A Few Pics of my OBDI S52

[WillisE30]

I thought some of you might enjoy the pics of the "finished" product. I have a few odds and ends to take care of but the wiring and other important pieces are done. Enjoy.


Engine bay




Exhaust, 2.5'' stainless steel with mandrel bends. It was fabricated by a shop near Vancouver, WA called English Racing, they do first rate work as you can see.

OBD1 doesnt throw codes for the cat because it cant compare the primary O2s to the secondary O2s, cause it doesnt have secondary O2s.

I was going to say the same thing! I bet there is a bump in the floor now!

If there are bumps you can just kick them out. My car was picked up by a forklift at some point, so thats how I know.

Awesome car by the way.

I did that, the pinch rail is already toast there, and no there isn't a bump in the floor. Nothing deformed. You'd be shocked where you can lift vehicles...

I did all the work on the vehicle myself, I was lucky enough to be able to do it at work on the weekends so I had the use of the shop hoist and a few other tools that made life easier.

If I find another one for that price I'm going to boost it and shove it in and E34 wagon. :p

I'm not really sure what to expect. It's got most of the basic bolt ons, exhaust, injectors, 540 HFM, and a TMS chip. It barks the hell out of the tires in third, and that is with shifting well below redline. I'll be curious to see.
