S52 Swap

[xwill112x]

I think he already knows everything about these cars and motors. We shouldnt help because all of us who have done this are so stupid.

wtf, i can work on a m42, thats about it...

thats where my knowledge ends. (for bmw's that is)

i can take a m20 apart, but im not really a expert on them.

where do you get im a "know it all" at?

for real ppl.

it really is appreciatd.

Should I just delete my rundown of what driveshafts and trannies work for your application then? Because you'll obviously never need them...

So far I'm the only one to say anything helpful in this thread. Yeah, I'm a real dick. Go fuck yourself.

dAMN! OK please quit posting asking what to use for this swap, go read THIS and come back asking for help if you ever get this going AFTER you have for answers and need help 2 years down the road...


This subject has been exhausted and gone over so many times that honestly the 24v thread could be locked and you could still get the job done when needed...



Shit I am going to get flamed for providing that, oh well!






THIS is also a great read for 24v e30 swaps...

not true... I have posted helpful things as well YOU ASS!! lol


:twisted:

ah yes, the Advance Auto on Country Club

you needed a heater hose for an 318is about two weeks ago, right?

yep.


ive desided to work my way towards a m52/s52 swap....

eventualy..


i was trying to get back ground info, since i'm familiar with the m42...

but i do have a shitload of m20/325 parts for sale if u need any....for cheap

[Fidhle007]

I'm just going to be serious for a moment here because I think I'm the only professional in this thread so far. (I haven't been paying attention though...)

As far as I've heard you can actually keep the drivetrain from an M42 car and just bolt the motor up but don't expect your tranny to last long. The 260 out of a 325i works with a custom brace because it will have to sit rotated 15˚ off it's normal location. the best plan by far is the E36 ZF tranny and a driveshaft out of a 328i, but this will require a final drive change as it has a 1:1 5th gear and will be stupid short otherwise.

you dont have to be a dick about everything.

no but it sure as hell sounds like you need to be!

[madjurgen]

There's so much wrong in this you have to be joking right?

well actually, i found that a getrag 260 will work (i think) only problem will be starter and flywheel teeth?


but the drive shaft will have to be shortened...and balanced.

i will custom fab mounts, etc.. ( i can weld)


all the wiring and ecu shit i can get out of a totalled m3, so thats not a prob.


happy now?
