there are a few guys running turbos that run over 400hp. It won't be much more then 200hp unless you go with forced induction.

I am getting 192 with BBTB, Piper filter 6 branch manifold scorpion bbox but with a cat (to be replaced ) and oz (oguz3001) made 202 with an earlier car (higher comopresion ) and no cat..

Think PPF have just extracted over 700bhp from an M20 using the diesel crank to give a 2.7 plus some decent management, big intercooler, giant turbo and a trick inlet manifold......and then there's the rods, pistons and cams.

If you've got a lot to spend, you can make silly power

if youve got a lot to spend id put something else in as a better starting point

[maxfield]

Something like a S38B36 or S50B32. If you want that in english E34 M5 3.8 engine and a E36 M3 evo engine.

E34 M5 3.8 engine

id go for that probably

[mattG]

S38B36 is my dream, what sort of dosh do they go for must be rocking horse

[e30bmlover]

s50b32 now your talking!

here we go!

i would get a cam, 6 branch, head work, 3 or 5 angle valve, big bore throttle body and a good re map.

it will rev it's tits off, you will lose some bottom end torque but it will fly for a 325i after 3500rpm and make a "proper" 190bhp or there abouts. That would keep me smiling for a while!

that lot will cost u a good dollop to get done aswell
