    It's time for our first ever non-Japanese engine on Iconic engines, and we are starting with something pretty special, the engine that is likely BMW's best ever 4 cylinder. The legendary S14 four cylinder engine that powered the BMW E30 M3.
    The BMW S14 engine is actually a Frankenstein engine, this being the case not because BMW was cutting costs, but because one of the greatest engine designers of all time, Mr. Paul Rosche had already designed so many great engines for BMW that there was no reason to work from scratch. The goal of the S14 was to turn the BMW E30 into a DTM champion. Initial plants to shove a straight six into an E30 M3 were abandoned in favor of a lighter four cylinder that could rev higher. A lighter engine meant lower weight and better weight distribution and balance which can be a lot more important than outright power in racing and motor sport.
    So the BMW s14 engine got an M10 engine block, an M88 cylinder head (with two combustion chambers amputated) and some sexy ITBs. The S14 and BMW e30 M3 combo were so good that the BMW e30 m3 became the most successful touring car of all time. When it comes to touring car championships and Group A racing the BMW e30 m3 won pretty much everything.
    When it comes to the specs the S14 engine has 93.4 mm of bore and 84 mm of stroke. This gives us an over-square engine design which makes sense because the BMW S14 was designed to spend most of it's time in the high rev range. However, the basic 2.3 liter version, S14B23 wasn't the only available displacement for the S14. Italian and Portuguese markets got a 2.0 liter version which was created by reducing the stroke, while Europe got the 2.5 liter EVO 3 engine at the end of the BMW e30 m3 production run. On top of the cast iron M10 engine block we can find a aluminum alloy cylinder head with dual over head camshafts (DOHC) and a bucket and shim on top of a bucket pushing onto the valves. The camshafts are chain driven and the chain is a good dual row design which doesn't cause any issues. The same can't be said about the S14 chain tensioners, BMW used several different versions and some caused problems with chain stretch and wear. This is why many S14 owners choose to upgrade to the S50 or S52 chain tensioner. The camshafts have 240 degrees of duration and a very impressive 10 mm of lift on both the intake and the exhaust. The power output of the BMW s14 ranged from 189 hp to 235hp for the EVO 3 engine. The US market received only the 192 2.3 liter S14 engine which made 192 hp and had a catalytic converter.
    When it comes to tuning the bmw s14 engine really is a racing engine adapted to use in normal traffic. As such it's incredibly fun to drive hard even if you don't tune it. You have to understand that this engine needs to be driven hard to be enjoyed, it makes all of it's performance in the top 1000 - 2000 rpms, so if you think it's slow or doesn't have any torque you really are missing the point. How to get more power? For mild tuning you won't be touching the intake or the exhaust manifold because you really won't gain anything there. Some mild camshafts will can get some gains, most will be gained by replacing the stock Bosch motronic ecu with a modern standalone ecu, if you know what you're doing with the fuel and ignition maps you can get some horses and also an aftermarket ecu will allow you to get rid of the stock flap style air flow meter which hampers performance. What about big NA power on the S14? Sure, just do what BMW did in the DTM. This will make you broke but you will have a road illegal engine that's massive fun. Wild cams, throttle slides instead of plates, crazy 4 into 1 headers, porting the intakes, increased displacement, increased compression, dry sump, and you can expect 350 hp. What about a turbo s14? Sure it can be done but be ready that the car will loose massive value. An alternative is to swap something into your e30 m3, get big power out of your system, conserve the s14 and then swap it back when you get bored of the s50 or whatever else you swapped in there. Supercharged S14? Yeah you can do that too, but good luck finding the parts.
    Rap translation:
    I have an awesome cylinder head
    What are you waiting for, press the start button
    I'm the fastest engine on the Hockenheim
    I'm so fast there
    Nobody can overtake me
    My name is the BMW S14
    and I'm the greatest engine you will ever see.
    It all rhymes in German....I swear.

    Quick anecdote from an engine book I've got. From an interview of a BMW F1 race team engine builder, they would go out to wrecking yards to find old clapped out sedans with the highest mileage they could find and pull the M10 blocks for cores. The thinking was that these engines with tons and tons of hours on the clock would have all the casting stresses out of them and would hold up to grenade-spec boost the best.
    Seeing as these cars were laying down 900 to 1500 horsepower with factory stock iron blocks and NOT blowing up they might have been on to something.

