Dont be scared. Turn it up and enjoy.

i agree, you should be into the mid 500whp range.

We tried our best to push him to go for more boost. It did pretty good for 12 psi.

We will get him back out there for more boost one day.

I forgot to add the GTR has twin GT28rs lol Butterz wasn’t lying when he said these cars are blisteringly fast even just under 500 wheel...

baby steps, baby steps - Remember I pulled my car up on the dyno over the reminisce of your block lol going after you blew up... sucked.

How many stock blocks did you say you went through? Lol I’m just not ready to build one yet so I’ve been conservative in Boost pressure

[bmw328m52]

stock block, m52, cutring, 230k miles, base tune, t4 spa with 62 prec on 18 lbs..you'll be fine. Quit starving her.

lol yeah maybe I am seems like the s52 was a little more fragile then the m52, the s366 is a 67/73 she's a big girl so I think 18lbs and id be looking at building a block like tomorrow. .

With your oil drain line, what issues were you running into? There's very little room with the BW S366 and RSI manifold, adding in the dump tube and oil drain, I'm worried about the oil drain touching the dump tube. Is that why you used the cummins steel flex line? I can't remember if I read it right, but did you keep AC or delete?

don't think just buy - get the cummins flex, then order a steel -10. Its going to make your life so much easier then fighting these normal oil drains, there is all sorts of clearance issues if you don't . It was one of the best things I did with this build.

UPDATE:






I'm currently on 92 octane with 100 percent meth. Ive turned up to 14.5-15PSI on the BW- s366 (66/73) with the stock s52 block. Outside air temperatures are now in the 38-48 degree range and with the 3lb's of PSI since the dyno results, I would assume the car is in 500 wheel range which was my original goal on pump gas. Obviously not what this setup is capable of, but for now I'm happy. The car is exactly what I wanted with a pump gas/stock block combination. A freeway rolling machine. She is laggy but comes on hard!


Issues:
-Unfortunately my timing chain cover is leaking on both sides from top to bottom. A suggested sealant I used did not do its job in grooves. A lesson learned for when I do my finished block, I will use RTV in the grooves and permatex aviation grade sealant on the remaining gasket surfaces. At least this isn't a terrible leak, the dipstick hardly has moved. more annoying than anything.


-With the few extra PSI the car was blowing the plugs out gapped at .026. Zach at 22RPD suggested I gapped them down and sure enough my problems with loosing spark disappeared at 0.019. Cyl. 1 coil pack boot was torn toward the bottom so I replaced that as well.




-I have a set of wheels on the car not designed for this type of build. Semi-stretched 235/40 all season's mounted on 17x9.5's. These wheels have an aggressive ET-20 offset and the car has almost 2 degrees of negative camber in the rear to fit them. It looks good, but it's time for them to go. Im in the limiter all the time now! limiter, limiter, limiter.





(currently Looking for a set of 17x120x9.00" wheels with an offset of ET-30+ or above. The plan is to pair them with some 245 Toyo R888R's which seam to have good reviews and run just .25 or less negative camber. My dream wheel would be a set of AC Schnitzer type I or III's in 2 piece, but they impossible to find.)






Building a block soon

I have a good spare m52 block. Excited in the next few weeks to start the collection of "built block" parts. Will be shopping for a set of JE 86.5mm Pistons. But im unsure of the rod brand to go with. Eagle seems most popular and has been proven into the 900 wheel range but carrilo's are hard to pass if this block is the one. I'm hoping to re-use my s52 crank. Ive been looking at a badass set of cat cams to match with some 1-piece valves for the head. Seems like dropping a valve is most common In the e36 head. The cam durations for cat cams on stock hydraulic lifters:

• Option 2 - 275º/275º - 237º/237º - 11.15mm/11.15mm - 2.05mm/2.65mm
  
  or
  
  Try and find some schricks - 264/256's. these seem like they are always backordered and hard to find..
  
  
  

I want to replace my oil pump housing and rebuild my s52 oil pump. We already did the Achilles solid shaft and sprocket the last time it was out. Also purchase an Achilles pickup tube.



If I use ARP hardware all below, do I need to pull the pan and re-torque everything? after a few heat cycles?

vaders got re skinned

[bmw328m52]

who reskinned the vaders? Still looking for someone who can do this with oem like quality.

NW craft interiors did them. They got new 3/16 foam over the entire seat. I picked up the skin kit from auto berry


thr doctors said once summer weather comes the new foam will swell into place with no wrinkles

[Def]

How much did the new leather cost? I called a couple of places to recover my MR2 seats and it was outrageous IMO ($600+/seat, even with me doing some of the labor like pulling the covers).

[Matuh]

I thought I buy those 275deg catcams for my e36 turbo build. Should make More power even "under" curve

[mjungbluth]

[hallca]

What ended up being the solution to your afr and idle issue?? Having a similar problem with my e36...

I checked the website. New leather is $800 for the front seats. Plus however much for install and new foam...

No Radio?

[JPE36M3]

There’s only one reason you take a 3.5” straight exhaust with no muffler on the streets with a 67/73mm turbo. That’s to beat the shit out of if. You can’t hear anything but engine and turbo noise so I deleted the radio lol

RIP ear drums.....

Solution was finding the source of my boost leak which was actually coming after the only check valve in the entire engine vacuum assembly. The brake booster. I made a mistake and drilled a hole into the brake booster on a lake night running my meth lines. Replaced the booster. Fix the issue the first time. 2nd time I had a set of injectors shit out and swapped to a 22 RPD tune with his injectors and it fixed my issue

[bmw328m52]

radio and a/c are overrated anyway....

Seems like your still not hooking until 3rd gear. Those cold Seattle days don't help

[JPE36M3]

haha limiter happy for sure.. if i'm at or over 14lbs it slightly slips unless I warm the tires up. this video I was rolling cold tires and got 80 percent of the pull. before I would have got maybe 30-40 percent of the pull lol.

[VLT]

I've read this thread front to back. Almost following your build exactly.

Any advice to give?

My lower timing chain is extremely tight. Was yours like that?

Beautiful car, and happy boosting!
