E30 M3 w/S54 Swap Video

[s14power]

When I get my S50B32 into my M3, we should do a comparison. :). Those old street tires are pretty impressive - my '05 Hankook C50s couldn't get through 10 without waggling the tail last year with 184rwhp (in the 323).

im down! should be fun!
yea the Goodyear eagle f1's surprised me too, they get a little greasy when real hot, but other wise a great street tire,
nothing like an RA-1 or HO-HO's

Uummm, it says Dynojet right on the graph.

I should pay better attention next time. But either way those are extremely optimistic for a non cammed, stock compression engine without race gas... That's almost 30whp over most fully tuned, bolt-on S54s. I'd like to see a baseline for the same car before the tune to see if the dyno reads high or not.

And to be clear, the Epic tune requires a 3.5" exhaust and the right headers to hit 350ish. That is *not* a streetable setup. In fact, the optimum exhaust has track noise restriction issues.

I don't know that I would choose to run standalone, but it's certainly not worth the cost of switching to a stock or even a different ECU now.

Not necessarily, there's a few guys running the 3" AA Race E36 exhaust making 340-350ish with the SS Stepped headers. 3.5" isn't required but it does add more top end.

Many street cars are putting 330whp down with a reasonably civil exhaust with a variety of tuners....fact is the S54 is an amazing powerhouse of a motor.

Wow! I could sleep to that music. Thank you for not spoiling it with a music back round.

LOL, youre welcome... im not one to add house music to the sound of s54.... that would of been a major disservice...

Damn nice car! Glad you drive it too! Seems like it rev's forever. Must be nice not have ing to shift all the damn time.

This will be my next swap.

Love the swap, see an s54 in an e30 but never the e30 m3. Looks like a blast. Glad someone took the time to do it. Best of luck.
