wasnt m3 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Very true. I know for a fact that just 6psi wakes up an s50:) Edited February 4, 2012 by wasnt m3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 An s54 swap is NOT a weekend project.... An s54 takes a ton of fabrication. There are around five to ten running s54 swaps on r3v and bfc. And S52/S50 are totally different stories, those are weekend projects for sure if you have everything ready to go. 15 large does not seem bad for an s54 swap.

alexw Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I got another email from VAC today stating with labor I'd be looking at $29,000 for the S54 swap. That's laughable.Im not overly interested as it is, the S52 is a whole lot more reasonable and cheaper to mod (or fix) to boot!What a joke.

Ryan... Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Good god...You could have a 750whp turbo'd S52, with fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, titanium Brembos, and a 50 cal mounted on the roof for less than $29k...More realistically, an s52 + some mods (cams, etc..) + 6 speed would be epic, and again, feasible to get all that swapped in for less than $8k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 29k LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexw Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm shooting for 8K as my project budget. But there is a s54 on r3v for sale, guy lives in Milwaukee.Low miles, complete turn key into an e30 for 9k. Everything included to put in an e30!But I think that's a little expensive still. S52 is the way to go, few years from now it'll be the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexw Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 We'll see if it's still around after the sale of my M3. I still think an S52 is the way to go, so much cheaper overall.We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
