Can it be done??

[ProjectTi]

ok i have an 97bmw 318ti, i am totally rebuilding it.. i want to run an twin turbocharged engine on the M44 which could run 18-22psi my main question is can i turbo charge the car? if so where can i get all the parts and what would i need? also what the max boost i could run? if its not possible to run turbo, could i run a tiwn supercharged? if so how much boost?

Tell us why you think you need 2 turbos or superchargers. Why 18-22psi? Can you share some additional details about your project? Scope? Budget? Goals?

I think twin turbo is alot of $$$ spend, i think with one supercherger or one turgo you get the maximun power of the m44, with the money you need to do that is better put a 6cyl. supercharger.... my opinion...

Why not just drop a V-10 in there and screw the 2 turbos or s/c's?

i saw a long time ago in some magazine they stuck a 750 or 850's v12 in a compact...it was kind of cool

I saw that too....the rear wheels were like 12" wide....and it was a very nice car and well thought out.

it's from london, silver one wasnt it, there are some videos of it floating around on the web somewhere.

Racing Dynamics K55 Hurricane.

More of a novelty than anything else really.. For all the work and money it only had a little over 400hp, but had almost the same amount of torque... Probably easier and lighter to go with a euro 3.2 with a low amount of boost. Much cheaper, and the same amount of power...

Most people would think you were a ricer for sticking a V12 badge on a Ti.. Atleast until you blew them away or they looked under the hood..

[PettitWC]

man I would never stick a v12 badge on it though. I'd try to throw some forced induction into it too

To be able to fit the V12 in they had to remove some superfluous parts.. like traction control.. It could light up the rubber in 3rd or 4th from memory

really? I seriously laughed when I read this. like out loud laughing. I think I need some water. I mean posts like this pop up alot but that is just over the top. Buy a Honda.

for that kinda boost ur gunna need a lot of internal work especially for an m44. I would get an m42 and work for there since it's got forged internals already which the m44 lacks

[318iS]

a single turbo will work better and you'll need a lot of internal engine work as broke drift says......

its a custom job too so you better be good or be loaded...

[dguzzardo22]

well can u post a list of internal work needed to be done

[318iS]

stuff like pistons, con rods, head gasket, head bolts that wud be main stuff anyway....
