picked up the two cars yesterday.
the m20b25 is coming out and going into another touring for someone else,,
and then i can start the V12 transplant,
just thought i'd take a couple of pics before i got my hands covered in sh1t.

[Toby_Unna]

yes giles,
i finished the v8 project but bent it at the track day,
but i've got hold of a m3 shell to put the v8 running gear into.
but i need this project out of the way before i can get the m3 shell here

[buster]

this is gonna be good,cant wait to see this happen.Loads of pics please glenn.

[Jon_Bmw]

which gearbox?

respect Glenn.

850 6speed

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.

[stonesie]

this is gonna be good

[jonbuoy]

Bloody hell Glen, nothing stand's in your way a mate
Good luck geese

[nav786]

you are a mad genius glenn

[pacerpete]

I used to own that 750 and have looked after it since the early 90s ! . I hope Dips has taken my blaupunkt berlin and amp out !
You are a hero Glenn !, i look forward to seeing the finished chariot.

took the head unit out but cant find the amp will have look when it comes back

[dips346]

my v12 touring project finally started cant wait as i want to try and quad turbo the thing

[Turbo-Brown]

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!

[Andy335Touring]

I think you will strugle for space with two turbos never mind four !!!

[dips346]

I think you will strugle for space with two turbos never mind four !!!

no if i get rid of the inner arches and space frame the front it will fit but this is for the furture maybe

lag has nothing to done with it,the main thing is QUAD TURBOS lol

Glenn, you're a mad man!

Top man though our Glenn, he's dropping the 2.5 into my touring for me

hi simon you having my 2.5 engine then? if so just sort it out with glenn mate
i might be selling my 525e block to richy as well when he is ready

[Dominitry]

Trying to think what to post, but im speachless, absolute legend!

[Turbo-Brown]

hey Dips,
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?!

[Pilsbury]

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...

[Turbo-Brown]

Arf arf, even less capacity per turbo then!

[CaesarBob]

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

[Beemer Redeemer]

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 )

[glenn]

all the parts

[Gouki]

[bigkev]

hey Glenn you got space for all of us to come round this weekend with a shed load of beer and just watch you rip these cars to pieces
its gonna be MEGA
(by the way dips that manifold cover is just begging for a carbon fibre replacement if you want one pm me)

[glenn]

finished taking the m20 out of the touring tonight, along with it's gearbox.

[H35-IAN]

Fair play glenn for being a absolute legend!! cant wait to see this one awsome man!!

[glenn]

got to put dips's 2.5litre into simon's 'hearse' tomorrow
and then that's another off the drive and i can crack on with the V12

[Simon]
