BMW 850 V12 twin turbo

[Carma]

The project has begun! BMW 850 Twin Turbo

The first dyo pulls are in. Again, here is patient
1991 M70 V12, ported\polished heads, full valve job, intakes and exhaust manifold gasket matched and cleaned up, Authority chips, Eisenmann exhaust with resonators removed, CSI clutch kit, 6 speed with UUC short throw shifter, 3.15 LSD, bla bla bla[/font]

-It was a nice cold day in Atlanta and the numbers are in
rear wheel horse power: 256
Rear wheel torque: 286[/font]

Car was running rich, Authority chips. No tuning was done. This is just a base run to know what we are starting with. Cross your fingers, it’s about to get ugly

i always thought a v12 would make way more power than that. guess i was wrong.still a fast car. what are your hp goals?

damn bro, i thought they made alot more power than that??? what are your plans for it???

I don't think the car is running well right now. He said it's rich and untuned - I believe it! 256WHP and 286RWTQ is not enough to take that big of a car up to 185MPH. I could see ~160-165MPH right now, but not 185.

I'm sure that will change soon though

Get some pics of the engine build up. I can't stand all of these wussy-sounding 4-banger "sports cars" these days. Give me a solid, large coupe with an engine that doesn't sound like my ass after a night of Mexican food. I always loved the 8-series coupe! I'm also in love with the new M6! Thank you BMW for making a new BIG badass 2-door again!!!

BTW I've seen your Indy car driving around Buckhead before - I love it!

Yeah the car has alot of bolt ons and no tune and they require very tricky tuning as its got 2 ECU'S for each side of the motor. 256whp is about what they do stock new in good running order and its hard to find a clean good running E31 without need of some sort of electrical "tune" or fix..and keep in mind she's an old girl. With the correct tuning I bet that car should make closer to 280-300whp. Also the video is a 850CSI a very rare high performance version thats much faster than the standard 850i. If you can find one they go for around 40-70k and going up for a clean one. They are more like 300-310whp stock.Good luck Alex!
