    Turbo m62 e30

    I thought an N/A m60 was a tight fit in an e30... this guy found room for a well designed turbo system. The header primaries are even equal length. Impressive work! Looks like the engine bay remained un-butchered as well.

    From what I gathered in a quick read-through of the thread, he just got it up and running, on 4.5psi. He plans to tear the engine down and build it for 15-18psi once the bugs are worked out. Should be insanely powerful, probably 800+hp. I've seen an 11psi m60 do 640whp in a Volvo 240.

      Hmmh, as long as you can push the engine far enough there indeed can be space for "everything". :)


      With regards to the actual build, based on this picture I'd highly doubt it will hold together for long ...

                I hope he finds a way to shield those fuel lines.....
