the one and only e30 s52 engine swap

This setup will ruin you and nothing will ever be fast enough ever again
I sure hope so
As I think @Jdesign had said, reps now a days are so good it’s kind of non issue for most uses unless you are a wheel purist. Very excited to see dyno numbers, any predictions?
Only thing I can say about legit wheels is the weight being a bit less. I think these ones come in just around 18.5 lbs which is pretty hefty but they seem beefy and capable so whatev's.
Hoping for middle 300's hp, anything better then 330 and I'll be pretty happy.

@DrLeadFoot did just about 500whp on 18-21psi on his S52, and that was on an OBD2 chip tune.
That setup was uncomfortably fast

Obd1 tune. Very bad tune

baseline run? or final result? either way 300whp in an E30 is no joke!
Final result. 330hp 316 tq 0n 8.5 psi at around 6000 rpm

I got a ride / drove this car this weekend.
Holy balls batman, it is sweet.
The car feels so good. It is smooth, the power delivery is smooth and linear, and the chassis feels great due to all the work Mike has put into it.
And man does it rip, any gear, any rpm, you lean in the throttle and are immediately doing well over the posted speed limit.Great work Mike!

Yup I should be able to make it.

What turbo and manifold are you running again?
Edit: did you get a tq curve print out as well?

Holset HX35 on a Rapid spool manifold
I suppose I should have posted this graph earlier, oops.

Sweet thanks veggiemike
would be interested in seeing that msq file
manual boost controller? Electronic? Or just straight spranging it with boost reference directly to gate?

If you're sending those MSQ's around feel free to hit a brother up!
Also, I think I know where your oil is going. Watched the dyno pull vid and saw the let off cloud

Ya No doubt my car is consuming a bit of oil. I have been monitoring it frequently though and it doesn't seem to be much worse then it was when the motor was NA.
About a quart every 1000 miles... 1/4 of a quart give or take every 2 tanks of gas or 300 miles.
