My E30 S54 Turbo + E30 S38 Turbo Cabrio + E28 2JZ-GTE

[Soiled]

I did have some spare time so it's time to investigate what happened with S54. My best quess was loosen valve seat.

Here it goes.

Sitting nicely.


Some lifting.


Little push and there the cars heart is.


Some stripping.


Some more.


And now biggest excitement when taking off the cylinder head.


Some nice piston you got there.


And head also.


But luckily I already have one new head for this engine so I will disassemble broken one and look for clues what happened.
Also big relief that everything else (bearings,block,turbo etc.) is OK.




Now the block is goint to have some washing,fresh paint,drilling,cp pistons,pauter rods etc. and hopefully next summer will be wicked!

DTA has very very unfriendly tuning and everything is an option what you have to pay for (like real time tuning etc.). If comparing to Vems, those are from different planet and Vems is not the bad one (only my opinion of course).



Thank you :up:

This true, I was mostly considering it because it comes with dual vanos operation and basemaps for the s54 already.

[Mr. Schwarz]

What do you do? I would like to do that also.

I can also vouch for VEMS. I can say that the top three fastest FWD VW's in North America are running VEMS. Very reliable and very easy to use/tune IMHO. Nice to see some users out there, plan on running this on my 89 once funds allow.

Very nice! One of the team members (Sambas) is know in the Vems area. He develops code and tests firmwares etc.

Thanks for the reviews. I was debating between DTA and VEMS.

I absolutely love the cars and am absolutely jealous of your collection.
