My e30 318is s52 swap thread

[sharksforthecup]

Far out this is a huggeeeee read! I learnt a shit load tho very informative!

Just thought i would chime in. Ripped out my 3.15 LSD from my E30 M50 and put in a open 3.91 just to see if there was much difference. Seems like i have gone from one end of the scale to the other. Alright torque off the line to being buzzed out of the car with balls of torque! I think i need to sit somewhere in the middle! a 3.46 or 3.64 perhaps?!?

the 3.46 lsd feels damn good with the zf, but thats with an s52....

couple more pics, now im getting somewhere with the blower install, i had to modify the idle pulley to get the bracket on, my next problem is the clearance between the blower and the abs unit. what did others do to fix this, other than pull the abs out?
what do you guys think of the stealthy black unit??

I would like to see some number from a chassis dyno and a drag strip when you get the supercharger hooked up.

You're kidding, right?
Money talks dude, there are no "dibs" in life.

[etxxz]

hah i know you don't have to tell me that ; /
but most forumners live in another world.
fast money tends to talk pretty loudly.

now, there are dibs in life. not everything revolves around money. somethings have more value and i'm not talking materialistically, but it does affect who's money to take...or not take at all.

If it was a Vortech blower, then I'd go grab a loan right now. GL with the sale. :D
