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
