Damn cool! 540i eater!

Wow.

How come m90 > m30?

Do you work on cars for a living or self-taught?

[User Name 19]

I Agree that is Damn mint as, very smart

if you look on the net its simple to increase displacement of the m90 block to 3.7 with no drama

wereas you know having to bore out a m30 in change stroke etc to get power $$$

[Cale 36]

Awesome stuff, keep us updated.

Love those ACs.

[CamB 48]

Awesome!

Where did you source the pistons from? Any good?

Wow.

why the m90??

late m30 blocks are 92mm. early csi blocks are 93.4mm.

add the later 86mm crank out of the late m30's = more cc's.

bore it out to 95mm, and we come to 3660 odd cc's.

na, grow capsicums for a job, muck round the in shed way too much.

pistons do look good.alloy and cam ground.oblong shape so they expand/shrink with heat cycles.

gapping the rings was a fun job.they came from denco,based in chch. good guy who runs the place,knows his stuff

XS?? no, not that cheap.

its a master power unit.cost effective and has given many miles of smiles

as for manifold etc........ long weekend soon, hopefully nothing happens to stuff up the plans

Would like to see the exhaust manifold. Interesting that you are mounting the turbo on the starter, inlet manifold side of the engine. I've not seen that done before. There must be a reason for this ??
