    Me too lol. At the end of the day if it fails I am just going back to an S52 compressor, direct wire it and the fan to the AC button and call it a day lol.

          Small update, was finally able to install my newly refurbished Amp by Bradnic. The system never sounded so good!

            Mmm, factory fresh!

            Was the old one damaged or just upgraded?

            I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.

              The old one was damaged. All four channels worked, but they would cut off and distort, so basically I had to leave it on the rears and keep volume down. Now it works great!

                  I dont know if anyone checks these anymore, but I finally got around to getting the S54 to the Dyno.

                  Not too bad 311 HP and 263 TQ to the wheels. I am using the stock airbox and fairly stock exhaust setup.

                    Car is looking absolutely fantastic... I wish I had stuck with the S54 swapped version of my car and developed / refined it to this level. Hope you're enjoying it!

                            Not yet, it was weighed when I first built it. I need to get to that. I am in the middle or restoring and E38 740i sport right now as a daily, that has taken some of my time, along with a 5 month old kid lol,

                              They did three pulls I had them send me all three as an overlay. Very happy with the car, really consistent numbers.

                                Small update for anyone who still reads these. After years of fighting with the gpeterson canbus and multiple attempts to get the AC working consistently in my car I went in a different direction. The funny thing is when I removed the canbus it fixed a bunch of other little issues I was having with the car. It was a great idea with poor execution and no support.

                                I pulled all of it out and went with this product from Race German. https://racegerman.com/collections/e...-ac-module-kit

                                It cleaned up my wiring considerably, now my aux fan works in the OEM way and the AC turns on and off and blows cold consistently. $250 well spent!
