What kind of potential does my M10B18 have?

One Turbo Build

Good & Tight's build from bimmerforums.com ~360hp

With enough work put into it, it can reach 1500 hp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M10

As far as M10 NA potential, Paul Burke built one in 06-07 that did 321BHP on alcohol and 290BHP on gasoline. I think it was under 2 liters as well (for a specific racing class) I haven't seen better than that yet.

would love to know more about this thing

^----I agree with that. Beautiful engine and ITB's. But...please throw that transmission in the parts washer!

Maybe he meant he works at a body shop, and detailed the outside of Hondas all day? I agree, stock m10's ARE slow.

Not a B18 but....

Kevin Wenzel took this years Solo FSP national championship with a 2002 M10.

Here's a vid. from a couple of years ago ... watch out for the 43sec. mark.

you will need a 318 specific cam, unless you can get a hold of a 2002 dizzy.

I am unsure about management... lol good luck

[Hey_You]

So I have got a question. I'm looking to buy a cam here very soon, and remember reading that the cam/distributor of the 2002 spin the opposite direction of the 318i. Does that mean I have to find a cam specific to the 318i? Or have my reground? Also, does anyone happen to know how the stock L-Jet will handle a bump in displacement/compression/cam?

[Hey_You]

Yeah, my m10 couldn't wax much of anything. It was fun in the corners though. We will see if my new setup that's in the mix will help with anything.

[bloodshot-e30]

my man unless your 318 is built, the only Honda's you'll be laying waste on are D15 nonVTEC Civics

maybe

I'm gonna use a 290 stock regrind in my turbo build. Due to the lack of funds to get a custom grind. So I figure it would be the lesser of 2 evils when compared with a high duration Schrick billet, which is all that is really available here.

[Blackangusinc]

Don't tell this guy not to boost with an aggressive cam, he recommends 304 and up. I believe he is on his own custom grind now but was using a 328/328 100 degrees LSA with serious power output.

800 HP out of an M10, there are some vids in the thread.

That is a really awesome build. Is the owner on r3v?

Also, when i read "aggressive cam" I immediately, and without reasonable cause, assumed Holland meant long duration, and overlap, which traditionally has been a bad deal for boost.
