Well, maybe in 2009 I'll try something like this, when you can buy an S54 on a street corner for around $4500. :mrgreen:

Well, it's 2k9, and it's not on the street corner, but close. :mrgreen:

So has anyone on these boards run the evosport hardwire aem they offer?

Its listed at $3495. on their web site, thats too expensive for me to warrant the benefits of an s54 swap, but many of you have much deeper pockets

Is the price the only thing thats scaring people away? Or are their other compatibility setbacks to running this option?

Yeah, I've got some stuff brewing for the S54 also.

MS41 and MS42 first. Then I'll tackle the tough stuff.

Is this just a rumor or is it fact?

You talkin' to me? My post is a question...so I don't know if it is a rumor or a fact.

:up: Sounds good!

Perusing car-part.com it seems like S54s are getting slightly more available and slightly cheaper. Hopefully I can grab one locally so I can take all of the EWS parts with it.

Sigh. I'm financially committed to another project ...........Maybe later this year--WAY later.

I though D'Sylva was able to program out the EWS on the S54 ECU?

Sigh. I'm financially committed to another project right now, and I feel slightly frustrated that I can't go out and buy an S54 and get elbows deep into the engine bay (but mostly with the wiring). Maybe later this year--WAY later.

You've got 11 months and some change, I'm holding you to that.
