Here are some pics. I will work on sound clip once I fix an annoying exhaust leak.

Looks like a S50 to me, not a S52.

A very clean install, one of the nicest I've seen.

Some people use the S52 valve cover to make it look like an S50 for smog regulations -- that way it looks like OBD1.Originally posted by Jordan
But you are right, they also put the shitty cast iron manifolds onto the engine.
I also think you should dump the engine fan.Comment

So it's supposed to be an s52 converted to obd1...what's the definitive way to tell - I need to make sure I didn't get ripped off....

Well externally just looking at a few things...Originally posted by gae30
Exhaust manifolds are S50
Pink top injectors are S52
Valve cover is S50
real way??? get vin number. Even this can be tricky. The cylinder head contains a vin number. I cannot remember if the actual engine block does or not either. S50 heads do fit S52 bottom ends and vice versa -- therefore the only *real* way as far as i know is to measure the crank stroke on the bottom end. I am sure there are probably some different markings on the blocks between S50 and S52, but I do not remember them.Comment

I always thought S52 had individual throttles ??
Or is it only the euro version ?Comment

Looks sick. Very clean install, and yes that cone filter is gigantic.
What suspension are you running? Great stance.Reminiscing...Comment

Be honest with you - I was a little suprised at how big the filter is - it really doesn't fit all that well - may have to swap it out in the near future - doing the job now - thoughOriginally posted by M42Tecknik
The suspension - that's a tough one - it was on the car when I got it - but this is what I know - it's HR springs that drop the car about 1.5 inches all the way around. Also as part of the conversion I ended up with these:
They allow for clearance of the exhaust headers...Comment

Thanks. It would be more of a sleeper if it weren't so damn throaty - it's hard to suprise someone in this car....Originally posted by royalflush313Comment

Looks like an awesome car, I really want my next E30 to be a 4 door I think.
What exhaust are you or will you be running with the swap?Comment
