my e30: s50 w/6262 and a/c

[Mesarina]

Awesome thread! Doing a turbo gt35r and s52 swap on my e30 as i type this. I also like the intercooler placement, and would like to know what size intercooler piping you used.

Have you got the front valance fitted? Wondering how much cutting is involved.

Great job man!

I had to cut more than others, but just because im running a/c (intercooler-aux fan-condenser-radiator-clutch fan)

i'll post pics of it this week

2.5" piping from turbo to intercooler, and 3" from intercooler to throttle body

Intercooler is 21"X9"X2.75"

Great thanks! I'll have to take some measurements on mine and see how they compare.

cutting the front valance, still needs more trimming, my aux fan broke after everything was installed because it touched the condenser frame, so I just ordered a 14" fan, and hope it moves enough air..







got the air filter last week

Just wonder....what if drill big holes below those kidney´s, so that cooler get more air

Problem is, the bumper covers that area too. I thought about maybe cutting under my bumper also when I get to that point. I'm still a long way away though.

i also tought the top part of the valance would get too thin

finally had time to finish the trimming..

Looking forward to a video. Are your fogs green?

[mitchlikesbikes]

not sure if you have to run a front plate or how oem you're trying to keep the front but i think some holes in the bumper would help airflow to your intercooler a lot

yellow (3000k hid), they start green and turn yellow once they're hot
