M10 Power! - Page 2

here some food for thought. im still new to the bimmer forums, but the M10 is the 320 motor right? mechanical injection? well then here is another cheep alternative...

Run your stock CIS, leave everything in place, build a solid motor (which can be acheived without going out of pocket), pick your turbo goodies, and run it with a split second injector controller. its basically a stand-alone for four injectors that only come on under boost.

i have had very good sucsess with this setup. in a VW we ran a 2L 8v crossflow on CIS basic with the injector controller. with a solid bottom(balanced, arp bolts throughout), and it put 253.4hp to the wheels. this is the plan for my 320i turbo project.

what all is involved in setting up an SDS system, and has anyone done it to give some advice.

Also, if anyone knows of a good brand, please share.

that 800hp one is nuts

Sure is. Resides in Sydney and competes in the NSW Sports Sedan championship, where modifications are fairly unrestricted.

The motor is an M10 with the twin cam head off one of the 80's Formula 1 motors (that reportedly made up to 1500hp in qualifying trim). The owner had to fit an industrial pressure gauge to read the boost as no automotive one would go high enough (~37psi)

.

The car is a full tube frame chassis and now has a 6 speed Hollinger sequential gearbox..On the track the car is rarely seen without footlong flames coming from the exhaust

Dear Bimmerdreamer - i have a M20 2.0 Turboed, and will sell it for 2k

But you will need to handle shipping yourself..

Haven't got it dynoed yet.. but it's smoking those god damned Type-R Civics & Integras

does anyone still make a turbo kit for the m-10?

OldSkoolBmw · #23 (**permalink**) 02-09-2006, 05:21 AM

not that I know of.. There are severl turbo kits floating around.. if you look hard enough you'll find one. I got a cartech kit with everything except fuel for $250...

*update*
well, i have thrown the budget out the window.
priced a few things, looks like a silly fast M10 isnt that expensive.

$1400 for pistons, $1400 for rods and $5K for a sweet builder to put it all together.

the $5K gets me balance, bore, rings and all that crap.

so all i have to do is bring him the bits (head, pistons, rods and block) and he gives me back a nice built balanced motor

should be good for 400 - 500 hp at the crank

What are you going to do for a transmission and rear end. stock components won't last 3 minutes at that power output.

tlmitf · #26 (**permalink**) 05-24-2006, 02:26 PM

the gearbox will be stock, untill i figure an upgrade.
And the diff will be a skyline

i was thinking about a toyota gearbox, but ill see how long the stock getrag boxes go

Get healthy(if avail.) 2002 or 320i E21 engine and put your 318 injection into it. Get head port matched and cleaned, a mild cam and headers.

Easily some 140-150 hp, even more?

another update

money just got really hard to find, as i have had to move out - plus i dont have a job atm.
i got bloody "downsized"

so, atm i have parked the old girl in the shed with a cracked head

but i have gotten my hands on some solex sidedraft carbies. So i will be fitting thoes up, and fixing a few little interior bits untill i can get another job, and start saving some money (i hope, i seem to eat about $150 a week)

dont hold your breath guys, looks like this one is going to take me a few years

hmm with 2k you could prolly make 150wtq n/a with an m10 if oyu can do assembly yourself.
just get a s14 crank s14 rods and some forged custom pistons some used weber 45s and a decent cam should get you there for sure.
150wtq in a 2002 would be no slouch but in an e30 you may as well swap it to an m20 which could achive 150tq with minor bolt ons.
