Do you have information about the swap

[gobuffs]

Like? The 24v swap thread covers everything but the S54 electronics and that is covered well in other places

This is a video last year at VIR on the then new S54 in my car. The first white car is a very fast JP car, the silver car is a Euro 3.2 E36. I hestitated passing but then did and had no issues.

After watching this if you have both engines in your possession how could you even consider the s50? I would sell the s50 to fund the s54 swap, problem solved.

Driven S50,s52,s38 and s54 The S54 is by far better. I don't even care too much for the s50.

A stock s54 mapped correctly is over 300rwhp on 91 octane. Can go higher on race fuel/race mapping

A mapped s54 on a standalone with double vanos gives you similar power to a s52 stage 1.5 supercharger or stage 1 turbo s52 power but with no blower/turbo. Obviously the boosted platforms would have boosted torque delivery (and boosted issues).

Also the high rpm sheer velocity is a fun kick; Similar to a built turbo motor with high cams.
