A non-vanos is going to make more power then a vanos engine. Vanos is only engaged from ~1200 RPM's until ~5200 RPM's. In that range, the vanos engine *might* make more power, but after 5200, the non-vanos will be make more power due to it's much more aggressive cam profiles.

When I put the E30 CSB on backwards the driveshaft seems to shift too much to the driver's side before the CSB and then back toward the diff after the CSB.
I positioned the CSB with the rubber dust lip toward the rear of the car. When it's in this position the CSB carrier bracket has a short arm on the driver's side and a long arm on the passenger side.
Do I need to reverse this and put the CSB in the correct orientation or why am I having this issue when everyone says to put it backwards?Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!

Unless you do it yourself thats gonna be what your going to pay. I dont care how straight foward it is, a motor swap is alot of work. And mechanics dont work for free. If you want to pay less than that you need to get a second car to drive and work on swapping the motor on your free time.

what would u think is a fair quote?..
find a tech that can do it "on the side"....or in his spare time....youll save a bit....
I must say 3-5k is in the ball park.....some may be cheaper for sure.....some could be more.
and what do those quotes incl?....
getting it done on the cheap......and getting it done 100% / reliable is not the same.
I paid for my s50 swap....done by a shop that had done dozens of them....and 3 yrs later Im still making it perfect.I love sitting down and just driving!

I can compare only to what I have experienced. The absolute max I would pay is $2500 and thats pushing it; but needless to say I need this completed this summer before I head back to school. I currently have all the parts I need to complete the swap but being how straight forward this job is I would have never thought to have gotten quote so high.

There's people who toss in a junkyard engine in a weekend by themselves without buying a single new part, there's others who take it to a shop and have them replace every last seal, nut, bolt, clip, and spend lots of time on proper fabrication, wiring, etc...
