Which 24v should I use for a swap?

[kishg]

do a ford 5.0 in an e30.

Make sure it is a rag top. So when it's down, your hair can blow.

Freddy, I sense some hostility towards American cars. Surely you can put down your golf clubs, let your popped collar fall to it's normal resting position, and see past the luxury that your e30 engulfs you with, to ponder the lifestyle of an American Badass?

You ever see the guy with the twin turbo 5.0 e30? That's just want an e30 rear suspension needs...

So the 192hp for an m50 is vanos or NV? i kicked around r3v searchin a while, couldnt find an answer

A 5.0 is a waist of money, for anything but the cars they came in.

M52 =192 M50=189 Vanos or non but the vanos has more TQ.

Doesn't really matter, it's just peak bhp, and the area under the curve is a different story. They will put down anywhere from 160 to 180whp with a chip, depending on the dyno and how well the punk kid who owned the e36 took care of the motor.

Thanks. I heard the NV had a more fun powerband.. which m50 do you have?

[416stroker]

The NV doesnt have as flat of a TQ curve. Due the lack of vanos and the 135mm rods vs TUs140mm rods.

I have NV the powerband is all uptop.

[Stephen]

Cool. Honestly, ill probably be getting whatever is easiest to find (donor car, etc)

Mr. Good,

I am having my personal assistant type this response out to you. American cars have their place. In fact, 98% of those polled in Funeral Home Journal say that their hearse fleet is American.

Sincerely,
Fred

[FredK]

Nah but seriously, American cars can tear it up, and I feel they make one of the best V8s out there.

m50tu with a ebay $400 boost pipe!!! cheapest solution...

[JGood]

There's no replacement for displacement

Glad you feel that way.

'splain? i didn't think they were that costly, do you mean in terms of fab work needed to fit it?

[FredK]

Glad you feel that way.

True. Then what's wrong with paying extra for 0.5 to 0.7L, rather than trying to cam up 2.5L? :p
