Another S52 swap... but this time with a newb!

[dude8383]

Too bad I'm already running obd2 headers with obd1 midpipes without a cat (straightpipes) in its place. Used e30 flanges on the obd1 midpipes so I could mount the stock e30 muffler. Had to weld laying down under my car so it hangs lower than I would like it to. Gotta fix it later on.

im also using OBDII manifolds and OBDI cats.

at least you can drive the thing now!

Is that what your running? What pipe needs to be modified?

yep, that is exactly what i'm running. i bought this brand new:





the pipe that is closed to the passenger will have to be tweaked slightly so that it can clear the front subframe.

[jahnaboi]

If I had my blow torch and didn't leave it 25 miles away the night I took it out I would have had it done in one night. Took two days one night for it to be completely back together.

[Naplm00]

how long did it take you to drop the rear subframe and replace the bushings?

[dude8383]

or you could get e36 cats/midpipes and e36 catback...you'll have to modify one of the exhaust pipes but its factory shit that won't fail..

[e30polak]

I know. But I'm looking for cheaper/better alternatives than the SS replica's. These kind of look like the AA headers as the flanges look like it will mate to a AA track pipe (obd2).

Nothing will be cheaper, and they aren't proven to fail. Just buy them and be doen with it.

[jahnaboi]

Seems rather accurate to me while driving. Oh well, useless stuff in my priorities. Lol.

[chuck90m3]

won't be accurate.

It wont be a dead gauge though, and how accurate is a sweeping needle anyway?

[jahnaboi]

won't be accurate.

So what do I hook it up to? Its a black/purple wire that I don't know what it hooks up to.

[dude8383]

after the swap, will the fuel consumption gauge still work?

won't be accurate.

[Mohammed_A]

Fuel consumption gauge? The black/red wire is for the idle bump for the a/c button when its pushed that needs to be tapped into pin 63 of the 413 dme. Don't know where the "fuel consumption gauge" is suppose to be hooked up to.

Corrected. I had that connector confused with the one I use from the OBC for the road speed input and the fuel economy gauge
