project 328ti
 

the speed bug has bit me and im ripping the lil m44 out next month. shop by me has a m52 with 50,000 miles on it. heres my list

-m52 2.8l motor
-m3 cams
-underdrive pulleys
-replace worn out parts
-chip
-m50 manifold conversion
-aftermaket catback
-lightweight flywheel
-obd1 conversion

..........so the m44 is up for grabs along with the ecu,wiring harness,cat,stromung exhaust,oem exhaust, clutch,flywheel,3.23diff (nonlsd)

pm me with a price and ill prob take it, (no really low blows!) i should have everything out by end of march so you can save up if you need anything.

How much for the stromung exhaust and how many miles are on it?

i sent him a pm asking the same thing but you can have it :)

Just looking right now I'm not for sure.

exhaust has about no joke 2,000 miles on it. i put it on in january you can even see the invoice date lol. ill get rid of it for 300 shipped

You dont chip an m52, you use a shark injector to reprogram it.

You do if you have a OBD1 swap. :wink:

That thing will scream when you are done, trust me I know.

I have a set of m3 cams BTW if you are interested.

Just curious about going modded 2.8 vs. stock 3.2? What do you project your final hp/tq to be and what are you budgeting for cost? I'm asking because I weigh the same options. Your feedback is appreciated.

well stock m52 is 189hp (correct me if im wrong). and m50 manifold prob gives around 5-10hp. m3 cams do about 20-25hp gain and chip and underdrive pulleys help with maybe 20-25hp. lightweight flywheel helps tourque. plus intake n exhaust to help air flow faster. i think maybe 245 to the wheels. plus the weight of the ti with those mods would take a stock m3 (e36). def take out any vr6 vw n maybe r32's not sure. here my quote of prices so far:

motor 1,000
cams 275
exhaust 600
flywheel 500
under drive pulleys 125
chip 250
m50 manifold 125
intake (already have)
short shifter 85.00
thats about 2800$ but mind you ill be selling old motor,exhasut system and other lil things.

plus my 3.73lsd thanks to TT

I think that you will have about 220 to the wheels and but you still would be able to beat an E36 M3. My ti had no problems running with E46 M3 and gave a couple of M6s trouble. I have a s52 obd 1 conversion with a chip LTW flywheel (F1 racing ebay) and M50 manifold. The car is fast!!!!

BTW I have the stock ratio Ti diff and I would not want anything higher.

damm yeah thats what i want, you think i should keep my stock ti diff?

dahm btw: pm sent about cams!!!!

I have the stock ti LSD (I forget the ratio) but my car ran at 3500 rpm at arount 75 mph. I never downshifted with on the highway to pass.


You can have the cams if you want them. I have an entire S52 minus the head if you need any other parts. The engine had spun bearings FYI. Just let me know if I can help with anything else.

If you want take a look at my swap thread. I need to update it more info and pics but I just snapped my secondary timing chain so I'm a little busy with the rebuild.

Oh I also have a Non vanso M50 with about 75k on it if anyone wants it. It needs the front timing case and sensors and a manifold.

Good luck with the swap!!! :biggrin::wink:

ok cool thanks d. help is always good to have
