    S54 into E36 - Wiring Questions

    I'm putting an S54 into my E36, I have the following wiring harnesses:

    1.) Z3M S54 Engine Harness
    2.) Kassel Performance E36/S54 Adapter
    3.) E46 M3 Ignition Harness
    4.) E46 M3 Engine / Tran Harness


    I have the following questions:
    1.) Where does the plug I labeled "C6" in the "S54 Engine/Trans Harness" go?
    2.) Where does the plug I labeled "C4" in the "S54 Engine/Trans Harness" go?
    3.) Where does the plug I labeled "C5" in the "S54 Engine/Trans Harness" go? I assume it goes to what I labeled "C5" in the "Engine Harness", but would like to confirm!
    4.) Where does the plug I labeled "C11" in the "Engine Harness" diagram go?
    5.) Where does the plug I labeled "C3" in the "S54 Ignition Harness" diagram go?
    6.) Where does the plug I labeled "C7" in the "S54 Engine/Trans Harness" go?, I assume somewhere in transmission?
    7.) Where does the plug I labeled "C8" in the "S54 Engine/Trans Harness" go?,I assume somewhere in transmission?

    Hopefully others may find my drawings useful. Thanks, Jeff

    So I spoke to Jim at Kassel (very informative!, thanks Jim)....

    1.) "C6" goes to ebox fan - not used on e36
    2.) "C4" in the "Engine/Tran Harness" goes to "C3" in the Ignition Harness
    3.) "C5" goes where I thought
    4.) "C11" goes to the purge valve
    5.) see question 2
    6.) C7 goes to reverse
    7.) C8 goes to gearbox position sensor (not used in my 5 speed application)
