Flame me!

M20 numbers have no bearing on an M10 turbo whatsoever. The 10psi M10 is impressive but its more than just slapping on a turbo with 8psi, which I seriously doubt would net over 200hp.

Man I need to learn about engine tuning...I hear all the turbo'd guys talking about what cams they use and how to fix their afr's and it confuses the hell outta me. Anyone knowledgable wanna help me out?

-e- couldnt find that guy, but i found this guy

who got these numbers at 15psi


start drooling.

The blue line up in the 300hp range is spraying nitrous, so don't get your hopes up too high

While everyone automatically jumps on throwing in a turbo, just because F&F3 is inspiring everyone to go and pull fat drifts with a very expensive show car, real drifting is about skill.

Brakes are more important than power, I think a stock suspension 318 could really get sideways with some wild steering and good weight transfer.

Or waste a whole bunch of money building an unreliable car that still can't drift, when its the driver.


(Not attacking you, just a somewhat sensible post now that drifting is the most important thing in the world)

I understand all that, its just that when I'm driving around town, I'll miss the power. It'll take me a while to be able to turbocharge it correctly anyway, so in that time I'll learn how to drift with the horribly underpowered M10. It's actually much better to learn in an underpowered car because it teaches you to be able to drift the right way- with weight transfer. You really can't power over in an AE86 or an M10, so you have to feint or (if you've got the balls) dynamic drift.

I don't want the turbo for drifting, I want it more for the daily driving aspect of the car.

EDIT: Please don't think I'm just drifting because of that god forsaken movie. I've been into drifting since late 2002, and I've been actually doing it for about a year.

Yea, the rain. GG. Mmm.. Who'se going to Vegas for the NHRA/D1GP thingy.

[e30devo]

i used to have fun drifting the hell out of my m10. its got enough power to do it, its just sort of peaky. but weight transfer is a must.

Oh noes!

Otis, come out swinging! Otis is the little gay greek guy down in Florida with a turbo 2.1L M10 that has 330rwhp. All the work done himself, megasquirt 2, and some ginormous turbo.

Video, its FAST!

Oh yeah, no nitrous used in video, makes the clutch slip

[e30 gangsta]

Whats drifting?

[chuckybob]

2.1L M10

is that all stroke, all bore, or a little of both? whats the compression ratio? is there a site with stats?

[E30_pilot]

Whats drifting?

come on dont act like you know?



lol j/k.

With the 318i,like everyone said,for more power slap a turbo. I've never drove a m10 so i dont know how under powered it is. But maybe weight transfer would help you. Also try kicking the clutching lately? ;)

[Rennsport]

shit save the money on the turbo, for about the same price as a GOOD turbo set up you can drop an s50 engine in it and scare the shit out of every racer boi (aka ricer) out there.
its more reliable than a turbo motor as well.

[chuckybob]

fuck yo six cylinda, nigga!


seriously though, you cant uptune an m50 by turning a single screw, but its the way to go if you want reliability.

[Hick]

is that all stroke, all bore, or a little of both? whats the compression ratio? is there a site with stats?

stroke via an older m10b20 [e21 320i] crank. bore, might be pistons from an euro m30 or m50, dont recall, but larger then stock.

site? what the fuck, he did this for fun, not fame! if i find a dyno, ill post it up.

[imsotyerred]

probably much cheaper to just turbo it, and more fun

[Underpowered]

Since this motors got like 224000 miles, i think im gonna find a lower mileage M10 and build it up and when its ready, drop it in. Do you know where I can get info on boring and stroking M10s? ALSO how do you DIY bore out the cylinders? dont you need a machine shop for that?
