I think I have settled on the euro s52, so now I gotta start saving my pennies for that. Thanks for helping me make up my mind! Hopefully I'll be starting an ix euro s50b32 build thread within the next 6-8 months!
I stand corrected. So euro motor is s50 and NA is s52?

The difference between the m30b35 and the s52b32 are comparable to the difference between an difference due to better mid-range and top-end power.
NA the s52 has much bigger room for improvement then an m30 does.
For boost m30 > s52
Exhaust note s52 > m30
Gas mileage s52 > m30
Maintenance work inside of an e30 s52> m30
Parts cost, and cost of the swap m30 > s52Check out Undr8d Empire on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Undr8dEmpireLlc

Just wanted to say I rode in an OBD1 S52 E30. It was like bat shit crazy. Pulled like a motherfucker from around 3500 all the way to 7800 or so. Ungodly fucking linear power but I suppose anything is when you roll in an M10.1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

Both can run ~500whp on stock internals with just a mls hg. But youre going to need ~22psi vs ~16psi to do it. Yeah, there's a lot more variables to it than just that but the fact of the matter is that 2 valves just fall on their face at higher rpm. I guess you can do headwork and a cam on the m30 to wake up the top end but id rather have vanos, lower boost for equivalent power, hydraulic lifters, COP ignition... and all the other benefits of the newer motor. Just my 3cents.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

japandrew?
seriously tho im glad this was posted in the 24v section for once instead of the m30 section, got some interesting attention I love my m30 swap! and after hearing all this i am very glad i did it!
And yes, I'm glad I posted this here too, I have gotten lot's of useful information.

fyi, IX chassis is different than the regular e30 hence the different suspension parts, and if you mean you hope to be driving a 24v ix, you are dreaming.
but sounds like itll be an interesting project, good to see more Canadians getting into the mix!
I have an m30 swap and its insane fun to drive and i didnt break the bank building it, but like most i dont have the experience of driving both swaps
