| GT 28 Turbo on stock S52 M3 10k motor 8psi Before I start this I have posted in forced induction as well just hoping for more helpful positive replys by people w/ experience on the field.
I have '97 E36 M3 w/ new motor on it. At this moment will go with GT28 BB turbo FMIC at 8 psi stock motor and compresion. From what i know S52 comes w/ forged steel rods and forged crank. sounds like the only weak spot is cast aluminum pistons. Do you know HOW MANY HP they are good for?!!
How many psi i can do on GT28 stock motor safe?!!! With or without methanol injection
Winter time i will pull motor and do custom low compresion forged pistons and GT40 or GT42. Im not sure if im going to change rods because i have compared stock S52 to forged aftermarket I beam and the stock looks very beefy and the H beam design is very strong. From what i know stock is just as strong as aftermarket, just heavier so slower rev...
Im NOT LOOKING TO go too wild w/ this car so I want to keep it in 400-550 range depending on boost
I will be very happy to get a reply by people done this before. Will be nice to hear from people running similar setups in a long run. I will appreciate any Positive input !!! Thanks |
