ubiquitous Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've always thought the E30 M3 to be a classic- I think I appreciate that body design better than any of the other M3's with it's flared fenders and old school boxy looks. When I first opened that thread, I was worried about the potential of a butchered monstrosity that I'd see with a V10 shoehorned into it's engine bay; suffice it to say, I was very surprised (and relieved) to see what appeared to be a rather clean and stock looking body with the completed pics. Well done with a lot of custom fabrication to get things right. Wonder what kind of behavior and performance this beast has on the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, the V10 in the M5 (which I assume is where it came from - I can't say I've read the thread in detail just looked at the pics ) runs 400bhp unless you engage the M-Sport mode (or whatever they call it) where it's 500bhp. Given that the car is pretty much now just a shell lol but taking into account that the engine etc must weigh a bit more than the standard... it's probably just over a ton - which must make for some insane acceleration at 500bhp/ton Edited September 16, 2009 by Member X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 its going to be very front heavy. Cool project, but I imagine understeer is going to be a nightmare. So many other, better IMO options to throw money at. Nissan coming to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronoluvvv Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 reminds me of that V-12 powered Golf they tested on Top Gear every time they came outta a corner the back stepped out & incinerated the tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I wonder how much that thing cost ???? I'ts nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 P4GTR beat me to it: OMFG the under steer! "V10 in a box" The E30 is THE small Beemer IMHO and an M5 six is more than enough engine for one of these, sounds nicer too! I had a lovely 2.8 E30 coupe a few years ago untill some fool came thru a red light . . . Glad I was in that car! Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 While the S85 V10 is a big engine, I'm not sure how much it weighs over the S14 that originally came in that E30 M3, which I'm pretty sure was a cast iron block. The V10 is cast aluminum; if they mounted the motor as far back and as low as they could, handling could still be pretty neutral, I think. That would largely depend on what kind of weight distribution they were able to achieve. Also, we're dealing with weight up front with (massive) power being driven from the rear. It's not like a big heavy motor going into the nose of a FWD (where big understeer would be a problem). Since they changed all the suspension pick ups and swapped subframes with E90 M3 parts, it would be interesting to see how this thing behaves on the track.

chubbchubb Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 This is what I found on a German forum discussing the same thread.... Weight comparison - engine only s50 R6 (cast iron) 154 kg s65 v8 (aluminum) e39 202 kg s85 v10 e60 m5 240 kg here's some more about it... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2929437 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuuubeh Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) The RB26DETT R34 is indeed formidable, but preferrably without the Veilside kit Nonoo, I dont care about the kit. This car IS with the kit tho.. in case you still cant recognize my point Veilside Veilside 1300hp R34 Nissan Skyline GTRThe World Record holder of 'Domestic Fastest Speed on the Street.' This was accomplished in New Zealand. (Under 5000cc Class) This fully worked R34 hit a top speed of 346.20km/h on the open road just out of Rotorua here in Kiwiland. 7 of Japan's fastest street cars met on the weekend of 5-7 November 1999 for an open challenge and the Veilside R34 ate the competition. This consisted of RX7, Supra, WRX, MX5, EVO and Aristo. This particular R34 is pumping out over 1300hp. It hosts two HKS GT3240 turbochargers, providing enough charge to handle an awesome 2.7kg boost. This R34 also features an HKS Vein Pressure Controller (VPC) and an HKS EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) If I remember correctly it did 0-300 within 13.7 secs. I'm by no way a motor sports fan, but I kinda remember that . It was some years ago tho.. PS 1017 hp at the wheels, not 1300, dunno where they got that number.. oh well Edited October 30, 2009 by Neuuubeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hmmmm... I seem to remember the Top Secret Skyline and (I think) an RB26DETT powered Supra putting down some pretty serious figures with Smokey Nagata behind the wheel during a freeway shake down run. That motor along with Toyota's 2JZ-GTE are both capable of some pretty serious tuning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hehe... I owned a BMW 323i when I was a kid. I think it was a 1986 model (but not 100% sure). Straight six engine. It even had a "computer" on top of the rear-view mirror. I also owned a 528i (E28 model 1983) before that. I've been a Merc man for a long time but you gotta admit that these old BMW models have much more spirit than the new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 hey BT, i also owned a 1983 528i, and man i miss it had a computer on top of the rear view mirror too! nothing can beat a Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 hey BT, i also owned a 1983 528i, and man i miss it That model was my absolute favorite... did you have that annoying "INSPECTION" light constantly shining on the speedometer? It looks old today but the "spirit" is definitely there... loved my E28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ur picture just brought back a million memories mine's color was Maroon and yes the inspection light annoyed the h*ll outta me! I also had another computer thingy that looked like a calculator next to the dashbard im driving a stupid Hyundai E30 now! feels like riding a bike after driving a 528i for 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
