Its a B28 mate.
Standard is 193BHP and 207 Lb/Ft. I have done a few simple mods so hoping for about 200bhp when its on the road to start with.
I am hoping no bore wear issues dude!

sounds great Andy you must be well pleased with that
it'll go very very well with just the m50 mani conversion, m52s don't need anything else to make very good power, don't know why everyone's asking what mods it has!

Cheers guys, its pretty standard at the moment, running on M50 ECU with M50 inlet manifold. Plans include just simple things now like a decent air intake and exhaust and see where it goes from there

ouch, i want one like that so much it hurts. How much should i be looking to buy a m52 for? is yours single or double vanos? what other mods are you doing (if any) to cope with the increase in power and torque? Congratulations mate!

Mine is single vanos, (M52) the M52TU was used later and was double vanos
As for chassis mods everything is going, I have already done the E36 rack conversion (almost!) Next will be the brakes and suspension
Need to find an LSD but not sure what yet
