Horsepower, do you know the weight difference between the RB26 and S54? I only ask considering "on paper" the power numbers are close. Of course, I have no clue what I'm taking about with either.

It is hard to tell, but on top of my head I think is a tad heavyer. I don't know how much longer the block of the S50/S54 is compared to the M20, but the RB block is 10cm longer than the M20B20 block I have in my garage.Originally posted by MyE30 View Post
The RB is also lower in hight than the S50/S54, think we might be talking 2-3cm in height. The gearbox is also going about 25-30cm more backwards in the car compared to the 6 speed S50/54 gearbox.1987 BMW E30 M3 RB26

Not much. 8.5" with 215/35's and 9" with hopefully 245/35's, if not I have to use 235/35's or 235/40's.Originally posted by The Dark Side of Will View Post

Much thicker. I have no measured, but it seems the RB have like 10mm between the cylinders and not 2 or 3 mm like the S50/54.Originally posted by Nisse Järnet View Post1987 BMW E30 M3 RB26
