M52 STROKER ENGINE BUILD PART 1 

I try to make the boring parts of how to videos fun too :)

@@ALBERTOBIGBOOST saludos De casualidad me tope con tu video el cual me parece bueno. Yo al igual soy fiebru de BMW aca en puerto rico tengo la dicha de poseer varios bmw los cuales son un e36 318 convertido a m3 desde suspension motor e interiores hasta frenos y la mas minima tuerca, solo le falta el vin de un m3, ademas poseo un m5 e39 y un 323 del 2000 el cual me trae a la pregunta que quiero hacerle. Crees que a un m52b28 (2.8lt single vanos) le puedo adaptar el sistema dual vanos de un motor m52tub25 (2.5lt dual vanos)? Es que tengo un motor 2.8 y el motor del e46 323 se calento y se fue de junta. Basicamente quisiera sacarle el dual vanos als 325 y instalarselo al 2.8 junto con el intake manifold. Si tienes alguna sujerencia te lo agradeceria. Dicho sea de paso yk vivi mucho tiempo alla en oceola vivi en la mexicali, en floral park dr, en st. Cloud tambien antes de regresar a p.r Un abrazo brother

Sarah -n- Tuned I swear if it is on an LS....

also the best way to tighyly cut the grip for a skateboard ;)

You're like on every video.

its annoying

Thats where I learned it

lol thanks man!

Stevie Stone lmao

glad you are liking the content. thank you

thats awesome. hope you like the video :)

Same, I just opened my laptop.

everything i am finding is in the ballpark of .020 - .024" for boosted apps on the first ring

I hope he sees this. Same thing is going to happen to this engine in a short period

Drill speed to high as well, Am I the only one who doesn’t prefer Ball hones?

M52 bore is more common in 84 mm which is 3.307". multiply by .006 for top ring = .0198 ~.020" gap and multiply by .0057 for second ring = .0188 ~.019" gap. Conversion factors for boosted rings right out of Wiseco Instructions. User can tailor ring gap depending on level of boost they wish to run and amount of cylinder heat is going to be expected or known from prior testing. There is an M52B20 that has an 80 mm bore and these gaps would be a bit big for that bore under most applications (.019" top gap and .018" second).

The equation is based on the piston circumference. Are the 2JZs similar? I know we're talking about 2 3.0 engines, but one may have less bore/more stroke than the other. Plus, extra measures can be taken for cylinder cooling.

this route would be the most cost efficient. unless you get a s54 super cheap. also this engine is very straightfoward to work with

I'm terrified of "cheap" S54's given I have a 2007 BMW Z4M Coupe which I'm sure you know has an S54...so I know all about the issues of the S54 can have...vanos issues, rod bearings etc when they are not maintained...plus it's been done to death in E36's...again, keep this up and the more detail the better, much appreciated. Very interested in this build. Hope you get into brakes, suspension etc as well. And ECU. Cheers.

Get an S50 or S52 - buy a salvage car from CoPart and use all of it.

CoPart does not work for me...I live in Toronto Canada...just the shipping/import fees would kill the whole deal. We have similar ways of finding salvage cars...similar websites etc but I wouldn't have anywhere to store a salvage car for parts etc...I would have to rely just on finding the parts

Luis Gonzalez basically lol

thank you glad you like it :) means a lot

no, different applications and you need to worry about compression and stuff. its just a no.

awesome. stay tuned for the rest of the build videos, will have one part per day

America got the m52 iron block, europe got the aluminium block 👍

thank you :) but you are!

stock arms for now. I plan on running a slr kit later on, I do have steering rack spacers I could show on how to install later

Alberto BIGBOOST sweet man .keep doing what your doing
