Or the sequel, part 2, etc. We finally learn who Luke's father is...
Anyway, I've been running the same M54 since the end of 2008 and it's been a great success. I've changed configuration on dozens of things, made lots of trips to the dyno and learned everything I would need for the second M54 swap.
So, I picked-up a 85k mile motor out of a wrecked cream-puff e39 this weekend. It'll be easier to start with this motor than to pull my existing one and have the car down all year.
The plan includes:
-ArcAsylum subframe and notched oil pan. The e34 pan has always bugged me hanging out front.
-Megasquirt wiring from the git-go. I've got a mashup of M50, M54 and "other" wiring harnesses
-M50 intake manifold. The head will be port matched to the larger intake diameter.
-ArcAsylum headers??
Dyno data from a similar setup demonstrates 250whp.
