Very nice build! What wheels are those on the car, if you don't mind me asking?

You have a window with a view now!

Killer Man! Cant wait.

mmm I love KDW's. They should have a nice feel on the tarmac.

Honestly If I were you I would disassemble the motor and reassemble it with your father who has a little more experience. You def do not want to start this thing and waste 3K. Even though there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the lower end I would have him take a look at that too just to be su...

Turboing the E36 is very easy and some what affordable. I have an E36 M and produce a turbo kit for it. Basic E36 Turbo kit is about 7K and that is with tuning and fueling. 17-18psi we easily make 600whp on the S52. I would say turbocharing is much more preferred over supercharging among BMW enthusi...

Dam that S14 looks awesome.

Check the fuel Filters and Injectors. The fuel pressure like he said sounds pretty normal. I would also def get a wideband.

I like the Charge pipes. Look pretty good.

BMW S52 and S54 *S54 got motor of the year for six years 01- 06*

In no particular order. Best of all time for power, price, all around use, and most swapped LSx series motors

I spent 1075 in machine work just on my block.

Any updates or progress?

This car is going to be awesome. Still want a miata.

Those CAM gears are ingenious! thank you JWT

What brand is that heat tape. I am in need to cover a Brake Master myself.

wow timing was way off. Did the car even run?

Congratulations on the first dyno experience. Not bad numbers for that turbo and 6psi.

End Tanks look great in car man! So BIG

Here Craigslist or Ebay

I would hook up a fuel pressure gauge outside the car. Maybe even tape it to the windshield and then do a couple pulls under load and see if the fuel pressure drops. Also see the base pressure at idle.

Nice machine work!

We have not serviced the turbo yet at all and its working well. The car is used as a daily driver. It also sees some track events. The car gets run hard on the street, harder than most.

Like I said we have a car running one in a daily driver with 5,000miles on it. Service intervals are simple and pretty much just a re-greasing. They are trying to have it so dealers can just do it so you dont have to send them back to Comp. As far as service intervals it depends on how the turbo is ...

Pull it apart sand blast every thing and lay down a good primer followed by a nice black top coat. Its the only way for a rust free return. Add new bushings and an LSD while you are in there.

All so used them, Very Fast and friendly and cheaper than most.

I deal with comp as well. Very nice turbochargers. The Oil-less units have been working out very well. We have a unit with about 5,000miles on it and it is working flawlessly. They are not that expensive.

First make sure it has a proper vacuum line going to it. Secondly I would hook up a fuel pressure tester or gauge and either tape it outside of the car to the windshield or get back on the dyno and make a couple pulls under load and watch it. If the pressure starts out at like 43psi or so and drops ...

Never really thought about it but I think I am going to have to do this with my throttle body.

What was the reasoning for welding the ports shut?

You did not have to anneal it before you worked it correct? Like the design to, its gonna flow sweet in and out of that core.
