SMW S54 Race Engine - new ready for dyno

Engine was build by Chris, one of the VAC Motorsport mechanics for his personal use.

We imported it for use in a new E46 race build but have decided to go to an S65 for that race car.

Build is as follows

11.5:1 CP Pistons (actual compression is approx. 11.7:1 after head & block machining)

Pistons are coated with a tough skirt coating and ceramic dome coating.

SP Components forged h-beam rods with ARP bolts

ARP head & main studs

VAC Motorsports coated rod & main bearings

VAC High volume oil pump with upgraded shaft & sprocket

-VAC Stage 3 Ported & Polished head ($US 4,000)

• all new gaskets and O-rings

-Vanos Puck modification. All s54's benefit from it with tighter tolerances

• Vanos is rebuilt to its fullest extent with Biesan Vanos seals and anti-rattle kit.

-Cam and Vanos bolts upgraded

-new breather parts and related hoses/ pipes

• all new timing chain ramps
• new oil pump chain
• new idle pulley

Also have available at extra cost

VAC under drive pulleys and belt (frees up to another 11 HP)

Karbonius CSL replica air box. A great HP and sound upgrade.

Schrick Cams (you would need top buy the correct followers)

With a set of matched headers this combo was built for a 390BHP beast with a 9,000 RPM redline on standard mapped ecu. Capable of more with aftermarket and cams and followers.

Designed for sprint and endurance events. Ideal E36 conversion engine or targa beast.

Advertised elsewhere. Am also selling a full S50B32 engine/headers/airbox/computer/loom.

Which ever one sells first, the other one is going into my E36 M3 race car
