I have a ZF 5HP30 that just came out of my 540 for sale. I just bought it from LKirt Koeller at Autosport Unlimited last spring. It has 10k at most miles on it.

I paid $2345 for it. I am asking $1600 + shipping. Thats a whole lot cheaper than anything else you are considerinng. I can have it to you by next week if you are interested. It is sitting on a pallet at Koala Motorsports in Ohio. I took it out to do my Manual conversion. Email if you are interested. - JT

I have the hp18. Does the hp30 mate to the 3.0 pig?

I have the hp18. Does the hp30 mate to the 3.0 pig? For $1600 I could do the valve body exchange the guibo and the tranny mounts...maybe some 02 sensors to ready for my first smog check in may in austin.

Buy a euro 3.8 M5. Had a "new" one in earlier this week, picked up by a long time customer -- black on gray, 6 speed, nurburgring brakes, rear shade, the works. It's a $25,000 car these days ($19 gees in this case). Deals all over the place, but you might have to give it a year at this point in the "season".


The Sayther conversion is nice and cheap if you do it yourself. Scott's got me looking for a touring now, whether he knew it or not.

like this one?

I was thinking the S52 would be cheaper and lighter.

I'm leaning toward the wife's 535 as donor today.

I know, my friend who did his Franken C said I could get 300 horses out a 3.5 and it would every bit as good as an S52 without the maintenance.

I wouldn't bother doing this if you're planning on going naturally aspirated... it would cost GOBs of money to get 300hp NA.

But I'll tell you one thing, the M30 sure does love boost
