wow that looks an extremely tidy conversion....a turbo 3.6 M5 ????

[bimmerd00d]

that looks like a 3.6, with a rather large turbo, and an E30. No good can come from this :D

[bahnstormer]

u guys haven't seen his videos?
that car puts out very very well

[TC535i]

3.8, actually!

[winfred]

ahhhhhh the old put a turbo the size of a commode on a allready hot motor then cram it in a small car trick

That one NEVER gets old! :D

Ah yes, the 3.8.......drop the throttle and do corkscrews.

Very nice conversion, check out the extra cooling down at the bottom end, some nice e39 M5 screens would work well.

'91 ///M5 (it's handbuilt too)

Seriously... that IC is basically the entire length of the bumper. Of course, the turbo is the size of my head...!

[winfred]

can we say lag?!

That's just wrong on so many levels..... but oh so good. - JT

You could probably feel the lag at about 80mph for about a second, the next 80mph would be after you blinked your eye from looking at some stupid lag gauge....

[winfred]

yea but most people don't drive at 100 plus all of the time, a off throttle stomp has gotta be boring till it slams your head into the backseat

sorta like hitting the fuel pump overboost cut off on a old 240 volvo turbo, you slam your head into the steering wheel then a second later you get thrown back in the seat if you are still on it

...once that big ol' bastard spooled up. Must be quite an experience....

I want to see this car lined up against the VS-Tuning 1100hp E34 in a race over the flying mile. Does anybody know what trans and diff this car is using? If they're related to the stock parts in any way I'll be MIGHTILY impressed.
