Yep, I'm sure...I had a 2002 for racing in the old BMWCC series and that put out 195bhp on twin Weber 50DCO carbs with a Shrick 316 cam and an Alpina manifold.march109 wrote:really?? not sure about that.Fushion_Julz wrote:If it is an M10 engine, then you can (fairly easily) get a reliable 190bhp from that.BIDIIYANGU wrote:i hav just acquired a bmw 316 without the i the body work is in mint condition and so is the engine. however i wanted to up the bhps a bit what would you guys recommend
Cams, carbs, manifold and some headwork larger valves.
Tim_is has a 2.1L 318is which is a 16valve (not 8valve like M10), and puts out just a bit more than that.
I agree its a great engine especially for its age, and still has its place especially if you like your carbs, but I disagree with your definition of fairly easy.
It is now residing in a road car (2002)...
There were 02s on slide throttles putting out a bit more power than that, too (about 220bhp is the limit, though) and an S14 M3 crank fits and allows a 2.3 M10 capacity.
It wasn't especially cheap, but it was possible and *very* reliable upto 8000rpm!
