The 1000hp bimmer allmost ready

[TurboTagTeam]

He's some fliks of my brother's build. He's a little more power crazed than me :mrgreen: The car should be up and running within a couple weeks. We've been working closely with the builder to iron out the cinks. Estimates are about 800-900whp on 12-13psi this time( Last motor made some power at 20psi). We'll know when the motor gets broken in and hops on the dyno for tunning.

Some specs-

vortech t trim built to suit by vortech
cryo'd block
coated block
custom darton sleeves
custom spec arias 9.5/1 pistons
custom gapless rings
custom spec carrilo rods
micro polished crank
shrick cams
stage 3 ported/polished and flow matched heads
1mm oversized ferrera valves
custom valve springs/retainers
custom multi-layed headgasket
re-enginered construction of crank bearing
custom supercharger drive system

What year + model BMW is this going in? Looks like a beaut!

[DropTopChevy]

I remember seeing their site for this. I thought they finished this?

I'm pretty sure it's an M5 correct me if I'm wrong.

But in the last thing I saw about it, the car was completely decked out, no corner cut or overlooked. :thumbup:

[speedDman1]

^^ Well its a V8...so more likely than not it's an m5

The V10 is 2004 and newer only I think :confused:

[1988 Olds]

I'm pretty sure it's an M5 also.

That looks like Triflow's e39 M5 in the background of one of the pictures ( :prayer: Lemans Blue). Custom build S/C V8. I've heard that this was purchased locally... The original owner said that the 800-900rwhp was the street tuning, and he could break traction in every gear. Discovery Automotive thinks they can get 1100-1200hp out of that engine.

My brother bought the car from triflow. It was saposto be in excellent running order when he bought it but we found out different. It had a cracked piston, oblongated(sp) cylinder5, valve tap, and 3 broken ringlands. I spent countless hours underneath this thing over the summer. I was a curse. But, all of that should be sorted out now. D/A claimed that over 1,400hp could be possible, but then you loose all drivability. And that is what this car is all about.

The block is an s62. Which is an E39(96-04) M5 motor. Yes the car is also an M5. And yes it will break loose in just about every gear. I'v seen the traction control light come on a 140mph before :mrgreen:

We tried to bring it to the drag strip once.....The motor absolutly had it's way with the drive shaft. Snapped it like a twig. And the car was not launched at all. This car is all about the highway. It has a 60-140mph time to match a ferrari enzo :mrgreen:

[wonner]

That M5 looks sick....I also like your new avie..

[bastid]

For those who haven't seen all the details, here's the build spec :devil: :

Hehe..I filmed and edited that.

THe suspension is AC Shnitzer coilovers. It has electronic 3-way dampers. It's kind of like Tein's edfc.

Less than 300,000. But only by little. You have to remember that this car and one other (belongs to the Prince of the Kingdom of Baharain) are the only two fully built and supercharged s62 m5 motors in the world. There was a huge amount R&D to make this happen.

[bastid]

Wow. I would have guessed something like $200k max including the car. Damn R&D overhead!

What's the status on this thing?

I've been phsyching my Bimmer friends out about this...I can't WAIT to see this ****.

[TurboTagTeam]

It's being broken in as we speak. As soon as 1,500 miles are reached it will be fully tuned.

Then we'll see if we can find that AMS evo :mrgreen:
