@op when you said you re-used main bearings and rod bearings , were those from the m50 or m54
also why did you have to shorten vanos gear / what kind of grinder was used?
forgot to ask if the m50 head was used or something else?

Could I use an s50 rotory assembly in an m50 block?
after all of this is done what engine management are you using and what kind of tune will be required. I have all the parts you have listed and would like to know about the ecu tuning and so on .
I've done quite a few S50 kits, if you choose right you can find something that uses all stock sensors and preserves full VANOS operation... my suggestion is Vi-PEC or Pectel; we've tried them all and these are our choice.after all of this is done what [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue ! important]engine[/COLOR][/COLOR] management are you using and what kind of tune will be required.

so this is a direct replacment not a piggy back, so i would need them to tune it by dyno or tell the specifacs of the car. The only dealer in Alberta is in calgary which is about 3.5 hours away meaning an expensive tow or trailer rental. but seems legit and understandable. what did you do to use this vi- PEC?
Nice job man! Simple and concise. Thinking of doing the same in the summer. Any particular bits I should have in mind before starting the build?
This is a really cool thread, I may have to build one of these monsters for an e30...
I have all the stuff I need.
Thanks man!

A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a child.

Shoehorned? An M54 is no larger than the M50/M52 engines that came in the E36.
An M73 in an E36 would have to be shoehorned in, but even that is not impossible.

what would a S50B30 clone in good condition produce in HP and Torque ?

Well a simple answer would have been nice, I could have said will it produce 1/3 as much as a LS1 or double that of a Chevy Vega GT Engine

So the lean issue was never solved?
That would be a huge HP gain if my little S52 ever goes south