    Very sad we didn't get this M3 in South Africa. We had to create our own homologation special, the 325is, with the Alpina 2.7 M20 engine. This was to compete against the South Africa only Opel Kadett Superboss with the Delta modified C20XE, stock with Getrag LSD gearbox amongst other thing.
    Also interesting is that South Africa also made a 333i with the M30 engine also helped build by Alpina. We also made the Opel Kadett 200ts with a C20LET and 6 sped LSD Getrag which debuted with 160kw (215hp) in 1994.

    To be fair the BMW M1 was the first M car that started this lineage. Though arguably the 3.0 CSL was the first M car, despite not having an m badge. Then the M535i, the M 635 CSI, the M5, and then finally the e30 m3. Though iirc there was a updated m535i somewhere in there. Interesting also to see how much they experimented with M placement and the spacing before and after the numbers and letters

    Having driven a tuned s14 (I admit I didn't go over 7000rpm, I am to afraid of breaking something), I wouldn't want to own one. The car is amazing, but there is no point in having one if you don't rev it to moon, which with an engine worth 3 years of rent I wouldn't want to do to often. On top of that, the s14 is 3 times as much as an s54, imagine how much more fun you would have with an s54, knowing you have 2 more ready to drop in when you throw a rod!

    You can remove the flap MAF with a heated wire MAF. There is a product called a "MAF translator" which interprets data from a new heated wire sensor, then sends data to the ECU that is exactly like the flap MAF. Some call the OEM sensor a "VAF." It is good for a few horsepower by itself. I think some people mod their Datsun 280ZXT to accept a 300ZXT heated wire MAF for example.
    23:14 There is another way. Have you heard of offset grinding? By grinding the crank throws off center and then welding them up, you can lengthen the stroke by a few millimeters.
    29:00 Plus, with 10:5:1 or more of compression, you couldn't run much boost anyway. It would probably be required to buy lower compression pistons.

We still occasionally see E30 M3 track cars come through the shop with built 2.5 liter Evo engines and aftermarket engine management (to eliminate that horrible airflow meter from the stock setup) and they easily produce 275+ whp using race gas on the chassis dyno.

The guy who had mine had it rebuilt at 65,000 miles and receipts showing more than $20,000. Doing the 2.3 the 2.5 is not recommended and it takes someone who really knows what they are doing to do it right.

    I’ve worked on a few and driven several. I used to work as a mechanic at my uncles shop in Los Angeles. Never beat up the car just test drove after repairs were maid. I ended up purchasing 90 BMW 325 because of it. Completely rebuild the whole thing, sold it for cheap to a youth pastor that really wanted it. He then loaned it to a member from church and crash it 🤦🏻‍♂️. I wish I never sold it.

    Hi, love your videos, I have owned one of these cars many years ago, I would love it if you did the Nissan vg30t engine single cam ... I had one of these in the late 80s it was in a z31 and was a factory turbo Nissan fairlady ... in the late 80s we modified it and was proving 450ho at the wheels and was for a long time one of the fastest street cars in New Zealand.

    best 4 cylinder european made .....hm ....bold claim .
    i would say the opel/Vauxhal/GM c20xe is very close , reliable , powerful , cheap , not thirsty at all..also coming from a formula 3 background .
    the s14 was always some kind of an " exclusive " club , parts where always rare ( compared to others ) and expensive .
    best overall engine in the 2 liter range +/- a few cc would be in my opinion the b and k series from honda ....
    worst would be rover k , and to be honest .....VW made products ...;-)
    i personally like the f7r engines from renault as well ....
    cheap , reliable , no fance schmuck like MAF and still not thirsty , very torquey due to long strokes of 93 mm and still like to rev ... a bit " high " if you want to swap it and gearboxes are not the best
    tuning parts are a bit more rare but pretty good stock eingines in the 2l 150 hp range .

    Individual throttle bodies increase throttle response. I thought long runners increase low end torque. This engine has very short runners so throttle response should suck.

    I don't know what the gearing is like on the E30 M3, but on the E46, its appalling.
    If you want to feel it male 340hp, you have to do it in 1st gear. 2nd will be doing over 70mph when it gets to 8k rpm and 340hp and by the time you're in 3rd, you're doing prison speed if you're putting the full 340hp out.
    Most say the single best mod is changing the final drive ratio in the diff, not adding more power where you can't use it.

  • @ReasonX3

    So true about people being disappointed by their dream car because they don't understand it and can't drive it properly. S85 has similar problem. I saw so much hate for it: it is bad at lows, it is overcomplicated, it is hard to maintain, BMW could go with supercharger or turbo to get same power or even more, etc. All that just shows that people don't make their homework and simply not ready to own cars like E60 M5 & E63 M6, yet they claim that BMW is a bad car manufacture after that and their Corolla is much better... Really sad story.
