Nice work!!!!

Q: How many swaps/engine builds have you done before? You make it seem easy, but I have a feeling there's a lot more to it than just taking everything apart and putting it back together. :cool:

EDIT: Including the specs on car

M50 Block
M52 Crank
M52 Rods
M52 Pistons
S50 Cams
M52 Exhaust Manifolds
Intake and Exhaust ported (every bit helps)

okay, so this thing won't bloody start...

i have fuel, i have current going to coil and definitely have vacuum.

i checked robertk's thread about the auto tranny switch (pin 65 on ecu) and provided a 12v current and still nothing.

i will attempt to pull the coil pack and actually plug the spark plug into it and then crank to see if spark plug is actually getting current.

it also has the EWS delete chip.

i am almost convinced it is the crank position sensor but haven't tested it yet.

here are two vid's of how it cranks:

anyone have any ideas?

i would have suggest both of the things you have planned.

dude8383 · « **Reply #99 on:** October 04, 2008, 07:40:54 PM »

Started it today!!!!!

That dash of oil helped fire this thing up like nobody's business.

I'll have the video up shortly! It sounds pretty good to me, but I can barely tell cause this thing is so flippin loud.

It won't idle though so I need to look into why...me thinks it is the M44 318i MAF

On a side note we should add the youtube ***** feature...its freakin awesome.

That thing is going to roar. And your ACT Weaves look badass on the shwarz. I think I'm going to go the M52 route when my engine gives out, but not as built as your motor. Good stuff, I can't wait to see it all together and some in car vids.
