MIKe30's 11:1 cammed OBD2 s52 build

[MIKe30]

As of today, both rear m3 trailing arms are now on. Had trouble removing passenger side ebrake cable, absolutely just wont come off (same goes for rotor allen screw). Looks like I may have to cut the cable and fish in a new one if I want to keep my ebrake bits.

Rear axles are not on either, have to get them off the old trailing arms. They didnt want to budge with a 30mm socket I had, so I took them off at the diff. Don't know how I'm going to remove that axle nut, but I'm going to have to figure it out. At least the car is supporting its own weight now, and I can tow it to my house if need be. Waiting on calipers to finish being sprayed/rebuilt. Anyway, it's some progress. Slow but steady.

I just did a OBD II S52 with EWS in my M3, The wiring is not to bad. I would be happy to share my diagrams with you. Just shoot me a PM.

Excellent! Just shot you a pm. Between this and etxxz's thread I should be alright

New question: I'm keeping obd2, I plan on buying an over the counter harness adapter by someone like a treehouse racing and having my rear o2 sensors, secondary air pump, and ews deleted through software tune. Anyone see a reason why this would NOT work?

[QUOTE=MIKe30;1584168]11:1 forged CP pistons and stock rods. From what I understand these stock rods are plenty strong for upwards or 700whp (well something insanely high like that, don't quote me on the exact number)[QUOTE]

Thanks, only curious because i am using Wiseco .025 overbore pistons right now for my rebuild from Turner with stock rods and everything else. Will upgrade to cams later...not sure what my compression will be though.

bimmerworld will do your DME. iirc they quote me $200 for what you're asking + something like $75 for a mild tune (i/h/e). the harness adapter i don't know how OTC it would be. i just made one w/ ewsII for a fellow r3v'er. have made both of my cars. maybe you'll want to pm me and we'll work on the specs... oor go to my obdII thread and make your own

Uhh, do you mean $75 extra on top of the $500 custom engine tune he needs? I would go with Bimmerworld either way for a tune, b/c they have the MOST experience with tuning Sunbelts. ;)

must have missed it, but which pistons are you using? Stock rods?

lol..like none of you have ever seen a MasterCard commercial...

exactly. Priceless.



3rd e30; 8-10k and counting :giggle:

I hope it's priceless and worth it. Easily over 15 into this one and counting.

sounds good brother. didnt really want to sit down and do it, BUT i know I really should. And then I can only blame myself if it's wrong.. I remember reading your thread during my decision process of staying obd2 or not.


and to those talking about money dumped into these pits... really, I'm going to throw up if i do the numbers in my head again.

I am around 13G's deep. And thats with already having the motor and getting my tranny on the cheap :)

Besides, wallet is taking a BEATING :(

Brother, I hear you on that one. I am so #&^%$#ing far over budget on this car, I refuse to look at my total outlay at this point. It would be utterly masochistic.

Front 5-lug on, calipers for front and rear being sprayed today. Rear rotors are in, front will be in tomorrow. Hoping to get the M trailing arms on today, then bolt calipers/brakes on tomorrow after work.

i would have bought a metal impeller water pump but everything else looks good!

how bought some progress pics?

thanks, actually did some searching on here before choosing between the two. Looks like more than one person has received defective brand new graf metal impeller water pumps. So I went with their recommendation of new oem. Was going to get a stewart, but wallet is hurting, my daily just got hit - almost head on, need to start drawing the line somewhere. So oem it was.

I'll try to get some today if I remember
