How really fast is a S52 or M50 E30...

[Good & Tight]

holy shit.

well i wanna see videos!!!!

You wanna see vids, here's my bone stock M30 on boost with a stock 335i from a 20 roll.
Traction ownes me for a bit but not for long. Silly twin cam swappers thinking your shit is so fast. haahaa!!!!

[etxxz]

hehe i don't think anyone here denies what a big six on boost can do... or what a 24v on boost can do... but traction owns ever e30 out there.. hell, that's why i bought one (...or three)

Its 100 pounds I think.

It's 1/10th of a second for every 100lbs.

And a M50B25 E30 isn't as quick as people think, it can take a B18 Civic.

If I could do it all over again, I'd do an M30 swap.

Yeah I think I would have gone the euro s50b32 way.

Shit son! Zach's M30 swap is sitting in my shop. everyday i work on it i want a M30 more and more....

Is there any difference in the parts list between the US and euro s50? If and when I swap, I wanna use the Euro, but just wondering if all the other parts needed are the same

Most of the swap parts are the same but they a diffrent engines for the most part.

[Bishop]

Yeah i know the engines are different, just wondering about anything else

There's some brake booster/plenum clearance issues from what I've heard.

[BeirBrennerE30]

That's not the conclusion I would have come to after looking at the 1/4 mile times in your sig.

both of those are from a stop.... e30 from a stop is just a smoke show. It runs all over the 135 taking the launch out of the equation.

Yes I think you need to use a remote break booster like the 540i.

[Bishop]

Ok, well thanks for the info guys. I'll look into it in more detail when I decide to swap

I got a really good launch on slicks that are 16x9 with M/T's.
