Michael. 2313 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 I say good luck with the turbo exhaust manifolds I wonder would there be space in a 750i engine bay for this kind of setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yankus 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2011 Room wont be an issue. I've seen a V8 twin turbo where the turbos are actullay under the car beside the gearbox. Or the turbos could sit high and off to the side rather than under the manifold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbothepunk 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 how big is the bellhousing and can you get a clutch and stick gearbox for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melowpuf 19 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 how big is the bellhousing and can you get a clutch and stick gearbox for it? Im dropping my spare engine and bellhousing into an engineer next week to have it welded to the front of a Getrag from a V8. otherwise the real deal 6spds do come up every now and then, be prepared to spend in excess of $8k from our calculations to go genuine manual.
