No, the radiator will still bolt into the stock location, there will still be place for an intercooler somewhere.

148,7 kw (200hp) @7363, 214nm (158ftlbs) @5897, at the wheels.

Howcome the E36 325i engine puts down so much power on the wheels ?

 

[Psymon69]

im sure its not TOTALLY stock haha! plus the management helps alot. lets wait for him to elaborate on this.

 

[Karthik]

There must be a turbo lurking in there that I can't see , cause my e46 325i doesn't even make that on the engine . He's giving me hope here :rollsmile:

 

[Sankekur]

Remember he is at the coast as well if I am not mistaken, so that also accounts for higher numbers.

 

[slowe30]

haha no turbo kit hidden anywhere, not yet at least :idea: The motor has been completely rebuild and is running very strong, with 255/245 cams, a raise in compression, 7,700 redline, and really nice tune, im sure ill be able to squeeze a bit more out with larger injectors and a decent header.:thumbs:

 

[moranor@axis]

very nice must be fun to drive also...

 

[Weerwolf]

Well Done!!!

this is so wel thought out and your attention to detail is awesome.

 

[Raybimmer]

The M50 non vanos motor normally revs to 6500 , so 7700 is high !! Power is 138 Kw at flywheel at coast so about 112 Kw at wheels .
If cams , management and exhaust add another 35 to 40 Kw at wheels that is good .

What cams are you using , are they Schrick copies ? I would expect up to 280/290 degrees , but 245 etc may be good for turbo power later !!!!

Total cost of engine mods excluding motor ? ( have e360325i as donor !!!! ) :fencelook:
