Goodbye DASC

[HuGo]

Guys, i just want to let you know that i will no longer have a Downing Atlanta Supercharger. If sale comes through, it will be gone next week. If not, then it'll be up for sale but still out of the car I cant no longer afford to get/pay 23mpg cuz of the gas prices here in los angeles. This sucks. I really loved this kit, the whine was just OMG! But yea, the gas, cant keep up.

Anyway, I'm purchasing a full S52 swap tomorrow which gives about 20/19 mpg. Its going to take TIME to get it swapped. When ever my dad has time then we will work on it. Unless good o' jesse wants to come and help we can do it faster

Anyway, that's the new plan. 332ti on its way. If im crazy enough, maybe FI also.

I will post pics along the way and i guess this can also be the build thread. I will take pics tomorrow of my current engine bay with the DASC.

Discuss or critisize

[HuGo]

I'll post up as much as i can during the process.

Yea ill be swapping for a ZF tranny. I'm buying full complete swap, tranny, and ///M cluster for 2800.

yeah, if your getting rid of the DASC for the cost of gas, thats just silly!
You know the reason is you want more POWAAAA!

FYI, its going to run you alot more than $2800... just so you know... all the little things add up QUICK, trust me. Upgrading differential, brakes, suspension, cooling system, driveshaft, etc... expect to spend at least another $1500 or more.
You'd better purchase Jims manual before getting to far into it as well, that will give you a much better idea of all the little things you will need.

Good luck!

did your motor come with dme and radiator too?

this will be an exciting build but that wasnt a bad price at all!

looking forward to seeing this build!

Oh yea of coarse, im aware i still have to buy more stuff. And yea im going to buy jims book. I already have suspension and a diff. I'm going to upgrade my brakes again, lol. All of this is costing me nothing.

[thesk8nmidget]

what brakes do you have now?

i may be interested!

and you may wanna upgrade the front suspension to help with all the added weight

[HuGo]

I have E36 328 brakes with vented rotors.

Ima upgrade to E46 330 brakes.

I have belstein with H&R suspension set-up. I should be good right? Dont know if it will help, but i bought an X-brace.

[thesk8nmidget]

well its good to buy front springs meant for a 6 cyl and its added weight. your springs are made to handle the weight of a 4cyl.

but i may be interested in your old brakes when you upgrade

[jgrimm]

I call first dibs on the DASC!

I was reading a thread and said i could just get m3 springs and im good with the shocks. Ill see when i get my book. I still want the lowered like. I have like half an inch of clearance. I also heard that its an extra 100lbs woth of weight? I have CF hood so that's already minus 25 pounds

[thesk8nmidget]
