my m50 swap in progress... pics (no 56k)

[mazur]

This my engine bay. Still in tuning process but had achieved 334rwhp already. Then some engine bay clean-up and wiring hiding will take place.

What exhaust manifold are you using that your wastegate is all the way up there?!

Can I say wierd/inefficient?

Ok, how the hell do you guys find m50s for under $500 ?

Just being patient and lucky I guess. I landed my 92k mile '92 non-vanos setup for $400. It included the motor, tranny, all accesories, wiring harness, computer......everything. I was on Ebay one day, saw the listing, found out that the guy only lived about 10 min from me, called him on the phone, drove over the next day and offered him cash ($100 less than what the auction was sitting at)........He was so happy that he didn't have to screw around with shipping it that he took it in a heartbeat.

Danny - excellent job on the swap - very clean!

Gotta give me a spin in the car, I can compare it to your m20 powered car, and get an idea of the difference.

Can you post a final total of what it cost, start to finish? The calypso project car may go m50, so I wanted to see what the complete project cost you.

Thanks bub.

334rwhp.. id be scared. nice swap dan. looks clean in there.

STUPID??? WAAAAAT?? Unless you mean taking the high winding s14 out for a grunting L6....

I am going to guess that the point of diminishing returns on hp in e30s is about 350... more than that and the cost becomes WAY higher than the performance benefit.

I am no s14 purist... I think it's a great motor for 2002s. But a turbo S52 in an e30 just doesn't make sense to me.

BTW, you working monday?

ac lines

I don't know if this will help for the a/c lines. Try zionsvilleautosport.com they seem to have a kit made to convert the e30 to e36.

Nice job..

How many miles were there on that M20?

[kylebes1]

They are out there... I know of a 3.2 turbo going into an e30 M3.

I think it's fucking stupid, but to each his own.
