Nice - so easily done. We can all forgive you for the Futuras now.

I actually emailed VR Wheels yesterday about getting them fixed... so that's happening, finally.

I ransacked the junk yard again for parts that I may or may not need. I'm not terribly sure. I figured I'd rather have more junk than not enough junk lol

I'm building an M52 for my 4 door e30 as well, I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress.

Grabbed an M50 manifold from the junkyard today.

Nice! I have an OBD1 manifold leftover from my blow'd up s50, has all new hoses and stuff

Plus a set of S50 cams and cam trays? Give him a package deal

I would go OBD2 if you can. Though I would look for an OBD1 intake manifold while you're at it

Cirrus Blue >>>> Glacier Blue

+1, Cirrus is better, though I'd take your car over mine any day of the week..

I'm thinking I'm just gonna keep an eye out for some S52 cams at a decent price.

As for today, I start tearing down the engine. I found some cut wires, and hoses... so those will be fun to sort out. I also determined it is a B28... I wasn't entirely sure before lol

I'm also still on the fence of OBD2 vs OBD1... I did already pick up an OBD2 DME with the EWS bypassed.

Here's the engine in all its disgusting glory





Stuffed away in the corner for now



Along with a box of shit that may or may not make it back on the engine...



I'm also keeping a beer tally for this swap.

3 down,

As for the ZHP intake/M50NV exhaust setup, it seems like a lot of work to time them right vs the S50/2 cams.

For most it's a pain, but if you're used to degreeing your cams it's a good way to save $$. S52 cams are most definitely a more simple solution!

Riots aren't worth it anymore. When they were ~$500 including core, sure. Now that they're double that, I don't know why you wouldn't just buy some schricks for another $50.
