Ive ridden in a s50 swap and m50 swap, haven't driven one myself.
The reality is your build purpose/direction. Period correct, power, a balance of the two, stock motor with some umph, etc. Everyones goals are different. I am struggling between a stroker M20 or S54 in my vert. Both have upsides and downsides, but I am torn. Everyone in here would argue which is the better option, and I would bet those are the same struggles going through my head right now.- Greg

Why does he keep comparing the m42 to an s14?
Just because they are both 4 cylinders?
Hell, might as well throw in the m10 and then the m12, because those are both four bangers.

the s14 stock makes 82hp/liter (190/2.3). the m42 makes 77hp/liter (140/1.8). the m20 makes 68hp/liter. the m42 and s14 are the most comparable engines for e30s that came factory equipped. m42 with a $150 chip is making roughly 82hp/liter (150/1.8) and is in s14 territory without ITBs.
m42 is pretty potent. the m10 is not in the same ballpark AT ALL with 55hp/liter factory.Last edited by 5Toes; 02-11-2016, 07:12 PM.
