S52 US 3.2L is a larger bored M52. It has the same head of that found on the M52. There are some minor upgrades to aid performance cams and oil pump but im not entirely sure on that oil pump. I can see why one would prefer the US over the euro S50. But those ITBs on the S50 are sweet.
holy fuckin shit that thing goes..... haha id love to see that in person im about to buy my first e30 this week! stock 86 325i 2dr 5 speed in brillintrot red :D
The S50 is the euro version of the S52, put out more power and revved a bit higher, but its also a lot less reliable and harder to get. The S52 if the better choice in my opinion just because of the reliability factor. I might be a bit biased because ive been in an e30 with a built s50 in it when it blew while going 150 and almost killed me and my buddy. But still would prefer the S52
@BOOSTisYourFriend The S50 and S52 are two completely different motors especially when you compare the US spec motors to the Euro motors. The US S50B30 was an entirely different motor than the Euro S50B30 in the fact that it was closer to a standard run of the mill M50. The Euro S50 had an entirely different head, intake, VANOS, piston, and lifter design. The S52 was a US spec only motor which has more in common with the M52 motor and is essentially a bored, stroked, and cammed M52.
after watching this a million times, i think this is too slow. you should be able to hit redline in 5th no problem! haha turbo time. imagine a twin screw or something though.
hmm.. what rear end are you running? and trans? The only different rear end I've had on there was a 4.10 non lsd (small calse) that blew in no less then 5 minutes of driving.
thats ridiculous. My eta might make it to 65 in the same amount of time lol
