Well, here goes.
I have a 96' M3, which has a built S52 and had an RMS stage 2 supercharger setup and Tec3r standalone. I am replacing the supercharger setup with a custom turbo setup based around a Precision 6262 cbb, billet turbo and a custom manifold.
at first:
Then, off with the supercharger bits and all of that. Removed the RMS stuff, turner headers, active track pipe, etc.
Oh, bought a set of Kinesis K18 wheels (pre-Lexani buyout)
Pulling motor and removing excess wiring that is not needed with the standalone and the few components I run.
traction control motor - out
Burned up friction disk on active autowerk flywheel. darnIT. Need to buy another or find a friction disk.
Alternator is shot because it had large bugs in it that fused some feces together...
Crusty motor in crusty engine bay...... not for long!
Motor out. yay.
Thrashed active autowerk clutch. haha i cant imagine why!!?!?!! lol.
freaked up engine bay. Waiting for grinder and welder....
Turbo arrives!
Then, I pulled the Sunbelt cams, cam trays and head off of the car and then covered them in oil and bagged them and stored them for safe keeping until reassembly.
Yummy
And that is where I am at right now. Doing a clutch in a Hyandai, so the M3 waits another day for work..
I am currently welding the engine bay (myself), shaving all of the holes, seam welding all of the body seams and smoothing stuff before it gets repainted. Pics of that soon.

nice. Why are you pulling the motor? just to clean? Wondering cause you said it is already built. What are the internals?

Pulled motor because I am switching to stock cams, doing the head gasket, have to tap the oil pan and I am shaving up the engine bay and painting.
Oh hey there lil guy....
Just some garage fun
Got some new parts:
ARP Studs from Clovold
VANOs parts to reinstall VANOs on my motor, from Clovold
Stainless header flange for the custom turbo manifold.... : D
"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
Those are the old undercut ARP studs. I would not use those.
Get the ARP 2000 non-undercut studs for this build.

Alright, thats all for now, minus all of the banter from the other thread I have on Eurowerks.org
Engine bay is actually almost ready for primer, just dont have any pictures right now that are not some weird point in mud.

"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
very nice sir
Great job cannot wait to see the finished product..
"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
Your PM box is full. Here is what I was going to PM you.
the wheels are 17 x 8.5 and 17 x 9
here is my local for sale thread
http://eurowerks.org/showthread.php?t=31585
I have shipped plenty of wheels before and i don't mind doing it at all.
I bought the wheels last spring and the tires that were on them were junk so i replaced them, drove on them for a summer and not i have too many wheels around, so i figured i would list these since i want to run my Kinesis wheels this summer.
LMK if you want more info.
"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
Sweet Sweet Sweet! What was the comp ratio of the motor while supercharged? What is the h.g. plan now?
Looks like it was between 9:1 and 9.3:1.
I am going to have it resurfaced for an MLS and then o ring the block once i get the tool..
Going to drop the compression down to around 8.5:1, so it looks like the .120 MLS spacer will do me about right. Maybe .140 if they have to take much off the head surface.
"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
Subscribed! Love threads like this! Cant wait to see finished product!
i run 9.5-1 on all my motors, the setup you already got if A-OKAY! Dropping cr lower will just make less power per/psi and spool slower, forget the thick MLS with forged pistons, you dont really want to do that. Also, look at the CES Cutring headgasket and dont use a spacer with it
Well, would you look at that.
I keep reading about the best combo for head sealing and trying to put something together that isn't going to pop coolant into my oil and cook my turbo or blow coolant all over the place at 25 psi.
So, it is either CES cutring for $450 or a stock gasket for $100 plus doing the O ring job.
Lots of confusion in my head. DCVEEE was going to ship me the o ring tool tomorrow or whenever he gets it back, but if i dont need it, i shouldnt waste his time.....
Some funny stuff / history
for the last car - turbo vr6
and a little of this car
I am excited for summer.

"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
So, I didn't take many pictures this weekend, but got a lot done.
Tony helped out on the engine bay, and a lot of it is ready for primer. excited for that. a bit more sanding and such to get done this week.
Got the faces of the wheels blasted and ready for primer, capped the bolt holes so they dont get primer build up inside of them.
The barrels and caps arrived this morning. Just ordered the head gasket and top end gaskets and stuff.
Coming along. Getting excited.
Faces are primed. Need to be sanded and then the paint will be mixed and laid on my the hands of Tony. : )
Also have the wider barrels on the 2 rear wheels here. 18x8 and 18x9.5

"Ever wonder why you have two ears and one mouth? Because you should listen twice as much as you talk."
Block. waiting for action. surface cleaned and mostly honed.
test fitting the tool.
greasing the cylinder walls. coolant and oil journals taped.
Setting the adjustments for the tool. Have to measure the diameter to cut for the grooves and the depth.
Since it is an S52, I did "figure 8" o rings. I used .040 copper wire, protruding .010 from the deck, so I had to cut a groove .030 deep for the wire to sit in, which intersected between the cylinders on the "bridges".
measuring the depth. In order to do this. I used a caliper to measure the actual thickness of the wire. it was actually 0.040. so, i cut 4 small pieces and set them under the rollers/guides for the tool so the blade was 0.040 off of the deck. i then adjusted the blade so that it was .010 off of the deck. once the wire is removed from under the rollers, it makes it so it is adjusted to cut 0.030 depth grooves.
ready to go
cutting
cutting
got some grooves cut. have to work your way down the line and not cut each all the way down all at once so that you dont have bumps that the tool gets hung up on. good call matt and mike!
woops, got this in the mail today.
keep it greased up real good to catch the metal shavings. The rollers on the tool are magnetic, so they also catch some but you need to constantly catch them and collect them. Mike was THE MAN with this. following the tool with a megnetic grabber.
and then you can start to fit the wire. you need to sharpen the edges to make it so the wire fits together at the angles. here are some random pics.

Oh my o-ring sechs! I knew I should have gone this route.
