But turbo m20s sound soooo much cooler than an NA s50

I beg to differ... The sound of all that compression ratio... Nothing sounds better than a euro S50/S54 paired up with a good exhaust system.

or...


take out a student loan and stick my euro S50 in there. A motor swap is a perfectly acceptable fix action for a stripped exhaust manifold stud.:devil:

Don't you tempt me with those ideas

Meh, to each their own. 24v are too raspy for me, but I haven't really heard one with a decent resonator I guess

I might be in the minority here, but I think US M/S50s sound kinda bad. Euro S50s and S54s sound amazing though.

Does this count?

This is what I was referring to, because the motor in question was a euro S50.. Paired with a good exhaust (B&B Tri-Flo is one of the best sounding systems with those motors IMO) it's hard to beat. I can't comment on the US M/S5x cars because I've never heard one in person.

M30s sound better.

I'll insert sound clip later.

I've actually really been considering a b35. Of course I'd want to boost it hehe

Tee hee....my wagon is running IE headers --> Vibrant res --> Magnaflow res --> Vibrant muffler. All 3". It's heavenly.

I'll get a shitty clip with my cracked Iphone after work.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

M30 or nothing

[AbsorbantNut]

still gonna say turbo m20 > NA US m/s5x

[lambo]

Well I have $2-3k to play with. Really tempting to pick up an engine to swap. Really leaning towards the m30b35... Or I could spend $1k to fix up the m20 and do an exhaust, get some new seats, do a roll bar and pick up some Broadway Static coilovers... Hmmm...

Also, I just emailed SpinTech and they don't have any 16" OZ parts 😞

2-3k is a decent budget to get you going in almost any direction. What do you want to do with the car? It's fun to have a quick motor, but if you want it to look good, a refreshed m20, rebuild the OZs, and broadways will def do the job.

it's because I'm a #scenepointsellout :pimp:

You could try e-wheel-works, wheelssquared(derek_antiair), tommy604604, spinfab.....someone has to have the stuff you need
