E30/S62 swap "kit"
Absolutely everything you need to accomplish the most incredible imaginable e30 engine swap.
I am not going to pull the drivetrain from the car; it would be best if the buyer purchased the shell with the drivetrain installed so they can see how it should be done, rather than receiving a giant collection of parts. All swap parts have approximately 400 (yes, 400) miles on them. Also, shell has good usable parts. I have a folder of receipts for about $20,000 in parts that are on this car.
Here is what is included:
2001 M5 S62 engine with 98K. Resealed top to bottom prior to install. Needs an oil pan (punctured in accident but was not run without oil)
New power steering pump (needs a pulley)
New water pump
New Alternator/Voltage Regulator
Garagistic M/S6x swap kit engine mounts
Garagistic M/S6x swap kit exhaust manifolds
Garagistic boosterless brake setup (with Wilwood pedals/MC/reservoirs)
Factory M5 gas pedal modified to fit e30 chassis
Custom Plug and play ECU from Ergen Motorsports. Removes security ignition lock, removes requirement for MAFs, removes requirement for O2 sensors after cat. Also adds ~25HP but I didn't get a chance to dyno it. This ECU was $2500 alone.
Full custom stainless exhaust with switched electric cutout (sounds completely insane)
Non-airbag steering shaft with modified steering knuckle to clear manifold, Momo hub
Custom lightweight flywheel, HD clutch setup from UUC (this setup was over $1800)
5spd Getrag G226 modified for S62 timing pickup (this solution from an e34 530i is considerably lighter (~30 lbs) than the e39 M5's 6 spd)
Modified shift linkage with UUC SSK. Excellent feel and positive shift action.
New guibo & CSB
Garagistic custom built driveshaft ($500)
2.93 LSD with Garagistic secondary mount and finned Z3M diff cover
CATuned HD axles to handle extra power
Adjustable rear subframe
Reinforced trailing arms
TLDR
I had this swap completed professionally over the course of 2 years, to the highest standard, by KD Motorsports in Redmond WA. No corners were cut. Then I drove it for 2 1/2 months very conservatively in the rain. The first sunny day (March 6th), I went out and had a blast driving around for a bit, and got a chance to do a full acceleration run on an onramp feeding into a long straight (148th Ave N to 520W). It was insane: You had to feather the throttle not to get wheelspin, even from 3rd to 4th. 5th gear, it was still pulling like it used to in 3rd when I had an s52 under the hood. I was laughing out loud at the ludicrous power: at 140 I was thinking "Damn! This thing could probably do 175!" then decided it best to slow down a bit. Brakes were unboosted so required a hard push to slow the car. Tires were 6 yr old, bald all seasons. The rears locked and the car went completely sideways. Fortunately there was no traffic so I had both lanes to try and collect it. And I almost did. But not quite. I slid sideways on full opposite lock for a very long way but finally the rear came around a bit too far and there was no saving it. I hit the right side jersey barrier on the left front corner just ahead of the front wheel and spun and hit the left rear before sliding out to the middle. I drove it to the side and got out, collected the parts from the highway, and called a tow truck. The car is a total.
What's on the shell that may or may not be useful to you (but is included with drivetrain):
-new (200 miles) stock brakes
-Bilsteins and H&R sport springs
-HD fuel pumps (2) with dual pickups in tank
-windows etc
Price: $6,000 for the full kit, to have 400NA horsepower in a 2600lb car. Better power to weight than almost anything on the road.
For sale separately:
-Full black interior, good condition, $750 (sport seats, rear seat, door panels, back panels, center console with cupholders & leather shift/ebrake boots, parcel shelf, carpet, floor mats)
-Perfect flawless dash $200
-VDO Instrument cluster (154K showing) $50
-Stereo including Kenwood HU, 5ch JL Audio Amp, 10" Lukebox (with custom power/ground/speaker plugs to remove for track days), factory front and rear component speakers, all wiring, $500
-Euroweaves with ancient, bald, flatspotted Falken radials. 2 straight, 2 damaged. Includes 4 centercaps $350
OR, take the whole thing for $7250. The only thing I am keeping is the steering wheel.
Pictures to follow.
