E30 S50 on the dyno

[MMfoe]

How much did this cost, to fit it in E30?

[niktus1]

what is 0 to 100km/h time for this combination?

[audi3333]

how does the car feel.

is it torquey?

what about the drive characteristics

does it feel heavy up front?

how has it affected the handling?

i am interested in installing a s50 in my e30 but cant really find much info on the car handling changes.

@audi3333

It was a great upgrade and never felt front heavy. The best daily engine I have ever had.

[audi3333]

@GunniGST thanks, appreciate your response. did you fit an e36 or z3 steering rack?

any suspension upgrades?

regards

[GunniGST]

@audi3333

this was back in 2002, nobody was doing Z3 rack conversions back then. And no real suspension mods to speak off.

Is the e32 750i brake pump special and needs to be connected to power steering pump?

[GunniGST]

E32 750i hydraulic master cylinder, and brake bomb connected to power steering pump

[labclo10]

What brake booster have you put in?

[GunniGST]

@labclo10 : I tried the 750i booster, remote vacuum booster and I liked the remote booster, but today I´d have gotten myself a smaller servo and had the plenum modified.

[GunniGST]

it was down 10hp but up on torque.

The exhaust system was custom made and was badly designed by the exhaust place so there was a restriction in it a single "2.5 collector where there should have been a "3 one.

later burned all the exhaust valves because of the high backpressure, was also knocking.

[Icearnie]

How come power is down... valve clarence needed doing?

[GunniGST]

@Icearnie Not sure. Might have been the restrictive custom exhaust that later burned the valves.
