So from the ashes of my turbo car will come a N/A beast. My S54 has been purchased and is being shipped to me as I type. I scored a low mileage 73k S54 and I will go through all the lovely steps to install it right here on the R3V. Hoping to lighten the car a bit with the S54 and then go after some old suspension and maybe pickup some new wheels to fit a staggered setup on the car. First mod is already in for the S54, 2002 booster goodness.

headers care of my brother. And a section one from my brother as well.
It appears that I won't have to do much but maybe just add a 2-1 and connect to my cat and resonator and back muffler

Installed the Pedal Bracket and pedal.
I did not have much trouble. I simply installed the top bolt spaced it out got it snug then swung the lover notched part to the floor, seated it to the floor then tightened the bolt. I did have to move the steering retainer clamp around from the 0600 position to the 0900 position but otherwise, it was pretty simple.Last edited by BMW_TUNER; 07-28-2017, 09:40 AM.1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.

So The recycled I purchased my S54 from has good prices but they have dropped the ball on delivery. I will give a full review when I receive my motor Monday.1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.

First major setback... the recycler double sold my S54. Aka out from underneath me and I had already paid for it. They are going to try to make it right.1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.

Well, the original recycler did not come through on the S54 so I have requested a full refund. They ended up double selling the engine, shady shit. I have an engine coming from Texas now.1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.

Learned that Technica Glues the flat part on their water pipe, when the drill bit caught and ripped it off. Starting over.Last edited by BMW_TUNER; 08-02-2017, 11:09 AM.1989 332IS -S-Fiddy Four-Some weight removed.
