obd1 m52-lookin for advice for cams,injectors,etc..??

[GUNMEtiL]

hello everyone any advice will be greatly appreciated and the end result will be great I have a very clean 95ti I have complete 328i parts car doing the m52 swap and obd1 conversion. I'm missing a few things and could use some help with info. Of what I should be looking for and potentially help finding em.
So far this is what I have:
-m50 sensors and intake, harness
-413 red label DME
I have both sets of injectors m52 and m50 which brings me to my question. What should I run
I'm looking for Shrick or S52 cams, what injectors should I run? Also lookin for light weight pulleys. And what else can ya'll tell me! thank you in advance I'm soo stoked and can't wait to build this sleeper hatch-back! please help me out with whatev info you got.

I've been researching the pulleys... Don't go light weight, you want underdrive pulleys, its not the weight savings that helps its the slower spinning speeds that allow more of the power to go to the wheels(in a nutshell) there is some good info if you search, especially about how a lighter crank pulley will mess with the harmonic dampening, etc... just make sure you get the right ones not just any old lightweight somethings. Sorry, saw this thread and needed to add my 2 cents to make sure nothing bad happens to another good motor :-D

Use the 21 lbs pink injectors. Get the proper tune for them ie something like TRM chip. Schricks are nice but pricey oem S52's are great for plain street cams in a M52.

I have a like engine in my 93 325is that's dressed to be an M3 but it has a shorter diff and underdrive pulleys and lightweight flywheel. It's quite fun.

Autosolutions SS kit
TRM Tune
S52 Cams
3.73 Diff

This is one of the best setups for the street.

Trust a guy who knows.

thanks allot guys! Just what I was lookin for... Which engine are the pink tops off? also any idea what kind of HFM works well with them? I guess that ss kit prob. Includes that though eh? also I was just lookin at one of the 2 328i parts cars I have last night and noticed an aftermarket aluminium rad with Bimmerworld hoses..... Any pro's cons? I'm guessing the rads prob ordered through Bimmerworld too, theres red writing on the back of it but can't make the brand name out till I pull it I guess. Just figured I need a 6cyl rad soo.....

[dahamler]

Get that radiator, hoses, pink top injector from
That car now! I'll bet it has a Stewart water pump also.

[GUNMEtiL]

that sounds good cause I bought the parts car already! lol now I'm just trying to figure which engine to swap in I have the modded one looks like it was owned by someone who like to drive fast but lots of maintenace was done with only 180km's and the other parts car mint and stock prob. was a family car but has 220ish km's:... It could be that the modded one was pushed harder but has lower miles and the other has more but coulda been grandpa drivin...! Any ideas how to know which engines better? Both automatics. Also I heard the pink tops will be maxed out with s52 cams? speaking of any idea where to find some? 's52 cams' also sry bout the'KM's/kilometers' I'm Canadian.... Lol

[318_mzk2]

I have the following in my obd1 m52
S52 cams
24lb injectors
3.5 euro hfm
3.5 custom intake
W.a.r tune
Jb racing 10lb fly
Headers / full custom Exhaust
3.45 stock diff.

Honestly I can't complain how she moves ..

[GUNMEtiL]

thanks! found 3.5 HFM is that what I want? Can't find s52 cams anywhere if you guys know anyone please hook me up!if I can't find the cams I might buy shricks. Do I have to upgrade my valve springs or anything to run em... I think the Shricks are stock friendly...

[318_mzk2]

Your should be good with the stock valve springs unless you go with a more aggressive cam.

Bimmerforums.com check there for s52 cams
Usually around 300-400

There's a guy selling a set of shricks for $900

[pdxmotorhead]

Compression test and Leakdown test both engines.. Pressure doesn't lie...

[GUNMEtiL]

the one I can start other no key or ignition.... Guess I can jump the starter for compression test. Guess I'll start another thread about suspension couldn't find much on that topic. thanks for the input I'll check-out Bimmerforums for cams. $1200 isn't bad for Shricks $900's even better. any idea how to get some low-end torque back with this set-up? Are pink tops gonna be enough to run s52 or Shrick cams? anything else ya'll wanna tell me.....? couldn't find anything on the Absolutions ss kit who supplies this? so any votes on who makes the best chip/software is Dinan any good they have a shop in Canada....? Is TRM from Turner?

Define better, TRM has the most liner power delivery when compared apples to apples. I'll try to find an old dyno.
TRM The Racer's Market: http://www.racersmarket.net/
TC Kline Suspension or Bilstein/ H&R Sport
You'll need injectors with the Shricks and you powerband will shift to the upper RPMs, not the best for the street.
Autosolutions: http://www.autosolutions.net/ BAVAUTO carries them under but doesn't uses the name.

[GUNMEtiL]

thanks, ya it's for the street so I think I'll go with the s52 cams. Stupid que. But wats liner power? Anyway ya it's too bad most the power seems at the high end but I guess the ti is a lil lighter than a saloon so it should still be pretty fast of the line... this is what I've sourced soo far:
-3.91 rebuilt LSD diff. Outta e34 M5 need e30 back cover
-740il MAF
-luxury side skirts, help the car fly higher! lol
-PWR 'or something can't read whole name yet' aluminium rad with Bimmerworld hosese and fan, poss. Water pump
-m50 intake
-413 red label DME
-like I said I've got red springs on my ti will they deal with the extra weight if I just swap shocks I like them....

stuff I still need 'please feel free to add to this list to help me supe up my ti' thanks:
-TRM chip
-CAI
-s52 cams
-exhaust
-under drive pulleys
-poss. Suspension

Linear goes with flat power curves vs peaky or wavy. A nice linear line is much more enjoyable for a street car, even tuners are getting away from peaky turbos.

Off Topic: Dan you doing any Wounded Warrior runs this year?

Make sure you consider Brakes. If your doing stuff now consider adding E36 M3 front end stuff.
