    K20Z3 swap help

    For anyone who has done a Z3 swap please I need your help.

    I was able to get my hands on a Z3 for cheap and I wanted to swap it in my EP.

    I just wanted to know does the a3 a/c compressor fit the z3. The alternator doesn't fit so I was wondering about the compressor. I got a ton of questions but I figure one at a time is better than trying to just rush you guys


    Thanx for any help you can give...

    Thanks a lot man

    k0o... well the problem is the alternator my buddy brought from an a3 didnt sit completely flush on the mounting points... like the two bottom bolts were perfect but then there would be a gap between the top of the alternator and the engine (like i need spacers kind of a gap)... I could be wrong though anyone got some input on this?

    What were the exact modifications did you have to do to get the ep3 cluster to work with a Z trans? Please feel free to be detailed...

    i actually got my type s tranny on the z3 because i didnt have the money and time to have to deal with the cluster/harness and the mount problem.i needed my car up and running as it was my only way of transportation.
