can you say stealth?

Wow S54 with a very non descript E30 looks. Love it.

Very Nice! Wheels are turning in my head at the moment....


Do you think a CSL intake would fit in the e30 engine bay??



This one's in a Z3...

Yes, but you have to delete the brake booster... :(

Idk not really wroth the power gain vs cost...you could do a LS1 swap twice for the same price.

This is a debate that could go on forever. It's not about the COST here dude. It's about what someone wants in THEIR car.

Plus the fact that the sound the CSL intake makes is soooooo yummmmmmmmy.

I swear I've seen an S54 with a CF airbox in an E30.... I'll have to find my secret stash of awesome photos and have a looksee!

Ryan has one in his car.

The pics that Polak posted are of RyanG's car.

I think the next E30 I do will be an S54 swap... pretty bad-ass car there Andrew!

Threads move faster than my crappy broadband here. Didn't see Polak's post but knew Ryan G had one.

[einstein57]

Umm...... that's extremely doable! Could you really get the swap done for that price?? ...anybody?

It can be done. But if you have to ask then you probably couldn't. Its like anything else you do to your e30. The price doubles if your not 100% sure on how to do it on your own.

Make me a fool - and show me that the wiring isn't *way* more complex than a relay.

you know, people freak out about wiring. but the wiring is fairly simple. there are way more other things to solve that are harder and/or more expensive.

also, why spend $3000 on standalone? Especially if it's a DD - even if you paid somebody to flash the DME for you, it's going to cost a lot less than that.

And why not keep EWS? I'm thinking I wouldn't want my E30 stolen that I just spent a couple years of research plus $10,000 on the S54 swap.

anyway, way cool looking car.
