S52 Swap

[Fidhle007]

the swap can be done for 1k all said and done (including custom exhaust, ebay headers) with junk yard parts...

but OP, your 1500 budget doesnt include any sort of m3 engine

What swap can be done for $1k? A crappy, tired M50 $400+; Ebay headers $200; custom exhaust $500; Oil pan and sump $300; assuming you use your ancient 260 and driveshaft then there's either labor to make a brace or a DougSic one $100... There's still motor and tranny mounts, lots of misc seals and some sort of wiring harness. And that's being cheap about it, to do it right would be a lot more expensive then that. I did mine for $3k and I got a screaming deal on everything that was used and wholesale on all the new parts I used.

so does the getrag 260 and e30 325 drive shaft work or not?

[e30s52]

not counting motor.
i know that will cost atleast 2000$

but thats for all the other shit, parts, fabbing, etc..


i'm not that stupid..

hahaha you have no clue. My s52 cost me around 3500ish then putting in it in the car around 4ish.

Go search then maybe come back or better yet ask your friend and not us. Its annoying as hell to answer this same question once a week. Use the fucking search BUTTON!!!!!!!!:hitler:

i have for the last time.
damn people.



i'm just clarifying things.

holy shit you ppl make a huge controversy over nothing.

[Fidhle007]

why dont you do some searching on ebay??

they have like 10-15 s52's for $2500<


and no there not 220k pos's


but i dont even intend on buying from ebay, i plan on buying a wrecked m3, and getting the motor out of it, then parting the rest of the car.

thats why i need to know what all works from a e30...bc e36 m3's aren't cheap...even totaled

make sence?

No, I don't make sence. There's a Sence factory down the street that makes sence but they're going out of business in a few months.

Seriously kid, do a whole lot of reading and then if you still have questions you can come ask us. Or if you want to bring the car up to my shop I'll get it swapped for you in a timely fashion and it will work right the FIRST TIME but it's going to cost WAY more than $1500...

BEFORE i invest int obuying a totalled m3 just to get the motor out of, i'd just like to know what all E30 works, and what all e30 doesnt.

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=98494&highlight=s52+318is

ive been reading that thread, and it seems as if everything e30 didnt work, and thats DEF gonna hold me up, bc i dont want to buy a m3, then be ready to drop the motor, and the shit not work.

Wow thats a really good come back. So you have no imagenetion and cant use a search button. Good luck with that buddy.

On the other hand I already did this swap when I was 17 and maybe ask 4 questions. Learn to use the search button please. It will really help you out.

I don't think you're in a place to be telling anyone to shut up. As a matter of fact I'm going to tell you to shut up. Shut the Fuck Up, actually. It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool then to open it and remove all doubt.

[e30s52]

What are you looking for? it most likey is in the the 24v thread.
