E30 325i, E34 525 (M20) 272 degree Schrick Camshaft
(more info) The 272-degree Schrick Camshaft is 1 step up from the stock cam. The greater lift and duration will boost horsepower at higher rpm where the stock engine may feel a little flat. This is considered a mild, "street" camshaft so low-end torque does not suffer a lot with this cam. Schrick recommends using upgraded valve springs with this cam.
E30 325i, E34 525 (M20) 284 degree Schrick Camshaft
(more info) E30 325i, E34 525 (M20) 284 degree Schrick Camshaft. This is Step 2 in Schrick's line of performance cams. The 284 degree cam will be great for owners who want to retain their driveability on the street and only need a modest boost in top-end RPM. Schrick recommends replacing the valve springs with high-performance springs for this application.
E30 325i, E34 525 (M20) 288 degree Schrick Camshaft
(more info) E30 325i, E34 525 (M20) 288 degree Schrick Camshaft. This is Step 3 in Schrick's line of performance cams and the best balance of power and driveability. Expect a big boost of power at the top end but a slight loss in low-end torque. Schrick recommends replacing the valve springs with their own for this application.
E30 325i, E34 525 (M20) 304 degree Schrick Camshaft
(more info) Schrick's most aggressive cam for the M20 engine. The 304-degree will make big power at the top but there will be a loss of low-end torque so this cam is only recommended for cars that see most of their time above 4000 rpm. Schrick High Performance valve springs are strongly recommended. This cam has a 12.2mm lift and will not clear stock M20 pistons.
E34 M5 Schrick Cam Shaft Set - 280 Degree Intake/Exhaust
(more info) German-made Original Schrick performance camshaft set for the S38 engine in the E34 M5 -- can be used in both the US 3.6 liter and Euro 3.6/3.8 liter versions. This camshaft set has a bit more duration and higher lift than the stock cam for improved top-end performance. Both intake and exhaust cams are the same. Available separately for $950 each, please call at 1-800-280-6966.
Schrick Solid Lifter Conversion Kit (convert hydraulic lifters to solid lifters)
(more info) One major hurdle for a track-only car is the limitation of the hydraulic valve lifters in the M50, S50-US, M52, S52-US, M52TU, and M54 engines. These effectively limit your revs to 7200-7300 RPM as the valves 'float' at higher revs, leading to piston-valve contact. By converting to a machined solid lifter, and upgrading other areas of the engine, you can configure the valve train to withstand high RPM running. Not only can you tune for more power, you can help prevent damage during a mild mechanical over-rev.
This kit includes the mechanical spacers to convert hydraulic lifter tappets to solid lifters (like that of the S54 engine). The lifter bucket remains in place with the Schrick solid tappet replacing the original. These work on all M50, M52, S50, S52 and M54 engines and were proven in normally aspirated as well as supercharged engines. A custom camshaft is required.
Professional installation and setup is mandatory as these require complete assembly of the head, checking valve lash, then dis-assembly and machining of the Schrick tappet to spec. This kit includes enough spacers for 24 valves. We also carry individual parts, if you are looking for single pieces. This price is for a full set of 24.
Schrick Valve Spring Set - E30 325i M20 engine
(more info) This Schrick valve spring set includes both the inner and outer valve springs for BMW's with the M20 6 cylinder engine. Designed for use with 272-284-288 degree camshafts. It is important to use Schrick Valve springs when installing camshafts with higher lift.
This item fits the following BMWs:
1987-1991 E30 BMW 325i 325ic 325is 325ix
