Turbo M52 E30 First Start and REAL Driving 

That moment at exactly 22:53 when you and your dad look at each other after gunning it...and smile at each other ..priceless. Remember to always respect and love your father ..i miss mine so much. Awesome build you should be proud of your self.

The sound of this totally delivers.

Bro your old mans reaction was priceless with the lecture at the start & change of mood once you hit boost hahaha

so sick! I just purchased an s52 for my 318ti and doing as much research as possible before the swap. Mine will be NA but this turbo is so sick

The sound of that engine at the end got to my heart,i simply loved it!!

can't wait to see how the car looks in near future and matches with the power it has. much respect you decided to keep the bimmer engine in it and tuned it.

Just finished binge watching all your E30 videos today, and dude MAD RESPECT for you. Love the confidence to dare to venture like this alone. Keep up the build!

Amazing!!! Great father and son moments to enjoy forever!!

damn, that M52 sings, now just need the cosmetics to match.

Your dad’s comment on not listening to his safety concerns gave me a nice smile and reminded me of my dad when I first started playing with cars 😅. Great build and it sounds mean, congrats on getting it completed!

Congrats on your build man. Looks awesome!

this video got me so pumped, So relateable to when i installed the ecu in my is300. all of these problems with no connecting ecu's, car not starting, not spark. no fuel. and you do all of these little things and all of a sudden the problems start weening out. and before long, you have a running car! gets me soooo pumped

Had to come back and watch your old videos since it’ll probably be a while till the e30 comes back but loving the father son moment in this video

Hey i just found this chanel i have a 1991 318i and love what you show on here, super great at explaining what’s happening and sick asf to watch this thing turn over 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Damn man. That is one sweet ride! I have wanted to do this since I was 15!

This video made me want to turbo my E36. Incredible sound

Great video. Finally a car video by a DIYer who knows what they are doing! Nice work!

Was watching this vid like "huh this looks like CT" then I saw the CT plate lmao. Good shit man, e30s are fun cars I can't even imagine what a turbo m52 one feels like

BEAST!

your dad is too chill bro he's sub zero chilling out lol

force a toi joel bonne route

awesome build!

Blake did my harness as well!

Good shit Joel! Great video 👌

Put the trottle body upside down. Doesn’t look great but it fits way better. I had the same problem because of the e30iX brakebooster.

7:45 LETS FUCKING GO BABY!!!

Speechless for your knowledge and the quality of your job! Can you tell me how hard is the cooling hoses in this engine. Mine are rock solid and everyone says it's normal but I don't think so... I can't squeeze mine at all?

15:49 those grooves on the cam you have to line up by turning the cam

Not sure if you actually figured it out, but when tightening the head woth the cams in, just put the engine at TDC and there is grooves in the cams which allows for the tool to be inserted 😅

sick brooooo

Nice build man. I thought those CT street's looked familiar.

This is an awesome video.

i liked this video very much thumps up

Yessir 💥💯

Good series of vids bro. I am installing a VEMS system myself Its not a plug and pay Its FAR more complicated Its a 4.7 L V8 1984 Porsche 928. I'm converting the entire ignition system from old school distributor to coil on plug and all the modern stuff that goes along with it. I am leaving the wiring harness part to a pro. After it gets running I will be turbocharging it. I already have all the parts for that, Its expected to get 600 crank HP. Not happening till spring though. Stay tuned and watch for it on my channel if you're interested.

Beautiful bro!!!!!!!!👌💯💛💯👌

bro this thing is nuts had to sub after this vid this is actually my future plans with my M50 swapped e30 i have a few vids up on my channel if u wanna check them out but overall fire build bro keep up the good work

How do you put the transmission on yesterday of the wiring was done in the winter?????

i have problem with the fuel pump fuse when i put new on it in that time its getting burned what is the problem?

My head like gonna blew up to see all those wire

Are you using the stock ecu or not and if not what are you using im looking for one too

Amazing...

hi what did you use radiator for water cooling?? Which vehicle's radiator ?

Nice vid man

Car looks like it rips. Nice job, I have a E36 M3 I want to turbo.

So I have a stock 91 E30 that suddenly stopped running.. I was on the freeway, up til this it was driving daily with no issues, but on the freeway it suddenly stopped running. I got it to start after letting it sit for like 30 min about 2 times, but after that I couldnt get it going. It turns over strong, I smell gas, I changed the main relay (looked burned up) I cant get it going. Any ideas? Again, no issues before, and a sudden stop. Any ideas? Thanks.

I like the m50....but i hate the wiring....if you don t have a schedule...good luck...you might need a day to figure out where the painstake comes...

very beautiful

I watch M3nace for my e36 info. When you showed me your sockets with the 12 point, it made me think of him. When you do your cylinder head, he says the 12 point would strip the top of your head bolts and screw you over. Maybe youve used them with no problem, but jus some insight, you might wanna get the proper sockets for head bolts Bro 👊🏾

Ok soo good job

What power you thinking of running ?

What clutch kit are you using Joel ?

Loveee

15:50- I know this is late, but special head stud socket cost me $50, bit worth it to get to them

sounds fucking awesome :D

What program was that on your laptop?

Hey sorry to ask but are you using windows on that macbook? I want to use romraider but I thought I will have to buy another laptop. I use a 2020 MBP

Are you going to let it be in the US- spec or change into EU bumpers and stuff?

bro do u have a guide on how to do all that

Nice......realy nice!!!😃👌👍🙏

Nice ,👍and your ecu ?

What thermostat housing is that mine does not have a sensor port?
