    that's a good deal. someone has a used vortech SC kit over on r3v and is asking 4500

    if i came across a kit for that price, i think i would be forced to buy it too.

      Depends what it the kit has, I know of a stage 2 12 psi kit that is being sold for $4,500 thinking about getting it, swapping blowers & selling my old kit.

          15 - 20% is pretty average drivetrain loss estimate.  20% is leaning more towards AWD but not outside of the realm of reality.

                Not at all, that RMS kit is good, I just don't like the VF kit. 

                Nice build BTW, KR

                        Just seeing all the updates now, sweet to see another boosted s50 especially in another e30. We'll have to run supercharged s50 against turbo s50. 😎😎

                          Straight line you'll destroy it. It would be interesting to see auto x times though!

                            Maybe ill have to come to an auto x event sometime this year, on the downside to that is the car is built to do the exact opposite of auto x and i would probably end up getting kicked out.

                              I avoid drift events for the same reason

                                Finally had some free time and dropped the head off today. He pulled vacuum on it while I was there. Intake and exhaust valves he said looked really good. So there's hope. Will be picking it up sometime next week

                                    Its interesting the changes they made in the oil and coolant passages between the M20 and M5X/S5X cylinder heads.

                                    The number of oil feed passages is reduced, the size of the coolant passages is reduced (this doesnt mean less cooling, just look at the pinhole they put in a stock head gasket to meter the coolant flow) and all of the passages locate near a head bolt to maintain sealing when the head lifts ever so slightly. The oil returns also have more real estate around them (inherently from the head being much wider) which allows the gasket to be designed for reduced chance of external oil leaks.

                                    What im trying to say is, get it back together soon so we can break s'more axles
