S54 E30 build

[xAZxE30x]

You don't have to do the subframe, e34 pan will work. The wiring is a little bit more involved, but I just followed FredK's diagram and it worked great.. I'm definitely no wiring expert. I just think its a massive step up from the s50 without too much more work. I thought there would already be a lot more of them on the road by the time I got mine done

I think the biggest thing is people charging ridiculous money for re-flashes, which can be avoided by getting in contact with the right people on here.

Yeah that is a good point. I have had a couple buddies pick up some s54's for crazy prices. If I had the spare cash and could sell my m20, I'd be looking for an engine myself. I think that's the perfect combo

I think its still because it requires a bit more fabbing than the other swaps. S5x are easy for anyone with a little bit of skill. but not everyone can do the s54 wiring and the subframe and all that jazz

I think it will still be another couple years before its more common

I'm really surprised more s54 swaps aren't popping up. Motors are getting cheap

Pretty sure I remember him selling his swap a while back.

Which rotor did you have with the 135 brakes? I am getting ready to put that setup on my E36 5 lug E30.

[canakami]

Jebus...those are some stoppers you've got there.

[Asbradley21]

I think this will be enough braking power, no?

[evandael]

I would go with an S2.73 with the ZF. Especially with that much power.

s54 wants to rev though. i think he's safe with the 3.25.

Sub'd.. Curious to see how you'll complete this BBK and engine swap
