I've searched the forum a bit and I'm just curious to see how everyone's engine bay turned out. I'd start with some pics, but I just have an empty engine bay awaiting...

Originally posted by JarvisCan you please post specs of what is done to that engine?
Custom ITG CAI w/heatshield
Euro MAF
Dinan BBTB
24lb injectors
UUC Underdrive pullies
Schrick Cams (264/256)
Ferrea Sodium filled +2mm oversized intake/exhaust valves
Ferrea Ti retainers/dual valve springs
TMS Competition port and polish of all intake/exhaust surfaces
TMS shorty headers
Euro race metallic cats
TriFlow e30 M3 Exhaust
All 100% SS custom exhaust fabrication
Custom tuning (dozens of hours)
8.5lb UUC Stage 2 LWFW
Spec Stage 3 Clutch
The most noticeably raucous mods were the complete exhaust system, and the top end work. It's no longer just "uncivilized", it's completely, utterly obnoxious and raw. My wife has a 2003 e46 330Xi, and when she has her factory alarm on, just starting my car next to hers will set her alarm off. I love the feel of all N/A power. I could have S/C'd (or Turbo'd) it for insane power, but I want reliability and longevity. I want my child to be able to drive this car when the time comes. It'll do for now.

That thing sounds like an utter fucking beast. With an agressive exhaust this thing get attention but I could only imagine what a new head would do to it. Its awesome that you got european spec ballpark with it, it tells me there is a lot more of the displacement left to be used in my motor.Im now E30less.

Originally posted by bmw332iIt is a beast. According to TMS, it is their most powerful non-race N/A (not including MoTec s52's) customer s52 they've done. What I'd really like now is to try and do ITB's and a CF airbox. I'd have to go stand-alone EMS (mnost likely MoTec) though, from what I hear from the e30 M3 guys.Im now E30less.

Is Dbilas the only place that would have the ITB's for the s52? I know BMP makes them for the m50, but I am not sure if they would work on an s52. Anybody know for sure? I don't mind spending money on my car, but only if I know that said mod will work (albeit with crazy tuning time). I'm hot and bothered by BMW's with CF airboxes. I saw Will Turner's e46 M3 when I was picking my car up once, and he popped the hood so I could take some pics. Boooooiiiiiiiinnnnnnngggggg!

Thanks,
