Csi? 380bhp or 300bhp?
But actually who cares, all the torque in the world coupled to a 6 speed manual box.
I think i can safetly say this is going to be my favourite thread for a while.

Oh my god! How forking cool is that?!
Just to be a nay-sayer though, why use 4 turbos when 2 will do?
Believe me it's a royal pain in the arse and a lot more trouble than it's worth using multiple turbos!
People think there'll be less lag, but that's not really the case as each turbo only gets half as much gas as one would.
Aah who am I kidding? Do iiiiiiiit!

Jesse and I are looking forward to helping you fit the quad t4 turbo's, and the other mods, just as long as you let me take it out for a cruise, i promise not to redline it all the way !!!
Maybe after this is done you will finish the green convertible.
now you really are 'avin a larf aren't you?
The engine's what, 5.6litres or something?
So that's 1.4litres of engine per turbo if you use four, and you wanna use T4s?!

It's an 5.0 E32 750 engine from the pictures.
The 5.6 850CSi engine has M-Tech cam covers, as it is in effect the M8.
As an interesting aside, I remember reading somewhere that all the V12's were built in the M factory...

Arf arf, even less capacity per turbo then!

Genius Glenn. Most people would have been happy with the S62.

Fair play Glenn ! go for it.
Are you going to have to modify the bulk head / transmission tunnel to fit the box in there ?
and where did you get the 850csi box?
Ive been looking for one for months now.....
Im looking at doing the same M70 conversion, but into the E24 635. (might be speaking to you soon
)
