obd1 s52 e30 TMS\shrick cam install

[loonibab325i]

So dr vanos stopped by as well as a few e36-tech buddies, got my turner motorsport cam kit in as well as the dr vanos stage 2 vanos kit.

I wasn't lieing when I said "my dad ran over my cams" (in my own car), thank god they were ok..

emm shrick..

stoked!



gettin startedd


Dr. Vanos (chris) doing his thing!


In like sin :D

Aaron and Harolds car



Install went great, besides when 2 pintle caps from the injector dropped into my head!! Removed both caps by using shish-kabob sticks and 6 pieces of chewed up gum!!

I gota give props to Dr. Vanos, did the whole cam and vanos install with little to no help from me, but.. that's why u pay the guy haha.. what's cool is that it took him less then 3 hours to do so... made it look so easy.

Drove the car, and OMG it is a beast... only problem is i need a new fuel pump now hahaha..

Nice gettin a tune for it anytime soon?

How did the pintle caps fall off? Were they broken?

I had this happen to me, but not sure how it fell off. I let mine burn in the 2000*F hell :twisted:.

How's the idle? Is there a noticable lope?

[Van Westervelt]

I have a similar setup with schricks, you do notice the cams over stock at idle. Its not bad. Get that thing on the freeway, thats where you will feel the power change.

i want schricks :(

Especially since I just changed my diff to a 3.23 today from the 3.46 I've had for years. As a track car the 3.46 is just not great at the tracks I'm driving at.

Mazur, 2 caps fell into the head when we pulled the injectors of, i have a feeling it is gona do the same shit next time i have to take them of :S

You just let yours in there? didn't fuck anything up? I'm guessing it's only plastic and i wouldn't see why it would mess things up but i didn't want to take risks.. did yours fall into the cylinder or just sit on top of the valves? i was worried about bustin valves lol..

I just want to be able 2 drive the damn car noww.. the only time i drove it i had my vanos solenoid unplugged like an idiot, so i wasn't seeing full gain of the motor, but what's crazy is that it still felt much faster :D

waiting on a new fuel pump cause i think mine went to shit.

Awesome keep us updated on the results. I really want to know how my car will pull, since I have your exact mods minus the cams!

Didn't screw anything up because 2000*F is going to vaporize a plastic pintle cap.

My pintle cap must have fallen prior to me removing the injector because I saw it resting/stuck on the backside of an open intake valve, broken up so that half of it was missing. I tried to retrieve it, but it just fell all the way in.
