M52 Turbo ti

After 3+ years I might have finally found a happy ending to this cars engine/turbo swap.

Went from all Autronic back to a stock 413 DME and had maximumpsi work their magic.

Dude it's gonna be the hotness! Definitely take some video, even if you drop a buddy off on the side of the road and have him video! It's the one thing I didn't get enough of, and now the car is sitting and I would like to watch the videos. SO, you are gonna do that for me right

Anyways, any updates on your car, I knew it was there but I thought it was done, or close.

Dude.. how are you the first one to hop on this thread? Do you lurk 318ti.org constantly?!

I purchased a "high quality" aiptek HD camera for just this purpose. Next time I'm running around with Jay/Jon I'll wreck havoc.

I emailed Mike last night but have not heard back. He still has the car. I asked him what the bill would come to!... Probably taking so long cause he doesn't know how to count that high *sigh* I'm ready to go pick it up whenever!

Haha, no I just am slow with work right now, and I'm having withdrawals from my car, especially after getting my dyno numbers. Like I said I think he's reasonable. So when we both fully build motors, we both should send our cars to mike at the same time!! Get a 318ti group buy rate going

haha

Take it easy.

Looks like full boost is in around 5000 rpm now:

Hope you enjoy your achievement

Hey, thanks SlavPala4a.

Sadly, I Still don't have the car back yet. I'm trying not to rush Mike, but it's hard! I really feel like a 9 year old a week before Christmas. Every time I hear from him though, it's good news and more power.. so I kinda just wait for midnight text messages. Maybe one will be "okay, come get it".

what size tires/rims do you have in the back? are you lowered at all?

bubela · 11-23-2010, 01:42 AM

They're 17" x 9" wheels. The car is in NJ with 255/40R17's, but I have a pair of Mickey Thompson 275/40/R17's that I'll put on when I get it back. They rub every so slightly. I'll take care of that when I put them back on. I'm lowered a little bit. Not sure how much as the springs came with the car.

cloud9193 · 11-23-2010, 01:45 AM

what are you going to do to stop the rubbing? just wondering because im getting an s52 swap and am planning to turbo it eventually

bubela · 11-23-2010, 01:54 AM

Roll it with a roller or pipe. Hammer. Torch, saw? Whatever it takes. That's just how I roll. I'll let you know how I make out!

RAiMA · 11-23-2010, 02:27 AM

So what else has to be done with the car?

**bimmern00b** · 11-23-2010, 03:46 AM

I want to hear the outcome on this, I may try it myself!

bubela · 11-23-2010, 04:27 AM

I've already rolled the fenders with a pipe. A bud has the actual tool that bolts to the hub. I'll grab that off him. It really needs just a hair more. 1/8" tops. It's just the right side. My left is cleaning. If I were to cut the inner lip off, it would definitely clear. However, I'd lose strength in the arch, so I'll try not to do that.

RaiMa: What else needs to be done before I get the car back from Maximum PSI? Nothing really. He's just doing road testing as far as I know. I guess there's still some tread on the tires he needs to knock off!
