Wanna see a 318is with an S54 driven balls-out in a time trial?

Very nice.

Now that would be fun. Props to you for having a swapped e30 and actually using it for what it was meant for- laps. Plus the s54 is just mean. Do you have any more info on the swap/build of the car?

I've documented the swap here:

There aren't too many pictures, but all of the information required to swap is in there.

wow - so awesome. tempted to do this now that I just spun a bearing on the 318is s52. are you using a 6sp? or zf320?

love how you can leave it in gear out of the corner instead of downshifting - pulls for soo long.

Oof man, sorry to hear about the spun bearing!

I'm using a ZF320, as I already had one sitting around. It's paired to a 3.46. It revs pretty high on the highway, but on the track, I doubt I'd have to shift to 5th at many places.
