Hello gents  It's been a while since I last posted here. Thought I'd let you guys know the crazy lil supercharged 318ti I have is getting an upgrade. It's getting an M52 2.8L engine, rebuilt, forgies, bearings, copper gasket, studs, and a GT3071R turbo slapped onto it. Looking to have this completed during the next 2-3 weeks. Engine is expected to arrive this week and pistons have been ordered. Aiming for 400-450bhp, should do it with ease. I'll keep you posted

Thanks for the welcome back It has been a while since I was last here lols I haven't taken pics of my car for a while, but here are some old happy snaps of the ti  Yes, she's a sleeper  Front Mount goodness with the old setup with the ASA blower on it   One of the old cruise pics when it originally had a vortec supercharger in it before it got upgraded to an ASA. I'll take some new pics soon. Still weeks away from completion. | | | | | 10-20-2009, 03:34 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

It's how we were able to pull out the numbers that we did. The car ran 19PSI, decompressed forged pistons, with M3 solid lifters and a number of other things. The new turbo going on the 2.8L M52 will be another custom setup. Quote: Originally Posted by dguzzardo22 what are you going to do with your old setup ?

whats your plans for fuel mgmt/software? clutch? differential? | Yes, it won't be cheap. We could buy 3 x E36 318i, but where's the fun in that?  We're planning to use the old stand alone custom delco ecu which is fully programable. We just need to swap over the module in the ECU from a 4 cyl setup to a 6 cyl setup which we've already got. It's going to be running larger injectors, stock fuel pump should be fine, it's the same fuel pump used across the entire 3 series including the euro M3s. The clutch is already uprated from the old setup, but I'll probably have to be more gentle in the new setup. If it goes, we'll look up uprating it then. The differential is already the larger housing with LSD from a 2.8L Z3 - the same as the M Coupe but without the cooling fins on the rear housing. Aim is to try not to go too crazy with the number where it will start to break other things around it. Gearbox is my only concern with the new setup. It starts to strip gears from memory around 240rwkw/330rwhp. It'll be fine as long as we stay below it.

Best, John S | I like your style Engine's been sent to the machinist to be striped down. They're waiting for the pistons. Car's going to be sitting in the workshop idle next week. Hoping this will only take an extra week to complete. | | | | | 10-23-2009, 06:08 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 |
