My E30M3 S14B23 -> S50B32 -> RB26DETT. We are alive!! p.28

[MyE30]

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.

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.

Something arrived at the door today. More pictures later when I have tried them on the car!

[litu]

Those rims are one the best looking rims ever :)

[Nisse Järnet]

Nice going! Is it the bigger bore that makes the RB26 longer? Thicker walls? 10cm seems alot!

[The Dark Side of Will]

Please don't stretch.

[Mr. Horsepower]

Please don't stretch.

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.

Glad to hear that you like the project. Coming some parts later this week as well. And there wil be done stuff during the holidays.

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.

There's just something about old BMW's with a JDM twist...
