[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 85375, member: 1026"] Thw S14 engine is certainly an engineering mavel. I have great respect for it yet I am scared stiff about its maintenance costs. I have held off 3 occasions of purchaing the E30M3 becuase of this scare. {Still there!} If someone offered me an E30M3 with the S50B30 then, I would surely buy it, no question. That US enthusiast Gustav had a flowbench report I downloaded last year. It had similar numbers on the Honda S2000 which actually tried to copy it and made a better flow since the S2000 engine redlines at 8500 rpm. Compared to S14 which, I think is around 7500 rpm ???. Not that sure but certainly no way up to 8500!. The linearity of HP and torque on the S14 is characteristic of its racing heritage at that era. I remember Roberto Rivaglia driving the car when I was in New Zealand in the "80s. I had a cap personally signed by Steve Soper, the driver of the Ford Sierra Cosworth. Man, that thing flies...
