My S52 Swap Thread

[Stu]

You'll have a blast with it!
What transmission and rearend are you planning to use?
Suspension/braking system?
Do you plan to track it?

Sorry for all the questions

The plan right now is to go Getrag 260 and 3.73 LSD rear. I have the ZF box as well but no driveline for it at the moment. I have H&R springs with Bilstein Sport shocks. I'll probably do IE sways as well. The car is going to be a daily/track toy. I can't wait.

I'll get more pics up as time goes on. Probably a bunch this weekend because that's when I'm going to work on it next.

Good man need more pics!

I need to swap into something a little more powerful!

Damn that engine bay looks clean...

Screw buying an adapter for the hose, I'll make my own!


OBDI Crank sensor installed


OBDII Cars have only one temp sensor and a bung, OBDI needs two sensors, luckily early 96 heads have the extra spot filled with a plug, no complicated drilling required. I win again.

Great progress man. Get er done!

If I weren't working on it only one day a week it already would be done. I wish I had more time to devote to this.
