The new whip / build ! 91 325i

[SSR-125]

Got the caps and trays with the cams too! UUC Twin Disk w/ UUC flywheel on the way.. Capable of 700+ whp.. Yes Its expensive but drive ability will be 100 times better! Along with this, a precision 6266 gen 2 duel ball bearing.. These 2 items definitely hit the wallet.. $1800 for the clutch twin disk set up and $1600 for the Turbo.. :( Will be worth it in the end though, ARP studs and MLS .140 gasket is next to order on the list. Stay posted!

So the turbo came in! Went with a Precision 6266 Gen 2 T3 .82 A/R Duel Ball Bearing
(Got it a little dirty after touching it with my greasy hands after working on the engine) lol

Also got the engine on the stand! I started tearing it apart! Tomorrow is to remove everything on the other side, tape off everything and paint the block black. Anything will look better than this surface rust. Going to use a wire wheel and then paint it with some high temp paint that i got from home depot, hopefully it doesn't come out too bad! More updates soon to come!

Thats my s50 in the background! (Vert build soon)





Also ordered some new gaskets!
-Oil pan gasket
-Vanos gasket
-Intake manifold gaskets
-Valve cover gasket
-oil filter housing gasket
-rear main seal

Removed all the accessories and oil filter housing ect. Started cleaning up the block, but still not where i want it to be. Going to remove head and have it machined and cleaned ect. Here are some before and after pictures!

Change of plans... Got a s50 for a nice price.. ;) Going s50 turbo. I have 2 m52's need to get rid of 1 and maybe swap the other in this pretty clean convertible that i have..
Here is some pictures! Head is going to the machine shop tomorrow ! Will be doing a CES cut ring gasket / copper spacer instead of a MLS gasket. Going a different route. Shooting for 500-550 on a 93 / pump e85 mix (E50). Stay posted!








and yes.. that is a Dakar yellow m3 in the background that is almost finished being parted with. Was hit in the front..
