M50B25

M52 Pistons 84.5mm
M52 Crank
S50 Cams
Fully rebuilt M50

Issues: Needs a tune, but need to sort out oil leak and a few other minor things before that is done.

[PiercedE30]

what you put in- M50B29

any issues- Couldn't get a tune for an 11.5:1 NV motor due to lack of knock sensors, decided to install knock sensors and run MS2/Extra. Runs great, little bit of wandering idle at times due to PWM control issues that I haven't really cared about enough to tune out.

whatever you care to disclose.
Made 230 ft/lbs of torque with dual NV intake cams. Currently running NV intake and S50 exhaust (reground NV exhaust cam to S50 specs).

^yeah dood, you fucked up......

[RedHoodRidah]

Started early January-Completed swap mid-February


-M50B25

- Leaking PS fluid from one of the lines. :)

- Pretty good with a Getrag 240 and 4.10 rear. Seems to be pretty fun so far. Daily driven since the swap put about 3kmiles on it since with no major issues since day 1 and plan on keeping it that way.
M42 was taking up engine bay space so it had to find a way out and it decided to lose compression.

What about me? I started mine last july and drove it around the block literally today.

[xLegendOZWest]

260 trans with 3.91 rear end. needs exhaust so so so bad!

[Mohammed_A]

what you put in - S50B32

Issues - gertrag tranny that i put in was stuffed, had to replace with ///M3 tranny, still have a surging problem and rough idle.
Still needs a tune and an engine wash

[SamE30e]

M50 Non-Vanos into my 91 318is.

Issues - Constantly hunting for an idle but hopefully fixed with a new exhaust.
And oil filter stand leak.
Shifter selector rod from a E36 doesn't work with the G240, just shortened my M42 rod.

Time to complete - 2 months taking my time dicking around.

[z31maniac]

I'll be putting in an OBD-I S52B32, 3.5 MAF, BW intake boot, maybe do a BBTB, eBay SS headers, 2.5" single exhaust.

Issues: Need more monies to finish.
