Rudy C to reprogram an SRT ECU
Straight swap with nothing else nogp. Lots of work for nothing.
Lots of items need to be changed, once reworked, yes this will work.
Just buy a cheap one as a donor

the cost to do it your way would be close . only you would get this one turn key. jim

Srt and na engines are different, srt is built with lower compression to handle the boost, on a na engine might not be able to handle more than 7 psi, boost raises compression.
