Dyno results for my M52B30

[DanThe]

Built this September time last year as I had a load of bits id amassed, started off as a cooked 330i lump which was relieved of its crank gear and rebuilt into a low milage 99 stamped steel liner M52 block.

Ready to go together -

Nice power Good to see Jef lives on

[DanThe]

Couldnt let the dvla hold him to ransom

[leeparkes]

Is that 239ftlb?

Nice

[Andy325i]

I looked quickly and thought you had used Him as a test bed

[Alex]

sounds nice

[Kos]

with cams it'll be better

very impressive , i take it that you have the m50 inlet on this with stock TB? has it been mapped yet ?

[billgatese30]

torque curve look impressive, especially compared to the S50 one which peaks rapidly (a little bit like yours climbs) and drops off, yours climbs and then raises slowly to a higher peak.

[Bob_S]

this is why the toyo's were useless and it was rapid then

[Cook318IS]

Nice amount of torque that! What is the spec of the engine? i understand that its a b30 bottom end but is anything custom? I'd love to build one of these!

Certainly more power is availble with a bit of a remap and other trinkets!

i remember the old days when my old touring was as slow as that. never mind im sure itll get better if you stick with it.

[Morat]

Fuzzy, isn't it about time you built a new car?

[fuzzy]

i cant be bothered. at fast approaching 40 im thinking about off the shelf fast e39 m5 or mitsu evo etc.

It will get better fuzzy, apart from a compression hike its pretty much standard ATM.
Will an M5 fit in at Mc Donalds? One of those winged jap things would suit you better IMO

It is a standard M50 inlet/TB Kos
Had a bit of fannying about with pistons but it all went together pretty straight forward TBH

Dan, you need to do a build wiki for this. I've been saying for the last year (due to my 530i sport) that the 3.0l crank is the way to go. The m54b30 is a f*cking awesome lump.

[Dezzy]

Looking good matey.

You built 3.0lt the easy way though.

whats the point of making things hard.

[town325i]

whats the bhp? i cant work it out i am really thick.

[DanThe]

Your right Dez, if id have put some more money and effort in it could have been closer to 3200cc

But, I did want to use an ally block this time, and it was built with track car in mind

Its a cool motor mate. You know what's gone into mine and to be honest if I were to do it again I would probs just fit oversize 84mm rings clean the bores up and have a high spec 2.8.
Standard displacement is for gays though

[Wilson325i]

as said befor, thats great torque dan .

[Rav335uk]

Is that 239ftlb?

Nice

Is that it for the torque????
Lots of work Dan for similar figures to the Boat anchor

[stonesie]

That sounds good, I bet its good fun out on the road, 316 badge??

It's actually useless unless it is bone dry! It is bloody quick though 150+ with ease

From 500cc less.. With more power as well

Hardly a lot of work either, no extra to refreshing your tired smoking old boat anchor

It probably weighs half of what your skip does

[Blitz]

Sounds meaty. Great Torque.

24V incorrectness, and all you lot ganging up on me again

[Jhonno]

You bring it on yourself to be fair..

[DanThe]

Rav, get a grip, this would leave you for dust mate

[Jhonno]

Rav, get a grip, this would leave you for dust mate

Mind you.. That isn't hard

[Rav335uk]

Guys, I know it would, but doesn't hurt to liven things up around here, even if the new trend is the M30 V M50/2, all in light hearted typing
So don't go getting on you high horses.

Trust everything i say is in gest

Trust everything i say is in gest

I do Mark, and others I have met, and those who have met me, but there are a few who don't know me.

[Jhonno]

All I will say is.. It is the internet
