30psi is high unless a lot of internal work has been done. The other question is, can he back the 1000bhp cliam up. If he can, then it's worth the money all day winkeye

Hmmmm, how big do we reckon the pipe which runs to the turbo from the manifold is?

Only looks like about 2.5" or so to me!

Could ya really get 1000bhp down that?

Yeah think I read something about it in PBMW or something?

They signed the guestbook on www.gt6.org.uk aaaaages ago asking a bit tongue in cheek if I wanted 700bhp :lol:

if they get 700bhp its still worth it, look at the parts involved, its a work of art!!

$32,000 is under 20 grand, spend £5,000 on a donor car with high miles, build the engine then spend another £5,000 on big brakes suspensin and a few other bits which will need replacing and you have one hell off a tool.

£30,000 to demolish a ferrari or a lambo is worth it, oh and you can do it to a touring if you want aswell, go shopping in it, take the kids to school etc or just be a hooligan.

buy the time i finish building my M3 i will have hit the £30 grand mark, but wont be as quick at that fucker. any one got a time machine i can borrow!

I read an interesting article on this on te E36 forum. Apparently a couple of their cars were tested and they both made less than 500bhp. This included the claimed 1000bhp car so save your money. By the time my enguine is done, i will hit 600bhp+ and i can back mine up too winkeye

I would much rather have someone like PPF build a car for this money then them. look at limmets s50 compared to this kit and i doubt it even cost him as much

mmmm 1000hp? turbo lag in 5th gear would be embarasing, or perhaps down changeing to 1st to get the thing spinning

not really useable imo but whatever

300bhp is plenty 'nuff for some fun

log manifols aint that bad, kilander brothers ran 700 bhp on an m30 turbo and a basic log manifold

the one a have is from a B7 turbo and will flow well enough for 500bhp

There is NO way that car is making anywhere near 700hp, let alone 1000hp.

i've seen the video's aswell, they are not the best but it does seem as though the driver is shifting early

it looks well over 500hp to me

Well designed log manifold is great, but I think he means the way the pipe comes off it and goes under the engine and mounts turbo on wrong side, i dont like that atall. This is how a turbo S50 should be done http://www.limmet.se/
