Supercharging the S52 Swapped e30
For this build the client wanted a little more punch for his already nimble e30 vert. In order to get it safely boosted we had to do a number of other supporting mods. Because you are only as strong as your weakest link! . . . and once you start modding its a little hard to stop 🙂
This was the plan for this build
- VF engineering s/c kit
- Custom made in-house silicone intake plumbing
- 3″ Custom made header back exhaust
- QTP e-cutout
- Custom modified (for clearance) CSF Racing Radiator
- Power-steering reservoir relocation
- Modified intake manifold and IACV
- Modify alternator for clearance
- Modify motor mount for clearance
- Spal pusher e-fan
- Retrofitted e36 fan controller with lower temp sensor
- AEM UEGO Wide-band senors
- AEM X-Series oil pressure gauge
- AEM X-Series boost pressure gauge
- Custom made dash plate to hold gauges
- Custom made coolant lines
- e85 compatible fuel lines
- Warlboro 255 lph fuel pump and modified to fit in place of the stock pump
- Full e36 M3 drivetrain and z3 rear diff
- H&R Front and Rear sway bars
- Wilwood BBK
- SPEC 6 puck clutch
- B&M billet short shifter
- other little odds and ends
