Good things come to those who wait...

He said he just wants to take the alum m52 block and make an s52 I thought...

I know, a swap in general will make baby Jesus cry...

Thanks for all the support and kind words guys!

I will be swapping out the s14 for sure. It's a nice motor and all, but after driving my s52 swap for the past 3 years, I can't afford to give up all that torque! :p

Plus the s14 has been rebuilt with some nice pistons, valves, valve springs, new timing components, etc. I can get $4-6k no problem for the whole s14 swap, which will cover my aluminum s50 build, cams, euro headers, dyno tune, and a good amount towards the paint job. ;)

The m52 will be bored out to an s50, already have a complete bottom end for the parts. I will be putting nice sleeves in it to handle a possible blower later down the road. I will also be heli-coiling the block, getting ARP head studs, and a factory thickness cometic head gasket.

If I get bored of the NA power, which i know I will, I'll be putting an RMS stage 2 supercharger on the car. With the intake manifold, euro headers, and the Schricks, the blower would make some nice numbers! :twisted:

The car is also getting some 18" staggered Alpinas!!! :pimp:

put a turbocharged 13b-rew from the fd rx7 in there. 400whp easy.

and you'll even get better handling than with the s14.

:P

s/c is a terrible idea. Turbo or bust on these motors.

Damn Im jealous...

Id love to see some Alpina Softline 2 piece wheels on there.

What brand sleeves are available for these? Darton?

If a blower goes on the car, then it will be on the s50. ;)

If I kept the s14, then I'd definitely get the new version of RMS' centrifical blower. I've decided after driving numerous turbo cars over the past few months, that it's either NA or SC for me. :p

I went to go look at it in monrovia... Its definitely a good buy!

[CO318is]

Is this the car that had the baby blue intake plenum? Nice pick up and though I would say keep the s14, it sounds like your build should be great.
