interesting paint design.

What a perfect combo BUT, for that price I would expect a nicer drivers seat, a clean engine bay, and better photos in the ad

Idk 8k is cheap for an s50b32 swap compared to what they have been in the past. You'd be pressed to find one for that price without a trans usually. Not to mention they claim it only has around 42,000 miles on it. That thing is basically brand new lol

They arent in the minority for having a remote mounted turbo, they are in the minority for having an Intercooler on a remote mount turbo

[Earl]

That's neat

[patsbimmer1]

There's a reason remote mount turbo's aren't more prevalent.  It's a decent looking car but that's such a bad idea.

I found the owners channel on YouTube

[FieroSS]

Worst case scenario you ditch the turbo and you're left with a 6-speed 540 touring which never came to the States.

But i would leave it alone for a while just to see what its like haha.

seems, redundant?

i can imagine why he did this though, packaging a turbo in any m60/m62 car would be a goddamn nightmare.

however, he should have just supercharged the sumbitch.

We need a remote mounted supercharger. Connect it to a drive wheel, that way the boost is linear in relation to speed and the faster you go the faster you go

Supercharger attached to the output of the diff, pushing out like 5 psi per mph. Let it bleed off excess pressure until you hit 60 or 70 then shut off the fuel and run on pure compressed air for as long as you want to go. Infinity mpg!

Newton is skeptical.

*logic by Xzibit.

OR we run a remote mount electric supercharger that builds boost based on input from the crank sensor.  Perfect boost at all RPM's!

I do have a fantasy involving a CVT transmission on a supercharger though for variable boost/drag control

Well hot damn! Makes me want to twincharge with one of these or go straight supercharged now

[patsbimmer1]

I think, with our combined resources and knowledge, we can come up with a perpetual motion power adder!  100% boost, 100% of the time with no downside!
