I have seen another e30 M3 with euro S52 and original booster. The plenum had to be cut and welded, while the intake airhorn had to be tilted. I don't think it is nice.

I install original booster with cutted airbox :(

Do you have any pics of this ?????

It's necessary to install this acumulator with this swap?

So how do you bypass this if its not really necessary? I'm doing my swap and I'm trying to get rid of things I don't really need. Anyone have any suggestion? If I remove the canister, what should I do with the underlying hose line? should I just plug it up and hide it somewhere? Or ?????? help?

[Mike B.]

A stock E30M3 sway will fit with adjustable links, but the arms will not be parallel to the ground. A 25mm bar is a no go with the stock headers.

I notched the subframe to clear the headers and it worked like a charm.

I try to install when the car was unloaded

Clearance will be sufficient to install manifolds without problems?


Many thanks ;)

Easy way is to try it. If it doesn't work then figure out what plan B is.

While the front tires are loaded or unloaded? Mine hits when the car is unloaded, but not a problem when the tires are on the ground.



Secondary air pump for emissions.

Agree...I like the engine stand....haven't seen one like that before.

I try to install s50 exhaust manifolds and they hits front stabilizer.

Any solution?

i'm puzzled by the fact that you have so many pulleys there...what is below the a/c compressor??

oh and freakin kick ass swap, that engine stand is quite cool.

That's an emissions air pump. I removed mine.

My headers had clearance issues with both the swaybar and the front subframe.
I had to use a torch and hammer to clearance the front subframe for the headers. I just removed the swaybar, and haven't had a good solution to that one yet.

Mr. Hammer + Mr. blow torch :)



I'm going to be going down this road real soon :)

I left mine in and I passed emissions with not issues. It seems to be personal preference. I certainly don't think it hurts anything in there

[BigD]

Nah, it's for emissions only. I bypassed it, but you have to figure out an adapter from the little nozzle on the evap valve to the fuel line size.
