the one and only e30 s52 engine swap

[GunMetalGrey]

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!

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.

Do you have an oil restrictor in the oil feed line?

Not that I know of

[B C]

That could certainly be part of it

[AsparagusMike]

Ok I lied, I actually do lol

[KaiserRolls]

Are you running a catch can setup? Or stock style pcv system?

[suspenceful]

It sounds different than other 24V builds and is the best that I have heard.
