Hey everyone. I finally have my turbo m52 swap running and am looking to actually make my first test drive hopefully tomorrow. I have had the car running multiple times for upwards of 10-15 minutes, but I just can't seem to get the coolant system to bleed properly. I know these cars are notoriously hard to bleed, I have had several e30's e36's, e46's, and e39's, but I just can't seem to get this one to bleed.
I have an m52b28 swapped into my car with a 3" triple pass radiator, heater core deleted, throttle body heater lines deleted, and a late model expansion tank. I have an new 80 degree thermostat installed as well as a new waterpump with aluminum thermostat housing.
Unfortunately with this setup there isn't a bleeder screw anywhere. Does anyone have any tips for getting the system bled? I am going to try and jack the front end up tomorrow and run it for a bit to see if that pushes the air out. I have read online that might work, but nothing else really useful. Is there a way to pressure bleed the system like you would do to brakes?
