Built Turbo S52 Build - M3 Pesch Kit + More

[Zaun]

Any updates? This car needs to live! Lol

[PROLAZCO]

any updates yet? ;D :hitler:

Bottom left subframe things are already welded up to it.

[MattPro]

In all my past builds I've always build from the drivetrain up, but after some consideration I think I'm going to do this build differently.

So the first thing I had ordered is full subframe/trailing arm reinforcements and the 2nd diff mount from Garagistic.

The Pesch kit is currently in the mail, so hopefully that should be here any day now. As soon as it comes in, I will probably send the car off to have some welding done and a half cage built (I want to safely drive the car on the street).

After that I'll move on to focusing on the drivetrain.

those manifolds are erotic

[IronFreak]

This is what I saved from FB:

"Full stainless 304L material. Unlike other manifolds on the market. We use stainless head flange and turbo flange. Wastegate priority and back purged. "Wastegate priority for zero boost creep which is a common issue on Bmw manifolds"
All Manifolds were Dyno tested!!!"



Haven't actually ordered yet but I talked with him for a little bit.

The look like a good design, as long as the quality is there that't not a bad price for a custom manifold.

Just tuning in to keep up... Hope it gets done this season!

Also curious about your manifold. As far as my knowledge was concerned there was no top mount twin scrolls being produced for us 24v guys. Only reason why I've kept my goodntight for so long.

edit: can you send me a facebook link in PM or just friend me on FB? Chas Sudol is the name.

Sub'd!

likin both of your cars. Sedan looks like its been a fun one - but maybe the fun has only just begun! Good luck with the latest project.

It definitely has been! I just got too tired of rust, happy to finally be starting from scratch.

What manifold did you go with / do you already know that it will clear the strut tower? I wanna get something other than the Good and Tight one, but there doesn't seem to be much that is confirmed fitment.

I've been talking to a guy on facebook who makes twinscroll manifolds for 24v e30 cars, when I place an order I'll ask if he has a website/shop name and post it here for sure!

Yay - glad someone picked up where he left off - and hopefully finish it! I still wanna get a Pesch kit too.

I just hope I can do it justice!

Me too...

I'm so glad it's going to live on, I was so close to scrapping it.

Matt got one hell of a deal on it and some parts.
