Nissan RB vs BMW M52B

What BMW has Terry Taylor got in his 240Z? I know he supercharged it in the end.
Mercedes, Lexus.
There was a time you could buy one with a car attached to it for that money. What it would have been to have a crystal ball!

The m52tub28 engine is great, I'd even say it's the best engine by bmw when it comes to said compromise between reliability and performance. Very easy and cheap to maintain, with some mods it'll output 210hp (running one in my Z3).
Adapting the gearbox will be challenging I guess. The shifter linkage might need to be modified if it doesn't fit by accident.

Its an S54B32 I think.

correct.
you've got to be careful in the choice if you want a nice feeling engine. s50 range would be ideal. On carbs if you're brave/cool enough!

Yes, as previously discussed togetehr (thanks) they're great engines BUT....:correct.

a) not if you don't want 300bhp
b) they're currently selling for 16x the price of a 170bhp M52B25 :

In an S30 destined to weight 980kgs, 170bhp with a low-ratio diff will be plenty fun methinks.

Does anyone know or have a link to that header ?
I couldn't find any NA headers for an RB when I was looking
