Posted by Danny These folks say: Here is The site: Scroll down the page to see a photo. I sent them an email saying: I am ineterested in receiving any relevant information you have pertaining to the : Here is what they sent me back: Hi Danny, The 3.6 L engine is the best choice. Under normal driving conditions the engine will be good for at least 18,000 miles. If it is constantly driven to the limit (burn outs, drag racing
) it would be good for around 3,000 miles. If the outside air temperature is so hot that the intercooler is not 100 % effective, power might drop to approximately 940 hp. The price is $100,000. The exhaust must be built completely new. Do you have a maximum decibel level, 100 db ? The engine will be completely overhauled with new pistons and cylinders, dry sump lubrication, An overhauled six speed transmission would be needed. Thanks for your interest Also, Kormann recommended not to turbocharge this engine. Alpina did their thing: Steve Dinan did his: Evan Garage did this: Many other people have performed conversions similar to these. I am intersted in knowing what has proven to be a reliable and proven setup.

I see that you were able to achieve 650+ bhp into your M90. How much bhp can one achieve from an S38? I have an e28 m5 and want to know what options I have to boost performance with reliability. I think around 400bhp will be fine for me. I will consider more if reliablity is still in the equation.

I was wondering if that is based on the e28 or e34 engine?

electronic gas control, and much more in order to realize the high performance level.

Also, I personally spoke with Corky Bell of Bell Engineering Group, Inc. He took part in the creation of a turbocharged M5 producing approximately 550-600 bhp. He said that it wasn't successful. Kormann rebuilt the engine for him. I tried to contact the owner directly, but he just recently passed away. The car was featured in European Car Magazine. The issue was called THE BEST OF EUROPEAN CAR BMW POWER...Display until 1/27/98.....1998 Annual. It actually came out in April 1988.
