my bone stock looking 318is

[Good & Tight]

Understood. Didn't catch it, but what are your winter DD traction plans?

Traction won't be a problem if he keeps his foot out of it. That's the great thing about a properly sized turbo, it's there when you need it. Driving around normally you can barely tell but press the pedal all the way down and you have 400rwhp instantly.

This is going to be a killer setup with super sleeper looks.

Don't confuse that stuff with Mtriple's butt plugs.

Yeah it'll drop down some, when I switched my H&R race springs from my 318 to my 325 they went down a noticeable amount, and again when the s50 went in.

I'm on H&R Race as well but didn't notice and change in ride height when the S52 went in. Do you have the Getrag or did you swap in a ZF?

new goodies are showing up daily. Got our new manifolds in so I temporarily bolted it up to see how it looks. New Garrett turbo and a south bend clutch. God this gets expensive

Another who can't believe I missed this thread. Epic. EPIC!

I had the getrag, Mark.

Sweet. Now maybe i can get some decent intercooler with a/c pics. Are you gonnah run a slim pusher or just a puller and see how that holds up?

[blunttech]

Im running the ZF box.
Im running a slim pusher for the a/c condensor and a slim puller for the radiator. I basically copied Good n tights set up .. its really tight and i had to cut a lot on the valance. But once bolted on it looks stock. I may just mist my intercooler with black paint so you cant see it at all

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yes, stealth intercooler is a must. Could you send it out to get sprayed with black heat soak paint? I heard about it somewhere, it's like reverse jethot.

How did I miss this thread? Subbed!

[einstein57]

Cool. What are the dimensions?

My rack was seeping ever so little and z3 Mavel racks are so cheap I thought it would be best to just do it while the motors out. I had a 4.0 lock to lock ZF rack and put in a 2.7 lock to lock z3 rack. Bolted right in with spacers and no mods to the universal joint. Just had to trim a tad for clearance and mod the bracket on the inside. 20 minute job. I swapped out the inner tie rods as i thought theyd be cheap ones but it turns out they are OE BMW inner joints.
So now the motor can go in

You going to reinforce your subframe?

You going to reinforce your subframe?

probably should huh??? what are guys doing? What did you do?
My last s52 car I had plates machined out of 1/2" plate and welded them in.

Turner sells a kit. I didn't reinforce mine - my car doesn't see track duty anymore.
