Shamlessly stolen from elsewhere!

Reposted too.

Here is the previous thread.

Ooops - didn't see that.

Thanks for reposting

Would never have seen this otherwise

Woah, didn't realise it was getting an M V8. That is going to be ridiculously quick. :eek:

Edit: 1 turbo per bank too, wtf?!!!!!

Not exactly usable on the road though is it?

A few years ago, I saw a very nice E30 touring which had been given an E34 M5 engine. The chaps in question had also completely overhauled the interior, looked seriously yummy.

Sniff. I miss my E30. Still stood in England and currently SORN'd

What kind of BHP would it push ?

Thomas. PLease. · 25 Oct 2008 at 22:40

isnt this gonna have some serious weight issues, ie its gonna be a bit heavy up front or is it purely a drag strip monster.

The maiden voyage will likely result in death anyway, so why bother?

To much power IMO, I would rather have a perfect stock M3 Evo.

Stock, that engine would be pushing 400bhp. But they've added two turbos, so 600? Pretty crazy considering the full fat e30 M3 only got 200odd.

The blowers look like GT35 or even 40 size so I'd be surprised if it was sub 750-800 bhp once finished, bearing in mind that 1 of those turbo's will do 650+ on a 2 litre 4 pot, and in essence this is 2x 2litre 4 pots.

As the thread suggest, wheels are too big, but otherwise looks good, albeit a bit mad

.. So it's going to be absolutely mental!!

Would sir like some wing to go with his wheelarch?

ganesh · 26 Oct 2008 at 09:02

Those wheels are way too big.

I kinda agree with that, many good cars are good as a whole package and even if they have little power it can be well suited to the car.

It does look soooo nich though, with a standard engine with a nce exhaust it would be perfect!
