It's gonna be n/a until I sell some of my cars and get some more camera gear...specifically a full frame body. I can make money off a new camera...can't make money, err much :ninja:, off a turbo lol!

I'm still debating on full standalone or a hacked DME...price is about the same but can't make changes with the DME unless I take it back to the same place and have it retuned and reburned.

Just as an example, here's a stock M52 with a GT42 in an e36 with full leather interior that weighs 700lbs more than my car. The car is eased off the line because BMW's are prone to tearing the subframe off the chassis...yet it still traps 140 mph.

10.8 @ 137 mph

10.28 @ 145.77 mph
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFWi7hI9kqA

He purposely blew that engine on the dyno to see what it was capable of...25psi @ 704whp before bending a rod. It runs 9's now with a built m52 making high 99Xwhp lol!



I thought you were keeping it stock? lolWho said that? lol! I'm gonna keep the exterior 100% stock for now, big bumpers and all, bottle caps, with good tires. Then just slightly lowered with springs and shocks. Will be looking for a chassis to build the wide body hatch with. :ninja:

Not to mention when I did have access to an engine hoist (that didn't roll anyways lol) I didn't have engine mounts. Then when I got engine mounts I didn't have a hoist...kinda hard to lift a 450lb engine 4 feet in the air without a hoist or a tree to hang it from. :crazy:

I'm not. And that is true. I personally know how hard it is to swap an m5x/s5x motor into an e30. Even gathering parts for it is tough.

Even gathering parts for it is tough.He's just saying the general population has no clue about BMW's on here...other then "they're expensive". Honestly it's not that difficult or that expensive. I've just been taking my time buying and trading parts as I go so theoretically this car isn't costing me anything. Being "unemployed" twice in the past year doesn't help either lol! I've made back about 75% of what I have put into it though, will be 100% if I sell a few more parts I have acquired since starting the project...or I'll just trade those for something else I need or want on the car lol!

Sure I could go out and pay a shop $5k to do the swap including an M50/52 but what's the fun in that?! The big money will be getting the turbo going...then after that a custom body i've had practically every square inch designed & planned out for the past year lol! I'm positive I'll be getting a new shell for that to build it from scratch...

Lol, I didn't have the time or resources to do the swap on my M3, but I did have the cash so I paid TRM $5,200 or so to do it for me. Looks OEM,lol.
