It will TRAMPLE ALL OVER WHATEVER, watch cars like Corvette, 300ZX and Cayman get passed 2 TIMES during this 12min vid.

What pistons are those? specs?
Are you switching to a double row timing chain? If yes, why? Looks like it in the pictures.


They had close to 1300 in qualifying engines, which had the lifespan and power of a hand grenade. Less in race engines. The blocks were from used 1502's, which is a very different casting compared to other old M10 blocks ("old blocks" are all strong anyway). E30 M10 blocks are much thinner cast just about everywhere.



Turbo displacement limit was 1500cc not 1600. First manufacturer to take on the old turbo option was Renault. BMW's blocks were used ones, that way all the stresses and tensions were eliminated from the blocks.

They also had very high revs, toluene as fuel and 4,5 bar of boost.

Ross Racing Pistons. I'll post spec tomorrow! And yes double row chain for extra beafyness!

Looks like an awesome build. best of luck..
Didn't BMW use the m10 block on their F1 turbo engines in the 80s. I heard it can produce somewhere in the 1300hp range.

That's right! The Infamous m12! The story goes that they actually used a rusty block that employees would literally piss on that was outsite their facility.. now idk if that true to just a tall tale but thats the story. lol They got the engine up to 1300 BHP with a turbo. Back then there wasn't a restriction on turbos. The rules were it either had to be a 1.8 NA or 1.6 Turbo and BMW went the turbo route. lol Its pretty cool!

Well sorted/clean e30, thought out build and doing it right the first time I think this will be a great turbo build!

[TimeMachinE30]

I'd really like an M10/12'ish build.

Good luck. Some cool YT videos of those old Motorsports engines...
