can't wait for this! it's something i always wanted to do with my old 325i but never got to it. considering doing it to my 328 now, but not sure if that whole work is worth it, for the extra 200cc.
@@ManSeeksCivic I know it's quite a bump in power in the 325, especially since that engine is not very torquey, and I think you'll actually feel the difference in the 328 as well, considering you're also using those cams. Really looking forward to this, IMO - the stroker, cams, M50B25 intake manifold and remap should see you around 230 bhp, at least. Maybe 240 even, that would be sweet. No pressure, lol. Not trying to raise the bar, just guessing.
I believe 200cc makes very small difference in peak power. Increase in displacement should bring torque curve to lower rpm, thus making it better for street use. Increase in stroke also increases the compression ratio which makes it really worthwhile. Cams make noticeable improvement through entire rev range. I’m interested to see how much more power can you gain after a proper tune. Mine runs pretty good without any major tune.
Do you know you can use 330i intake cams and 325i non vanos exhaust cam as a cheap « m3us » cams ;) you just need to grind a little bit of the 330i cams and it fits right in here.
I’m having problems finding a master rebuild kit for my m50tu out of my 94 325is mtechnic. Do you suggest any websites? Fcpeuro? Not finding much else.
@@JuhaEerikki Sadly they don't like too many revs. This can be helped by a super damper but I've not got a spare £1k to allow me to rev past 7500. It's no 2J but it'll be a little nicer than before 👍
@@huseyinerdem6934 I'm not sure, your b20 has a 66mm stroke but I don't know the difference to the deck height from tdc and lift of the s50 cam. Someone will have tried it so I'd spend some time looking around the net. The only way to tell properly would be to put it together with clay on the piston crown and test for valve clearance. Good luck.
Sadly I've still not had it on a dyno. I moved to the North East of England just before our lock down and am seeking a decent shop to run it. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later. I believe it's around 240 now but won't know for sure until its been tested.
Merry Christmas from Finland! Please keep the videos coming! 🎅
Looking forward to this and the more detail the better as far as I’m concerned!
Thanks and I'll try to keep it honest, thorough and as clear as possible.
so looking forward to this one progressing!!!
Brilliant video....Great prep makes for a great result.....i've been looking forward to getting this video.....good luck mate...
Love the build I hope you went for catch can setup to keep blowby out of those ports
Great to hear you'll have a dyno result bro, good work as always
Thanks buddy, I'll hopefully manage to film it too so it'll be out there for the world to see 🌍
5 spoke 👌
nice one following you... cant wait to see the dyno results...

Honestly speaking its not really worth it, it's purely fun and a whole load of learning for me. If it works as I've read then I'll be a happy man.

7:10 a tight fisted scot? preposterous!
try to make a video how to assemble this motor......holla from greece keep the good work!!!!
I'm going to try my best👍
hello can you tell me m54b30 crankshaft and piston size data
can i use 84.5mm piston for m54b30 with 145mm robs for m52b20 ?
hey Pamo,does m54b30 internals clear vanos regarding piston valve clerance or you have remove vanos
I’m having problems finding a master rebuild kit for my m50tu out of my 94 325is mtechnic. Do you suggest any websites? Fcpeuro? Not finding much else.
Have you tried "AUTODOC"
What crank are you using pamo?
M54b30 from a 330ci e46.
@@ManSeeksCivic There might be some harmonics issue with the b30 crank if I remember correct?

@@ManSeeksCivic Thank you for your kind and informative reply as I'm considering stroking my m50b25tu
Sorry mate I'm not clued up. Why wouldn'r you just put the e46 engine in it?
Experience, enjoyment of building the engine, less wiring headaches, and as a learning process.
@@ManSeeksCivic well you definately seem to know your shit
ECU wise
would you run fine on stock? or a tune is necessary?
It would run, but not well. You need to tune the engine to allow the car to run without the adaptions working like mad.
who would u recomend for vanos units, thanks
DIY if possible, but it depends where you are. In the world.
@@ManSeeksCivic I'm in new Zealand. Happy to rebuild myself. Any kits you trust and recommend
hi pamo.what would you use for the enginee parts and how many horsepower do yu expect thank you
I don't understand "what would you use for the engine parts". I would like to see anywhere around 240 crank horse power 👍
What parts did you use in the engine?
@@huseyinerdem6934 m50b25nv block, m52b25 head, m54b30 crank rods and pistons, M54b30 intake cam, m50b25nv intake cam as exhaust.
I am using m52b20 I want to use s50 cam to this engine, do you think this is possible?

what pistons and piston rings did you use?
M54b30 pistons and stock goetze M54b30 rings.
@@ManSeeksCivic there are no problems ?
because the m54 block has steel sleeves and the m52 only aluminuim
Coated/treated aluminium, that's as hard, if not harder than the steel that's in my M50 block. The internals stay the same.
haha as promised!
hp ?????
