Project Apocolyps

[Jon K]

I haven't posted all the parts and I haven't recieved all the parts, its just too much to list, and what I mean by hyperstrength is that they have been custom made to handle stupid amounts of boost. By the way take a good look at the S38 block and its identicle to an m30 and an M102 the difference is the pistons and rods.

k. so are you tubbing the chassis with a ford 9" solid rear axle? I have seen turbo E36 M3s with only 650 wheel horsepower explode axles. k.

the E34 m5 subframe can withstand it with the factory m5 diff, all the mounts have to be urethane though I know because there is is an M5 down here with 1000whp and beats on the car like a red headed step child. Plus I owned an e36 and blew the rear end off of it, after that i did researsh and found out that its one of the e36 weakpoints, the mounts for the diff on the e36 can't stand the pressure mostly because its designed for smoothness not a huge amount of power.

oh by the way the 12 injector slots is for 2 rows of injectors to keep up with the air flow that is going to be pumped into the engine

As with Jon, I'm interpreting this thread with a bit of incredulity.


Here's my advice. Sell the E34, if you actually own one, and buy this!







You can definitely get 1200rwhp out of that! Thank God for Summit!

I should have pictures of the built head in here within the next couple days... Plus this is the car that I'm trying to go after because this car is an animal. http://www.vsmotor.no/en_pictures.html

Heh, Vidar's **** is so strong you can smell it from here.

That S38 is a killer and Scandinavians are turbo animals, especially that other e34 with the three-mile long intake manifold (similar to Vidal's) that Erich introduced us to a few months back.

If you take an M30 and add those sick 2-metre diameter Scandinavian turbos they use, setup the Autronic, injectors and so on, you end up with some seriously sick ****. I will definately be hunting around for a first time look at this stuff, next time I go North...

Problem is, I always thought that if one built a motor like that, taking so much time and effort to check and recheck, calculate and over-calculate, build and re-build, etc. - how do you ever know how much boost/NO2 & etcetera you can add? Where does one stop? Sure the shafts or the diff will go first in most cases; but ultimately with a tubbed 9" rear such horsepower is just an exercise merely to see what can be done, let alone and one that will likely come apart in the process (spoiling everything).

I've seen that happen too often- and invariably the builder often just goes on to another project. Are you really prepared to do this? Be sure you are it will take more than time, money and effort.

I know I am just me, but I am happy that these motors go well enough in the real world... and have potential. I am keener than most to check this stuff out and swoon, but is it really worth it for you to do all this just to push an M30 to a desired output figure? Why do such a thing- what is your driving interest in it? And how will you work out where to stop without blowing it all sky-high? Nick

Sounds awesome. Take lots of pictures.

Chuckles... she doesn't look like she 'Dodged' a lot Whit...

perhaps you can put her on the bay as an 'ideal rebuild for anyone looking for a strong turbo-project'...

[McWatters]

Yea sounds like a great project, good luck
u seem to know what ur doing. but thats alot of money that could go to something else

Actually, we got sick of looking at it by december (even though it was down at the bottom of the parking lot), and, I'm not even joking, threw it in the dumpster. Now it's probably being made into a chinese skyscraper

time I've got plenty of, money well that's in the works, and motivation I can't stop myself from pursuiting more. Ever since the my first car was given to me at the age of 12 I started building it and have failed because of lack of materials and child labor laws. All in all i want to design and build the true ultimate driving machine and what better car to do it in than the company who uses that slogan. This car isn't just going to be a high horspower drag car, I hate that! Its almost too hard to explain what I'm trying to get out of this car. Um lets say I'm biulding a Bently, a Ferrari, and a 69 camaro all in one. I know it sounds farfetched but if I don't build it I lose meaning of all motivation.
