S54 + 6-speed + stock ECU in my M3! Love it!

[e30m3power]

Rui @ Azevedo Motorsports finished my car a couple weeks ago and I finally got it home. In addition to the S54 and 6-speed, I also had him install PTG headers, a LW flywheel and A Spec Clutch.

The install is very clean and it's running the factory computer! I'm using the elcetric pedal as well and to be honest, I really don't feel a difference between the physical cable and electric throttle. The freakin thing revs like a motorcycle. It's great!


The car pulls hard in every gear. I'm currently running a 3.46 diff but I'm thinking of trying a 3.73, as per his suggestion. The 3.46 worked well with the 5-speed but with the extra gear, I can go the 3.73 route.


Here are a some pics. When the weather is better, I'll be revisiting the same dyno I used with the Euro engine, to get a decent comparison.


Future upgrades include:


CSL Carbon Fiber airbox + tune
Big brake kit
Recaro SRD's in Leather/Alcantara

Looks awesome! I bet you could go 3.91 no problem...my buddy did with his 6-speed s54 swap.

I havent finished mines yet, do to rust head aches. But how does it feel in the e30. OK with traction or poor traction?

[e30s50dan]

What's your brake setup..don't see the abs!

[e30m3power]

King Mufasa - Traction is ok as long as you're careful ;)

e30s50dan - No ABS, you're correct. I don't need it. I'm gonna go BBK soon anyways.

You got some balls sir. The first thing I would want in an s54 m3 with a BBK is abs lol. I would probably lock up the brakes left and right.

Swap looks great btw!

Mental is right!

Abs is being deleted in mine as well and as been in several others on here.

beauteous

I went without abs in my e36m3 5lug car. felt a bit weird on the streets but right at home at the glen

I can't wait till my vert is done...different Azevedo though.

I've never in my 9 years of driving this car needed the ABS or had it come on when trying to stop. I don't drive it in the rain, snow or whenever else it would be needed anyways.
