they are two different engines. Block is different, the S52 has itb but two tbs are tied together. S54 has true ITB.
S52 Euro = 333bhp
S54 euro = 343bhp (333hp in the us).
So your uncle is misinformed. Also the euro swap is not as fast as the S/C that he did.
hrmm...well i remembered you could get a 333+ hp motor in the european E36's i didn't know they had different blocks. Either way the dinan SC kicks ass but he only road races it/daily drives it.
