bmw m52 engine conversion

[max]

Wow! The quality of that work looks great. I'm waiting to get all my welding done by a guy who's supposed to be the best in Cardiff! He's just so bloody busy!
The engine looks so good in there. I was thinking of a period looking bay, maybe with triple webers, but I may have to rethink.
Nas- maybe I could get a price to do all the work on mine?

The conversion itself is great and makes the e21 a properly quick car with modern reliability and running. As someone who spent bundles on tuning their m20, I just wish I'd gone m52 from the beginning. I'm not slating the m20 engine, it just didn't do what I wanted it to. Added to which, if I blow my engine now, a couple of hundred quid gets me a replacement.

I wouldn't hesitate in suggesting Nas & Jacko to do your conversion. I've put 1000's of miles on mine now and it never misses a beat. It'll sit at 90 all day long or around town at 20.

My mates dad owns a scrap yard, and theyve got a 728 auto. Is that a good one to get the motor from? I guess I'll need the ECU, anything else for a conversion? I'll see how much he wants for it. I also will be after an LSD, anyone?

Did they even fit the m52 to 7 series!?

Matt popped round for a coke this afternoon so i had a chance to look at the conversion in the Metal. Impressive work. Very clean and tidy, sounds great and was bloody quick. Top work guys.

Thanks Mobster, it's good to hear nice comments like yours. Makes it all worthwhile...
