    New kid on the block with a block ;)

    What do you guys think? I'm having a hard time on which direction I should go. Current whip already has an M50BTU and got a good hook up on a S54. It would be awhile before I can save up for the remaining parts needed. The other route was turboing this mofo. It's soooo much cheaper and could finish earlier after doing lots of research on a good setup. Oh what to do....

    Current whip:



    The motor. >:) Muahahahaha!!

        I know but it would take me a year to do the swap. If I buy the S54 it would be on that stand for a year collecting dust (more like me drooling everyday). Too impatient. Turbo set up would be a done deal in 2 months.

          alot of work involved with an s54, but it's a rare and awesome sight to behold in an e30. I vote m50 turbo. Otherwise, I see 2-3 years before you have it up and running. Do you have a trans for the s54 lined up as well?

                      If I was a baller! By that time I'll probably have another e30 m3.

                        My bad but forgot to do the intro. Where's my manners? Name's Jino and been in nothing but bimmers and porsches ( e30 m3, 944 turbo, 911 widebody, e36 m3, e46 330i, and much more). here's a couple pics of previous and current. :)

                        First e30 M3. :( Wish I could find it again.

                        My 911s and others



                        Current e30:


                        Hopefully this will be swapped soon. :)
