Hi Naslip, I moved to Japan three years or so ago, and my e36’s have been in storage since then in the U.K. I’m hopping to ship them out here in Winter/Spring after I’ve had a garage/workshop built. 🤞🏼

Do you have Instagram?

get yourself a life

I didn’t sell Alex. I moved to Japan 18 months or so ago, and wasn’t sure if I could keep the car or not, so she’s still in storage back in the U.K. I don’t know if the car will be able to pass it’s first inspection to get road legal in Japan or not. So I’ve been debating what to do. She’s in storage alongside my e36 Evo saloon. The saloon I’m sure I can ship to Japan and get ‘road legal’. The initial inspection here is really strict though.

@@mikeymike6017 oh I see, I get it well I would trailer it to Romania and register it here as a LHD let me know if you want to sell it, I can email you my contact details.

Hi Joshua, should be in the region of 360~370BHP I think.

@@mikeymike6017 says who? You need a lot to do to get 370 from a S50B32.... So you put 8-9k in that engine but you did not make a dyno run to SEE your results???????

@@buyankaratren9822 I understand your point of view, but the biggest power gains with one of these, is with a big airbox. I said '360-370', with the 360 figure being quite easy to hit. The rest is all incremental gains. The power expectations I have, are quite reasonable. And as yet, the car remains 'un-dynoed', as two years ago I moved to Japan, and my two e36 Evo's are still in storage in the UK until shipping costs become effective for me to ship them out here.

@@mikeymike6017 nah it's not easy to hit 360. With this statment you're showing that you unterstand nothing about the S50B32. This engine is very difficult to build up. 80 % of the engines doesn't even hit their 321 BHP from factory. All of them are about 300 to 310 BHP. If you wanna hit 350 or 360 you need cams, exhaust, airbox, Alpha/N mapping. And the engine must be 100%. Then in the end it's about a good mapping job. All done perfectly then you have at max 360. 370 is a dream. Please don't go in the internet pretending you are the man with the S50B32 engines.

@@mikeymike6017 and no excuse for not having a dyno run. This is the FIRST thing you do after a job like this. Telling the internet you moved to Japan.... who wanna know?????. The people wanna see the result after the job. Have time for trolling the people with a video but no time for dyno run. Must be a joke?! AND NEXT TIME. DELETE THE VANOS in a Race Engine.

Im building one right now!

I would like to know as well

Hello freind, in my experience all face to face fit which requires sealant with no gasket should have the anaerobic sealant. Used on honda k series engines and works very well!

The engine was out of one of the North American ALMS ‘PTG’ (Prototype Technology Group) e46 GTR’s. I believe BMW and PTG built 6 of them back in the day, and they were run with P50B32’s (BMW Motorsport version of S50B32). Some of the cars later got the engines changed for V8’s which caused an outrage from Porsche, as they claimed it was breaking the rules. Anyway, one of the cars came to the U.K. and was run in the Britcar 24hr by Strakka Racing. This engine was built Duller Motorsport (BMW Motorsport Austria) for that car.

@@mikeymike6017 thank you. Ich habe von dem V8 gewusst aber ich wusste nicht das es auch einen p50b32 gab. Weisst du wie sich der s und p unterscheiden? Welchen öldruck fährt der Motor?

KXF MX hahaha... thank you! Many people think I’m crazy, but I actually believe the S50B32 has some good points! Whilst an S54 will in theory make more power in standard mechanical form, I believe the valve train to be more intricate and susceptible to wear compared to S50. I also feel that the S50 rod bearings being 2mm wider, will wear less, and also that the S50 doesn’t suffer head gasket failure. Just my ‘thoughts’ though.

carfreaks1024 the pistons are 86.75mm. I actually wanted to use 86.5, but they sent 86.75. The head gasket is standard BMW one. I think for 86.75, it’s plenty good enough. Perhaps with 87mm, a different gasket is needed, or with forced induction.

@@mikeymike6017 im currently waiting on some 87mm pistons for my s50b32 build. How much did you remove from your head and block when resurfacing? What brand bearings did you go with?

Daniel_DK_2_Motorsport thanks for the compliment. The engine is been carefully run-in, done about 800 miles, but not yet mapped. The car, and also a saloon I have are sitting in storage at the mo. I’m in Japan, so can’t do anything with them. Hopefully in the next few months I’ll ship the cars out here to Japan if all goes to plan...

Hello, it is indeed. The VAC stroker is my next project actually. I’ve got all the parts do do a new build, and all the machine shop work has been completed. Just need to ship it out to Japan and start building it up. Might put another NG Motorsports head on those instead of the VAC one, as I had another head freshly done by them.

To be honest, the build cost is pretty prohibitive and a lot of it not necessary. But, it’s pretty much cost as much as a brand new M3 😳

Hi, I did the build myself Dan.

Mikey Mike great work, do you have you own garage? Who did the head work, reason for all the questions is I’m looking for someone to build me S54 I have in my E36.

Dan, head work was done by NG Motorsports in Germany. They do amazing work, though there’s quite a long wait. I really enjoy doing engine builds, but I’m now in Japan, and shipping everything out here, including a few S50B32’s to do builds with on rainy days. In England I made a dust-free room for doing engine builds, something I’ll do again out here.

Mikey Mike can you send me a R33 GTR from Japan please as when I’m finish building the E36 I’ll sadly be selling it and buying a R33/R34 to us as having a young family I can’t see myself driven the track car that often unfortunately. Check out my build on Instagram if you like f80m3_e36s54

Actually, I converted it back to wet sump (the dry sump setup was just too hardcore, and a pain in the ass), and put the conventional power steering pump setup on there too.

The last time this can was on the dyno was with the P50B32 GTR engine. I've not dyno'd the new engine yet. I hope to next time I'm in the UK though.

no , its straight 6

It's a Karbonius Composites one, I purchased from MS Motorsports (raceparts.biz) here in the UK.

@@mikeymike6017 whats the fucking dyno numbers god damn. I bet you havnt even dynoed it. You reply to every other question except for snything talking about the hp figures.

@@followthegrow108 Hahaha... No I haven't! I'm in Japan, the car is in stoarage in Wales (UK). I'm planning to ship the car here later in the year, along with my e36 Evo loon. I would expect the engine to make anywhere between 375~395 ish though.

@@mikeymike6017 did you dyno the car in the meantime?

ICU Motors hello... 109,000 on the car, about 800 on the engine.

Stashing it away would be a great investment

Suk Jinda hello... it’s an S50B32, but hasn’t been mapped yet. Power should hopefully be up around 390 with a little luck.

mr323i I think most parts are still available. The head has a few subtle differences to a standard head, but I think the block is same as standard. I’ve kept this engine as a ‘rainy day’ project. Might be a year or two before I rebuild it, but I will do it....
