    FS: 49k S54, 6-speed, itb's, booster-delete, etc.

    Haven't made any foward movement on the E30 In a while due to my work/schedule. I'd like to sell all of the S54 swap parts I've accumulated, and for the right offer I may include the chassis-- '87 Euro bumpered eta with the aero front lip, Mtech 1 deck spoiler, E30 M3 5-lug, Alpina (brown) cluster, 370mm Mtech 1 wheel, Euro non-ps 3.9 turn rack, and other hot-rod parts.

    Quick list with approximate prices--

    S54 with 6-speed (Getrag 420) $6k:


    Bad trans picture-


    -S54 has 49k miles, came from an '03 or '04, can't remember which for sure. Trans has 90k if I remember right, maybe less.
    -includes non-cat Ebay headers, manual harness, plenum, DME, EWS, key (all matching), flywheel, E46 and E36 engine arms, and AKG 24v swap engine/trans mounts.
    -TinyT aluminum trans brace for bolt-in 6-speed swap.
    -front half of E36 M auto driveshaft for conversion.
    -E34 oil pan with pump and dipstick; also have stock dual-sump pan.
    -Alternator and starter included.

    Massive Booster Delete: $150

    Misc S54 parts, I have a spare long block--

    ITB's with manual plenum-- $400

    I'll add more later with pictures. Everything is obo and I would like to sell it all as a kit for a lower price. Don't be afraid to make offers. This will go towards a down payment for something new-- May order a BMW bike this weekend to satisfy my desire to drive at the speed limit on public roads.

    I would consider physically assembling the vehicle minus the electronic investment and selling the engine with the chassis, if someone is seriously interested. This setup is physically complete minus a few shift linkage parts, clutch assembly, and rear prop shaft section.

    This is the chassis I'm thinking of parting with:


    Front 5-lug is installed with resealed brakes, Turner brass guide pins, new rotors, and welded strut reinforcements. Turned out after installing the struts the drivers side is slightly bent. As-is has slight positive camber. Strut needs to be straightened or a set of camber plates would allow proper alignment. It's not terribly out, but worth mentioning. Rear 5-lug is not installed. Comes with new AKG trailing arm bushings, subframe bushings (the ones that raise the subframe 12mm, poly), and an offset poly diff bushing. Comes with 2 sets of wheels if sold-- E38 style 5's (16x8") and Kosei K1's (15x8"). All wheels are nice and direct fit.

    Thanks,

    Ryan T.

      Purchasing this would bring me a project way over my head, possible relationship issues, and significant difficulty meeting financial obligations. But the opportunity for an ultra sleeper makes it so enticing...GLWS.

          The engine is tentatively sold to a local who is coming by on Thursday.

          I'd probably go for $10k give or take. It's a solid original paint chassis and there are some pretty neat parts in the trunk..

          Just do it. Relationships come and go and financial obligations will always be there. This was a fun car with the S52, S54 would be a real hoot. Wish I had the bandwidth for finishing it right now.

              They usually go for $1,500-ish, but I'd consider any serious offer. I don't really need it now, unless I decide to 'upgrade' from the Euro box in my E36 to it. No reason to do that now though.. Shoot me a PM if you want. If the engine goes on Thursday, I'll be posting the trans and associated parts up for sale in a separate post.

                    ^^I'm not parting the body at this time. I'm hoping to find a nice stock eta engine and go back to stock with it. Or an M10, M42, or S14.

                    Thanks Jim.

                    Engine, transmission, and spare engine block are all sold. I'll post up all of the other interesting bits I have piece by piece when I have pictures of them.

                    Thanks all,

                    Ryan

                          I do have the swap motor mounts (the nice AKG mounts). I'm on the fence about what I'm going to do with the car now-- stock eta motor vs. putting an S52 back in it. S52 would be a couple months from now, so if you are interested we can work something out. Thanks Tyler.

                          Yeah, I thought about putting everything in my E36 M. It's all sold now (well, 6-speed is tentative and I'm considering keeping it vs. selling it very cheap, would be nice behind an S52 w/ 3.73 diff). I just rolled past 202k miles. I guess I'll just see how long a stock S52 can go.. Helps that it was babied with an auto for the first 196k miles.

                              Should have stuck with it, I think the return from a S54 swap is well worth it. It's my plan for the near future. Sorry to see it gone GLWS! Did the engine sell?
