S52 finally!

This was a hassle.

As I need to run the O2 wire from the motor to the gauge for my PSB-1 I looked for a passthrough, finding nothing, I searched for 20+ minutes, closest I came was a thread on Bimmerforums with derision over asking where the firewall was.

I am pretty sure had my interior not been gutted I would not have found this, passenger (right) side (US car) it exits behind the aux air pump.

I also need to run 2 wires to get the oil & water temp data to the gauges.

This literally kept me up last night worrying that I would not get it in/get the wires where they needed to be.

Can’t wait to see it with the new interior!

M Roadster hard rubber differential bushing.

Turned out the heater core needs to come out to "properly" r&r the rug. No.

Exhausted, need to figure out the best way to cut the "new" carpet to get it in.






Had to pull, push, pry & cut the rug out, these were the tools.

[parkerbink]

Slowly disassembling the interior, all that remains are passenger under dash, dash & carpet.



Proof of concept on the amp complete.

[parkerbink]

It has begun.....



Ran the remote turn on for the sub amp & RCAs to the trunk.

[parkerbink]

Got the 90 degree hose, cut it down & got it pretty well together.

[parkerbink]

Black plastics cleaned & ready. Waiting for blue sun visors & a header panel that goes under the sunvisors across the inside top of the windshield.

[parkerbink]

I like my fog lights but to fit the air filter the driver side had to go, not having one so these went in.

Thanks 2mAn for the vents!

[parkerbink]

Last piece of the puzzle, carpet came!



SC fully tucked in & finally good, now comes the remote tuning. Still need to install the PSB-1.

[parkerbink]

Dialing it in & getting the the hood to close & run properly is an adventure, attempt #5, not running right yet.




Dash & the rest of the black interior parts (except carpet) came.

Great thread! Just in time for that sweet boost weather.

[parkerbink]

It's done!

That exhaust looks great there! Let's hear it.
