E39 M5 & Corsa track
Just thought i'd put a few pics up of my other toy...
Started life as a 1.4 16v corsa sport, however i soon got bored and fitted a 140bhp 1.6 16v engine:
this was how it stayed for a while, however i still hankered for some more, so here started my relationship with Jamie of JAMsport, originally i was just going to be fitting throttle bodies and gotech mfi pro, however we decided to try some newman 288 duration cams aswell....
the result:
190bhp, not bad for a 1.6!
this was all good for a while, however after 11months of use and one fateful moment at craner curves this happened:
after a day or so parts were ordered to get it up and running again, spec list includes the following:
Pace dry sump kit
DK Engineering steel crank
Sainz H section rods
Woosner forged pistons with deeped valve cut outs
Broddled block
JAM-sport ported head
Newman cams to suit 10500rpm limit
stainless 1 piece valves
BTB 4-2-1 manifold
electric water pump
pedal box
lots of earls fittings
prolite 350 fuel line
along with a few bits form the old engine:
Jenvey 45mm taper throttle bodies
quaiffe atb
the block:
the bits:
BMW m3 individual coils so i can run full sequential ignition:
the engine:
the car:
how heavy is it:
any way thats it really
we hope to see 230-240bhp from it with the 10500rpm rev limit.... should be interesting!
recently MOT'd and being run in!
