Looks awesome..

Any chance of posting the s38..:thumbs:

It looks exactly the same as the S14..... Just 2 cylinders more.

They literally cut 2 cylinders off the M88/s38 when they developed the S14

Thanks Morne!

Call me old fashioned but I still think turbos on a ///M car are :yuck:

I agree 100% :thumbs:
But emmisions need to be kept in check. Blame the greenies.

i'd give my right nut for a s14

I think we can blame the greenies for some of it, but when it comes to the higher performance cars, part of the blame lies with us within the motoring enthusiast community.

You see as we start competing on power output, 1/4 mile times, TLGP's, etc, all out performance starts becoming critical and things like engine noise, crisp throttle response from a NA engine and real exhaust notes all start taking a back seat to who crosses the line first. And sadly to cross the line first, the easiest route is forced induction...

Take the M3 CSL vs 1M as a classic example. The "purists" amongst us would agree which is the true M car. Reality is that many people would not spend R500k+ on a 1M, if a FWD GTI with chip + zorst can take you out at the lights. Take nothing away from the 1M - it's an amazing car and I'm just using it as an example to illustrate my point.

BMW e30 M3 S14

And to think this made 175kw in its latest iteration without a turbo, without Vanos, without Valvetronic, without direct injection and without variable intake path length.

The current F30 328i only eclipses that output by 5 kw with all of the above mentioned add-ons.

Where did everything go wrong in 23 years?

lol cars going green and environment friendly with catalytic systems and fuel economy etc etc

lovely thread!!!:inlove:

the power game....

in 1974 bmw used a 1500cc twin turbo motor in their F1 car and that churned out 900bhp...

thats why I find it amazing how people today cannot build a motor for their car that can make proper power... always going on about direct injection and so on...

they just simply dont make them like they used to... i wonder how many e30 owners had issues with their motors running bearings like we are finding today.:nonono:

 

[mcajee]

u are spot on mo.....NA on an M car is normal. and with a turbo, its just odd

Engineers can certainly still build engines with this kind of power. BMW qualifying engines were making closer to 1500hp off 1500cc. But they only lasted for qualifying, and had around 2 seconds of turbo lag.

(Not Studio Qual)

Have to agree with Mo :fencelook:
Now my only hope is that flat 6's stay NA!

What happened to this poor motor?

Next is a sound clip of each engine...
At the BMW Museum in Munich they have a collection of different M-Engines with a headset for each one so that you can listen to it being put through its paces.

Now we just need someone to add that to each picture :fencelook:
