    2.8L BMW m52 I believe.

    Looks great btw. I've ridden in a semi-gutted s52 e30 before and it was unreal. I can't imagine a turbo 24v

    Bingo. With head gasket and studs the M52 will hold up to 25psi. Should be fun!

    Look up Ulysses aka Cardcounter on bimmerforums or youtube. He was running 10's in a 328i sedan with stock internals, full interior, etc. The only thing different looking from stock cosmetically is Kosei K1's, lowered, and a cf hood. After months of daily driving it at 600+whp he stuck it on a dyno for a day until they reached 704whp and bent a rod. He already had another engine he was working on, completely built M52 and runs 9's pushing 996whp.

    He babies it off the line because the car hooks and breaks things, plus e36's (& e46's) are well known for ripping the subframes out of the floor. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...92940614601810

    New engine, 9.93 @152 mph

    I'll be happy with 360 whp at 10-12psi in a sub 2,400 lb. car. That's still probably 100hp too much for that car on a road course I'm in the Gwinnett area but it's still far from anything pretty to look at. Trying to get motivated to go down and pull the M10 out of my car now!

    Are you planning on running Megasquirt or just a chip?

    I know there's a 9 sec e30 with an m52 also, I can't seem to find it though. Can't go wrong for the money, the motor costs a fraction of what you'll pay for an s5x.

    I'm still debating, this is a single VANOS engine and it's on the fence about MS working with it or not. I'm looking at the eMS-Pro but TRM's chipped ECU is basically plug and play for a little less and includes tuning. Right now I'm just going to run a Bosch 413 DME until I put the turbo on.

    I think you're talking about Donovon Marvin aka BMWSOB. He's one of the few online that have videos of an M52 turbo in an e30. The M52 has a lot more meat between the cylinders so it's far stronger and safer for boost. M50/M52 & S50/S52 are all the same block casting anyways, the motorsport engines are just a bored out version.

    Definitely! I despise working on other peoples street cars because of that. Every time I changed the oil in my Integra I'd wipe down the undercarriage and suspension lol. OCD? Maybe!

    Clean or go home!
