how fast is your s50e30????

[mohamadr89]

this should be a thread where everybody says what mods are done to their s50e30, the kind of cars they keep up with(sti's, e46 m3's ect..), drag times, hp, torque, whp ect. this should be good.

It's not very quick. It's down 40whp from my E46 M3 and doesn't have double vanos to make torque down low.

With cams, I could get close to the same power peak output as the S54, but it's all delivered up top where it's of strictly limited utility.

my e30 is powered by crying babies

OP, I don't think you'll ever be happy.

S50 swapped cars aren't fast like you think they are fast. They are fun as all hell though.

I've driven many cars and I can honestly say that a swapped car is one of my favorites. Paired with the right suspension/tires/brakes and nothing compares.

Well thanks for all of your opinions. I'm already in the project a few grand so there is no turning back now. In the future i want to build the motor than turbo it so if I'm not happy at first I'm sure I'll be happy in the end lol

No motor, no suspension = slow.

I miss my E46 M3 - and the S50'd E36 I sold to build my S50 E30 was boring. So I knew this car would not be ridiculously fast, just be hella fun because of the weight and size differences.

Also, I always thought 3.15 rear ends with the ZF 1/1 was kind of tall with an S50 that has very little torque. Bump it to a 3.25 or similar and it may get that seat of pants impression everyone looks for. Clearly does not make it quicker, just feel that way.

On a scale of 1 to super fast, its pretty fast.
