This is epic. Should be nice and terrifying to drive. As I am sure youve heard before, turn left to go right :p

[JCarp90]

You have my attention.

[knuklehead92]

its been while since i updated this i will show where i am at

i already re-gasketed the s52, timing cover, headgasket ect whole nine with oem parts from bluntech.

after doing the engine i finished the engine bay by grinding it down and brushing on this special clear coat design to protect metal but give it that bare metal look. it looks great!

when the engine bay was done i decide to drop in the engine and try to start it. I got everything in and pluged up but only thing from keeping to start it is spark plugs and connecting the fuel pump up. other than that it cranks and i can hear the icv huming so that means its good soooo far.... lol i will find out soon :)
onto the pics


modified firewall


e39 m5 cyclone separator, supposedly a lot better than the stock separator


stuff i used for the bare metal look, i brushed it on and left no streaks, awesome product


oil pan clearance :( and its not even fully lowered


not much clearance for the boot heheh


bare metal finish


more bare metal finish



in all her glory


used mini cooper belt


inside



going to buy spark plugs and hook up the fuel lines and we shall see what happens :) cross fingers!!!! hahhhhah *screaming like a lil bitch*


as far as plugging up the s52 ODB2 into a 2002

x20 bmw 2002 harness

alt 25 > blue wire that is in the voltage reg
ignition 21 > green wire inside the firewall or the green wire behind the ignition starter
starter 15 > ground
starter 18 > pin 50 behind the ignition starter
fuel pump 13 > direct to fuel pump i am using a 318is from a e30 with pick up

and it should work, with this done i have the icv hum and crank. i just need to plop in some spark plugs and give it gas and it should be on like bing bong jack!

hopefully people can take advantage of odb2 and not convert to odb1 which is stupid, only gain you get is odb 1 intake manifold other wise a down grade

these are what i used for hooking the s52 up
odb2 x20


ms41.1 dme pin out




the rest is easy and hooking up gauges to the x20 or whatever your using

i am using a ms41.1 ecu odb2 from DesertBMW ews delete, tune rear o2 delete and much more
