just been given an e28 ***now with pics***updated

[whipsey]

what can i do to it at the minute its a 1.8 but i'm thinking of doing an m50 conversion would this be the same as for the e30?

[gareth]

err, why not M30 it at the very least? more grunt and with readily available standard parts

V12?

[whipsey]

i just thought m30's were in the e28's any way lol i'm still in e30 mode

[gareth]

M30 was the biggest. some had a 2.5 M30!!! others had a M20 afaik, some also had a M(whatever?) 4 pot.

[whipsey]

mmmm now thats got me thinking do i put my m30 in the touring the cabriolet or the e28?

[hammoj28]

m30 turbo.

[Simon13]

m10 4 pots in 518

520 was an M20 all the others where M30's me thinks, 525,528,535

[nickso]

m60

[whipsey]

so if the 1.8 in there is an m10 what can i do to it to get some more power don't these have insane amounts of bhp being pulled threw them abroad?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

You want to make a project out of this?

[whipsey]

yeah another one i think lol

[snoops]

turbo is the way to go

[DRIFTBOY]

I rather fancy doing a slaaaaag of an E28 with a huge Ford or Chevrolet V8!

M50 would be a waste in an E28, theyre too heavy

[whipsey]

how much work would a chevy engine be to fit?

Hardly. A 518 only weighs 1140 kilos. You'll find an E46 weighs more.

[whipsey]

its got an m10 whats the easy way of getting silly power from it?
i'm toying with the idea of a track slag so if i don't use the m10 i may break the engine the bodys not very nice but its sortable any ideas fellas?

[daimlerman]

Anything is possible,just check PPC and the Merlin engined Rover(woof woof)a BMW V12 should fit,I have a large Birmingham spanner....

[maxfield]

Find the biggest turbo you can and strap the engine to it!

max isnt often right, but thats the best plan

[maxfield]

Bastard.

Apparently you can get 100hp per liter N/A from these but that would be costly.

Especially when the same price of that you could probably be running over 500hp+

[curryp]

nice number plate

[Barnz]

I think Turbo turbo turbo all the way... ppppppppppppssssssssssssshhhh

oops crap impression of a dump valve.... he he he it's Friday night!

Look what happened to the M10 on an 02 when they turboed it in 74... 170bhp.

[gareth]

bmw got 1500bhp from a 1500cc M10 in the turbo era of F1
