  • A race car is only as good as its chasis. With an e46 coming up onto 20 years old its time for some new sway bars and bushings.

    Great video. I think this will be the next upgrade to my e46. I have done almost every other suspension upgrade (pss10s, monoball fcab monoball rtab , lsd, diff bushings, control arms,) but am still on factory 330ci sway bars. This gave me exactly the information I was looking for.

    • @TenzaMotorsports
      @TenzaMotorsports  Před 3 lety +1

      I don't regret it all! I would absolutely do this upgrade again.

    thanks for this details review man, ive been considering multiple different options for sway bars for my 330. i currently do not have a sway bar in my rear and the front bushings are fairly worn. i am goin to order this kit and ill he uploading my detailed review and installation. I also really understand when you said you felt like the car was missing something before hand because thats exactly how i feel at the moment.

      I hope this set up serves you just as well as it has done to me! I've been noting but happy with this kit. BTW I had to update the sway bar link in the description. Make sure to check that out!

    So is there a difference in the E46 M3 sway bar size vs a 330ci sway bar? Or are they the same? Asking because of budget builds.

    • @TenzaMotorsports
      @TenzaMotorsports  Před 3 měsíci +1

      M3 does have a larger one than a stock 330. But they aren't as big as these Hotchkis ones. And If I remember right the 330 has larger than the lower model 323 325 328

    Do you have any of the torque specs for the sway bars or is it not that big of a deal? Also would you recommend getting the adjustable hotchkis front sway bar links or is this not really necessary???

    Hi I have a question I’m stuck between rebuilding and turbocharging my m54b30 or swapping a s54 from the m3 what made you choose the m54 over the s54

    • @TenzaMotorsports
      @TenzaMotorsports  Před 5 lety +5

      So the reason I supercharged my engine is because I didn’t have the experience or skill to do much else. The supercharger was a plug and play. That’s was super appealing. If you swap to an s54 you’ll be spending 4-5k, and you would probably wanna rebuild it while it’s out. when you’re done you’ll be 330 hp. If you spend the same money on your m54 you. An easily be 450-500hp and a fresh rebuild

    • @jeffreysanders7938
      @jeffreysanders7938 Před 5 lety +1

      Tenza Motorsports but with the s54 being iron block wouldn’t tht be a plus especially for boost

    • @jeffreysanders7938
      @jeffreysanders7938 Před 5 lety +1

      An are m54 really good for tht much power?

    • @TenzaMotorsports
      @TenzaMotorsports  Před 5 lety +5

      Yea the s54 can do more power over all but it would cost more since you have to buy the engine. you already own the m54. and yes I've talked to multiple companies who say the m54 is good upwards of 550 hp before pistons and rods start to be in danger.

      @@jeffreysanders7938 the iron is tougher than iron rule doesn't apply in this case, the aluminum used is super high grade and comparable to iron.
