Don't hesitate to buy from him. I Will be digging into this project soon. If the S52 piston myth is real, I should have a nice hot 2.0L hybrid. | | | 10-18-2013, 06:20 AM | #17 | Member Join Date: Dec 2012 Location: nor-cal Posts: 50 | Just in case anyone sees this, I want to make sure that bad info is not spread on the net. S52 pistons will not work with an NA app. They could possibly work with a boosted engine, but I didn't do the math to figure out the dish size etc since I am looking to raise compression. It looks like the US model S50 pistons is possibly the hot ticket. I will post a build thread when I get some progress made. | | | 04-15-2014, 04:30 AM | #18 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: SLO, CA Posts: 168 | The rear diff and axles are just taking up space in my garage. If I don't get offers soon they going into the trash bin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ Sleeper Calypsorot 1996 318ti tintop.

I'd like to see your various projects next time I'm in Sac-town. I'm especially interested in your 330i brake setup...
