swap almost done, need help with a few hoses, etc!!

[318tian]

so im almost done with my m52 swap and have a few loose ends that i couldnt find answers to in j!ms manual or on here.


(using 4cyl radiator)
- which top radiator hose should i try to cut and use? e36 one looks like it would hit the fan blades.

- the hose from the coolant expansion tank to the engine block is way too long, it tries to loop down on engine mount and p/s pump. e36 one im not sure but i think goes all the way to the e36 reservoir on other side and is longer??

- brake booster breather hose: niether one seems to fit as they are ridgid with only one angle. thinking about just using some rubber hose for this.

- hose from power steering rack to reservoir is too short. probably just get some hose from parts store.

- there is one ridgid hose and a long vacuum hose by the fpr,i left 4cyl fpr on, i believe i use the ridgid hose on the fpr and block the vacuum line for missing exhaust flap valve?

i left the stock gas breather valve on without the big e36 can thing. for the most part the swap was not too challenging. i didnt get to pull the 6cyl myself, and I've been sourcing parts for months. should have it ready for ews coding at a shop in dallas then muffler shop for a y-pipe to my hartge exhaust soon. at some point ill dig around in the manual and add the mpg and speed sensor wires. i think there are a couple other wires that go to the m52 diagnostic plug as well that may be needed for some sort of programing???. i havent had my ti since last summer.

someone help me get this thing finished!!!

only 2 items you listed above were issues for me:
- P/S hose - purchased a longer generic rubber hose.
- brake booster hose - same thing; generic rubber hose.

Thanks for the help. I'll probably go that route on those 2. Wish I knew what to do about radiator and coolant hose with the 4cyl radiator.. its almost brand new but I guess ill source a 6cyl radiator.

i purchased all cooling hoses (S52 fitment) when I did my swap including a new 6cylinder radiator. I even replaced the heater valve hoses on the firewall. I figure while I was in there....
