Hi i just buy a 1988 bmw 325 and i wanna put a 2jz in I got thé motor with transmission ecu and everything. I got thé bracket and motor mount to fit for thé bmw e30 and i want to know if i need other thing or need to customize thé tranny or something else ?

nobody ever do or hear about that swap ?

you'll most likely have to get a custom driveshaft made, I doubt the stock one will A) handle the power of a 2jz and B) be the correct size. you'll have to get custom tranny mounts made. custom exhaust, and down pipes if you're going with the TT 2jz. reroute all the cooling lines, ditch the BMW ecu. good luck...
