x3 beta swap engine mount pics??
Hi guys, I'm in the process of doing a beta swap in my x3.. I'm lucky as my donor car is an x3 but I'm unsure of the drivers side mount/ pass side for those of us who sit on the wrong side of the car...
The engine seams to be sitting crooked in the engine bay.. are there any pics of peoples mounts that they have fabbed up?? I can only find pics of one purchased from betaswapshop.com
Cheers
Will

Just some info for the guys here, William's X3 is a RHD [Aussie] SOHC and the donor car is a DOHC with Beta 2.0l so in his case he will need to see a fabricator to "make" a engine mount for the drivers side where the LHD x3 it would be the passenger side.

Cheers tom!! Although what really seams to spin Americans out is the fact that we are also from the future!! Lol
Thanks xgodzx I had read all those ones except the last one... I loled when he explained his first session on the drag strip with the turbo setup...
One thing that has me fairly confused is the trans situation.. I have no idea what's in the black car but I suspect a alpha trans.. if you use all the factory mounts how can the engine be further over when using the beta trans except if it is phiysiclly smaller??
