changing engines

[tylerma]

want opinions guys
it will be going into a 318i cab

[m-dtech]

im having a similar problem...

although im weighing up a cosworth conversion

[Karan]

m50..... obviously

but iS would be easier and give u that extra little bit of ppoke ure after

[dazleeds]

is would def be easiest but youll just be wanting more a week later especially with the extra weight of the cab so deff m50 or more

[craigieeb]

the m50 has my vote any day of the week!

[Dan318-is]

even tho i have an IS

i haev to say m50 on rhis one if u got time money etc

IS still a good engine if looked after tho

[Simon13]

i'm starting to wiegh into the M50 idea Malco, not alot more work really, just need to find a few different bits thats all

like i said to u last nite those 24v sixes do sound nice!

[jmc330i]

Another vote for the M50 here.
Would be ideal with the Cab cause you can drive round with the top down listening to that sweet 6pot sound all day long.

Even though Ive gone the 24v route, I actually prefer the sound of the M20 - but Ive not heard mine running yet so that may change

[Jhonno]

m50 for sure

[glenn]

bigger the better

[tylerma]

bigger the better

i will leave the massive engines to you mate
you have done a fantastic job so far

this is true mate i must get reading and doing some research with regards to the m50

and the sound oh yes

luckily i was fortunate enough to go out in Will's beast before he got that girls car
and that sounded soooooo good even though it had a bit of a hybrid manifold

m50 for sure

would i be right in saying you are doing this conversion yourself mate
if so when are you at the Ace cafe next
might have to get on your ear and have a chat about it

this is one of the reasons i am swaying towards the m50 too

also thanks to everyone who has voted so far

[Jhonno]

i was goin to do it yes.. i got to the point of buying the engine having researched it all n then was offered an S50 instead so i've gone with that instead.. still a similar conversion but with some added complications

More than happy to have a chat to you bout it at Ace if you want

yeah that would be cool mate
will be good to talk with someone thats done the necessary research

[Jhonno]

S50 is the same conversion tbh but you have manifolds and plenums to worry about

[Bharat]

If you do run out of ideas, you can always have the M40 that I will have spare soon, and stick it in the boot - twin M40s.

[Mahmood]

Malcolm - M50 all the way...

Will call you tomorrow to see if you are going to a breakers yard this week.

See you at Ace on Monday.

[johnono]
