building a 24v DOHC engine

Bwahaha you got the same response over there. Awesome. Like Lee said, if your build was actually going to happen you wouldnt be posting dumb questions like these. I have no intention of ever building a M50 stroker yet Ive come upon at least 20 threads detailing the exact parts that go into it over on bfc. I dont know about you but Id rather be an asshole than a moocher anyday.

hahaha, OP: I meant SEARCH at bf.c

done. i suppose i'll update this thread when things start to happen. thanks to those who gave advice.

dude, go to bimmerforums.
I'm not "shoing" you off, but the e36 guys over there know all the crazy m50/s52 combos.

m52
same head as an s52, minus cams/springs/retainers

sounds good. no one has mentioned rods. lets say im going to use an s50 crank. which rods should i use? pistons will probably be custom low comp 1mm overbore

[SpecM]

options are m50nv, m50 vanos, or m52 head. cams and valve will likely change so it doesnt matter a whole lot

just use a s52 head

hmm. interesting. so, starting with an m50 block, what would i do for the cams/head?

^^ the cylinder walls are thicker and can take more pressure

Even after he bores them to 2.9L?

Epic thread!

I say m50nv block, s52b32/m54b30 crank, and 84mm (85mm tops) pistons

strong block, long stroke, and narrow bore for more sealing

why is an m50nv block any stronger than a vanos m52 or an m52 block?

My sarcasm apparently was not noticed. +1 on bimmerforums though.

You're cool.

[dpgrand]
