18 Y.O. Learns bad investment :AW 1986 M52 swap thread (E36 content as well)

Friend couldn’t buy the e30 , driveway too full .. where we are now :



Copped a pair for a steal . Easy to fit in e30 just need to flatten where the stud goes in all around , these curve about 70 degrees downwards.

Next purchase will be a zf and driveshaft. I have what I believe is a m20 single mass flywheel to go with that.

As for the 02 , found a shell thats been blasted primed and caged . Price and of preparing this tub would be triple the price of the shell I found . Worked on getting ready to pull the m10 and 4-speed this afternoon . Good progress. Comes out and 4 speed swap will be for sale.



Some goodies :


Rebuilt italian weber 45 DCOE, OEM intake manifold and custom cast velocity stacks.

Remaining stuff for the swap . Not too much left . I estimate $6-900 later . Clutch kit and flywheel work may run most of that amount , it’s a 228mm m20 single mass , looking into sachs HD kit or clutchmasters . Also would like to change out the input and output shaft seals and detents on the zf , and found a zf front propshaft on here so I’m going to grab that soon .

Any fuel pump recommendations ? My inline was replaced by me years ago , but my outer one has probably never been replaced which may cause me problems , what do you guys run for fuel filters in the 24v realm?

Current story on the e10 . Awaiting delivery on this roundie shell that is caged and paint ready . Need to pull the rest of the parts from the first shell , then this thing will be stored until garage is safe and organized enough , while it is away for paint I will finish the swap. Shell is already prepared for fiberglass Alpina pigcheeks already . Rust free car here ! :)







The old caged shell from idaho is worth:

M10
4 speed
Pedals
Whats left of wiring
Brake booster
Driveshaft
Diff
Pedal set
Steering wheel
dash
Cluster
Doors
E brake assembly

For $1.4k taking into account $500 plus shipping from boise , not bad on all the parts . Will be 5 speed swapping it , having m10 rebuilt and probably stroked 2.3l . More on that later , just a teaser .

s14 crank?

[JeLani]

s14 crank?

Yes , 92mm m30 pistons , rods gotta do my research about . As well as the rest of the stuff , 92mm bore should be safe for an m10 block.

I’m kind of over this thread . I want to make a new one when i get another phone .. or whenever . The 318iS turned into a 328i and a vert in one day . Sold to junkyard , and friend with no license had this vert sitting outside of his house since december . Has a straight piped muffler delete from the mid-section- back . 160k miles , dove grey interior , runs fine , going to do all of the routine maintenance though. Sold the grey coupe to the junkyard for the same amount of money i paid for the vert . Which if you can imagine is very little. Clean title by the way.




In this picture , the sr was disconnected from the trans , it has since been fitted with a clip . I was replacing the shift boot and when I went to pull the knob off it disconnected ... took all of 5 minutes to replace.

Kept my red tails from the coupe.
