$32,000 for 1000 bhp bmw is it worth it?
Moderator: martauto
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

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?

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

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 

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

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/
