What "bolt ons" bring an s52 to 300hp and what's the cost?

[BimmerTim]

Ok let me put it this way. With the numbers you want and with the powerband you also want the only way is a supercharger.

This is what I'm talking about. You absolutely don't need to S/C or turbo to make that power. Those options are the easy way out.

If you research and have the know-how, my numbers are not crazy. Trust me, I not a rookie at this game. I have made more from less.

Don't really see why you are starting to attack me.

I'm building it as a daily, not for crazy hp numbers.

Wow you can build a VW good for you.

N/A, have you read this at all.

And I will do it. First, I am putting miles on my E30 as it sits, and I am building a 16v Jetta Coupe for the daily.

Don't know BimmerJoe, but the M20 isn't quite an S50, now is it?

I'm not looking for ridiculous numbers, 350 is very attainable.

Just because you all do the exact same mods and get the same results, doesn't mean that I can't make more power.

[Stephen]

What you guys dont realize is bimmerTim tought BimmerJoe who got 450whp out of his m20.

[Danny]

I will come down on you like the fist of an angry god.

[Uber E30]

Im messing with you man, relax!

[Danny]

Do I need to quote what I told Alex?

I'm hoping that was sarcasm.

[Uber E30]

Turbo

how'd that work out for you?

Turbo

Clearly you folks don't have a great understanding of the S50/52 engines and where and why it's hard to make power.

Where do they all fall short?
What can you see from nearly all the dyno sheets you ever look at?
What is the key factor in making hp that most people skimp on in the BMW world?

Just do it instead of talking about it.
