Saw this add on craigslist and immediately jumped in the car. Let me know how I did, here's my haul:
s52 complete bottom end, exhaust manifolds w/o2 sensors, and valve cover- $250
i intake manifold - $20
hid kit - $10
m20 i head - $40
4 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec - $60
Total investment - $380
By the time I got there the dash, race springs, e engine, 1 i engine and the seats were sold to people who paid him through paypal. lol cheaters I was the first one there :[
-
maybe I already have a s52 crank for that haha, I kinda want to take the rods out of it but the BMW gods may forsaken me for disassembling a perfectly good bottom end just for the rods lol
-
lol I bought an m20 i head and s52 bottom end... s52 12 valve swap FTW!!!!!!
-
If you don't want to use the bottom end I most certainly would

We'll see, I want to put it on an engine stand, pull the oil pan and see how a few crank and rod journals look compared to the crank I have. I more or less bought the s52 stuff as a financial investment so I guess if the price is right.

Bullet proof front diff in the making...
At the machine shop now

Yeah it look pretty nice. It had me worried when I tried to drain the fluid out it was dry 0.o but then I realized the axles have been out for a year letting it all drain out.

I'm adding two extra spider gears so I need a part made to support the ends of the shaft for the extra spider gears. This might help, imagine two more small gears perpendicular to the ones in this picture.
-
The two spider gears in the front diff like to explode with more than 3-400ftlb of torque. This will hopefully solve that problem. A guy in Finland with an 800hp ix did something like this and it worked pretty well.

This is a video of it from 2010 with the stock front diff I believe, he went through like 5 front diffs before he reinforced one like this.
