I'm also curious about the airbox - custom or some factory peice? it looks like you're not running a MAF?

the air box is the upper cover from a 650 i modified, there is a air mass sensor in it, but i'm only using the air temp sensor portion of the air mass, i'm actually running a alfa-n maf-less software

Very true ^ But if there's any place to go to get an engine swap done right, it's Autocraft hands down.

thanks for all the comments guys, it's a blast to drive, taking it to the dyno this week,g

Finally got take it to the dyno, did a couple pulls for baseline , got 322whp n 266 torque, time to put on the csl intake n go back,

Is it true that there is a video of that car beating the sh*t out of an E46 M3? Hear the E46 was given a jump on the roll and still got taken down with ease.

should pick up a bit more power if you get rid of that pig rich area too! :)

[matthugie]

Wow, incredible build! And it should easily walk an e46 m3. If an s50/s52 e30 is faster to 100 or so, the s54 should eat it.

I just finished my S54 swap. I had to do it on the E36 because I just could not find a nice E30 and I've been searching for a while.
I documented my progress in detail, if you care to read the post on another forum.

i saw that it went crazy rich after 6500, the tune is a mild street tune, the intake setup is basically stock except for the bimmerworld elbow, i have a csl oem intake that i'm going to try next before i do any changes to the tune, we did 2 pull to 7k, then a 3rd to 8k in 4th gear the power was still strong at 8200, i love the torque very linear from 4k, gonna do some 9k pulls with the csl intake i wanna c where this thing stops, then after that do a race tune, before i put the 3.4 in
