That thing will scream when you are done, trust me I know. I have a set of m3 cams BTW if you are interested. | | | 02-23-2008, 09:34 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | 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.

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. | | | 02-23-2008, 11:01 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: nj Posts: 316 | damm yeah thats what i want, you think i should keep my stock ti diff? __________________ 97 base with 332ti engine tons of stuff in it | | | 02-23-2008, 11:02 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: nj Posts: 316 | dahm btw: pm sent about cams!!!! __________________ 97 base with 332ti engine tons of stuff in it | | | 02-24-2008, 12:39 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | 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!!! | | | 02-24-2008, 01:10 AM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: nj Posts: 316 | ok cool thanks d. help is always good to have __________________ 97 base with 332ti engine tons of stuff in it | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
