Whats going on guys, I know this is a little abstract comparing to all the other "builds" in this forum but i thought you guys would like this anyways. Before I started messing with N54's back in 2015 I have been in the E36 before that for a while. I had built a turbo e36 while i was in college going into owning a N54 powered car that you guys know as "40 Roll". Im just going to skip all the mumbo jumbo and go straight to the juicy e36 stuff.

So I’ve been searching the a big brake kit for the m3, I found the ceika website which caught my interest because it was 100% fully customizable. I got to pick the rotor I wanted, the pad , brake line, and color of caliper . It was pretty cool and best part is that it’s super affordable only $1600 for the front setup. Here are some before and after photos
Also installed K-Sport coilovers. they are local to me and i get great deals on them so why not. but im actually already going to get rid of the coilovers for a drag setup. oh well

Ok so now on to the juicy stuff.. for turbo I original went with EFR9174 , got it all mounted up and setup . Also had the m50 manifold setup with off the shelf charge piping from rktunes , I also had a 4” downpipe made for it , I wrapped that thing up as soon as took the valve cover off to ensure timing was money

after realizing something was fishy with the timing I started tearing it all apart . And while doing that I also said fuck it and went with a bigger turbo , hotter cams, and different intake setup .I went with s372sxe turbo , 286/270 catcams, and s54 Itb setup

Do you have any photos/information on mating the trans to the M52? I had no idea that was compatible.

"compatible" - a term one could drive a Mac truck through ... 😬

What modifications required for a twin disk clutch to make it work with the gs6-53bz?

Nice, did you take it out of the driveway yet? What exhaust is on the car?
not yet i had to redo my front brake lines from all the rust ughhh , has to cut and flare all new fittings on the OE line that’s a pain to replace. Spent $150 in tools to get this done the right way lol shooting for first drive tomorrow or tonight

right now it just has a 4" downpipe down to the trans. next week i will finish up the 4" exhaust
