The s52 only puts out more torque, not hp. Doing the obd1 conversion on it utilizes te obd1 manifold which had wider runner openings which help with higher end power, hp and torque. To gain the maximum power levels requires tuning. The conversion is a little involved but nothing too difficult. As far as dropping it in all e36 engines are drop in with no issues. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 |
