ran my s50 swap on the 1/4 mile last nite. its a bone stock s50, with getrag260 and 3.73 in the rear. full interior, sound system, tar in trunk. no weight reduction. ran on 205/55/15 17.5psi in tires and konis on full soft. got massive wheel hop on launch no matter what RPM i launched at every run. couldnt hook up for shit. i hate drag tracks...lol clean concrete street launches are soo much easier.

dial.....14.50
r/t......0.106
60'......2.197
330'....6.104
1/8.....9.353
MPH....76.11
1000'...12.150
1/4......14.547
MPH.....93.81

Ever planning on getting wider tires? 205s on a s50 swapped car seem puny, not trying to be harsh or anything though. I think with better tires your times will be much better.

You would probably hook up better with the konis set stiffer - remember, it's rebound your adjusting. that's probably one factor that cause excessive wheel hop.

i have wider tires for DD status. those were a set of wheels and tires that i didnt mind destroying...hehe

as for the shocks, i was just going off of other ppls advice. maybe i should have had it on stiff....im not going to be going back anytime soon, drag racing is not what this motor swap was meant for. just went for fun b/c a large group of friends all went up there.

I hear you - it's just fun to see what your car can do. those people were probably thinking it controlled compression, but it doesn't. :p

14.25 is a pretty good time for your 318is M52. Nice! still haven't taken mine to the drags yet

Crofton Raceway. About 90 degrees. stock M50, no chip, stock exhaust. 195 tires. First pass EVER.

R/T .992
60' 2.381
330 6.848
1/8 10.418 at 70.4mph
1000 13.387
1/4 15.9 at 87.8 mph

I think the car can do at least 15.5. Blame the driver on this one, I was too busy trying to find the starting line and looking at the flashing pretty lights to get a good start off. It's tougher than it looks launching off kitty litter and tranny fluid.

Update: a week later I ran a 15.5, probably the best I could expect from that motor.

[loonibab325i]

Bump!

keep them times coming.. i want to take mine to the quarter soon.

That's really good! I ran a 15.5 (see ^^) earlier this year, but it was 90 degrees and I was rollin' on 195's and the track was really slippery.

I had VANOS M50.

nice 60ft! Drag racing is a lot harder than it looks. Unfortunately, it's also kinda boring. but it's still fun to see what your cars real performance is. I bet you could get in the mid-low 14s with some practice. me, I'd be happy to be about where you are now.

If I could get some better tiers on my car I know I'd be in the low 14s . I used to drag a lot when I was in high school. These cars are hard to launch I was doing off idle launches. If I could launch at atleast 1500 my et would be a lot lower
