how fast is your s50e30????

[mohamadr89]

Mine is pretty fast imo

S50
dinan bbtb,
raceland headers
euro hfm
TRM tune (going to get updated soon)
decided against cams becuase i didnt want to loose low end torque
21# injectors
3.25 diff
getrag 260
lightweight flywheel
fan delete

soon to have
ferrera valves,
cometic head gasket and arp studs (for what? future boost maybe)
but keeping the compression stock
updates springs and retainers

I love racing on short road race tracks where the smaller less powered car has an edge. At streets of Willlow, I was consistently running about .5-.75 faster times than the e92 m3s with similar skill levels.

I bet that a properly driven e92 m3 would blow the doors off me but my power to weight ratio is great imo

hey i have a question for you, how was your experience with raceland headers? mine should be in tomorrow and i ordered the ones with the flange on the end that bolt up to the e36 m3 exhaust because thats what i have. did you order the same ones and how do you like it??

[mohamadr89]

You can definitely pull on an e46 M3 with a well sorted S5X e30. I'd pull on my friends stock Z4 M Coupe all day and that car is significantly lighter than an e46 M.

i cant wait til mine is done. i'd say about another week or so. thanks for the info

It was a vague post so I'm guessing its either one of the mustangs from 1965 to 2011..can't be too sure though

I seriously doubt it was a new one. Even my F150 can beat an old mustang...lol

wonder if he meant Mustang II??

A buddy of mine is a pony car guy and said by his estimation (based on power,weight, etc) a properly swapped e30 should do pretty well against most (stockish) mustangs 05 and before.

the new 412 hp mustang?? The one that the e9X M3 can't beat??

I've beat 4 v8 mustangs

3.73 LSD and a 240 getrag, car at about 2600lbs, full bolt ons and a TRM tune I can pull even with an e90 M3 through third. At higher speeds aero starts working against you, though.

I'm on the 4.10 LSD. can't wait to put on a 3.73 LSD. :)

My M50 was pretty fast....

[e30_325es]

I've beat 4 v8 mustangs, 3 highway, 1 from a 20mph roll. On a 100degree day it put down 250whp corrected and ran 13.9's @103ish. s50/zf/2.93lsd. schricks, pistons, trm remote tune taht still needs work.

More to come since I'm rebuilding due to a blown head gasket......bigger, stronger, faster....

I finally got to drive my swapped car for the first time. I gotta say, I'm damn impressed! It's actually seat of the pants fast :giggle:
