'88 E30
-
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. B)
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
-
Picked it up Friday
-
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

Wow. A head.
I've never seen one before. Thanks for posting this. -

As much as I would enjoy continuing to stir this pot I'll add a touch of context to my comment.
Pent up temp gun aggression is real tho

I'm sure the shop did this but make you look over all of the valve retainers super good. From everything I have read s50's built prior to 10/95 have retainer problems. The only reason I know this is because when I blew my motor up there were a couple ready to give out and let the valve drop.

Assuming you replaced with 96+ retainers?
