We were moving and building another shop when Mikes cancer hit, if you’re interested in us doing a swap for you shoot us an email at hangmanenterprises@gmail.com, we still offer the service
You guys have probably answered this a million times but do you know the weight difference between the n54 and an iron block ls? Nice score, car looks very decent.
We’ll know very soon. Going to weigh this car and see where it stands in relation to the record car, Mikes E90. That car for reference weighed in at 3650 with Mike in the drivers seat.
The N54 platform is a pretty good engine it just get a bad rap cause people don't maintain it like it should or have a bad tuner. The crank and rods are forged and handle a lot. Maintenance is key for these engine. Like a high maintenance women. :) If your full bolt on and running the high side of a ots tune (engine and turbos are healthy) you should be around 370whp on stock turbos. Custom tune you can be close to 450whp and e50mix around or over 500whp. Upgraded twins or going single turbo you can be in the upper 600 to 700whp easy. I have a 135 and it is fun car. I don't think it feels like a honda. LOL i owned Hondas in the past no comparison. Though a V8 in a 135i or 128i sounds like fun.
@@lse90garage Yeah I know you were referring to the 128i. The white one right? You talking about power wise? Can't wait for the content to come out on the 128i btw.
“The Change Engine light came on”. I see what you did there...
Known problem with the n54 is the wastegates wear out a start rattling and can lead to boost leak. I had the same problem with mine
at 158k miles
Are you guys still doing swaps? It says the shop permanently closed

I believe my lq4 t56 combo was about 50-75 lbs heavier than the N54 + 6 speed
@@bhoochoo You sure? I thought the iron block was more around 150-200lbs more. The aluminum block was probably around 50-75lbs.
@@lse90garage The E92 will have a little less weight than the E90. I don't think its much though.
@@joyroc885 I think a lot of the weight is from the manual N54 trans, that thing was HEAVY compared to the t56
Was this car ever dynoed?
Mike sold it but the new owner did Dyno it, made right around 350 wheel
Did you pick this car up in AZ?
San Antonio, Texas
@@lse90garage i was looking at one very similar with the same filters. Im hoping you swap it. Love the work you guys do.

The 1 I'm talking about was 128

@@joyroc885 yea, power and handling wise, just like a little go cart you can go wot everywhere and not spin the tires.
