brillomaster Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Niiiiice! Now thats a sleeper, liking the way its looking fairly standard on the outside, and you wouldnt even think it a turbo as it doesnt have the bonnet scoop or an FMIC. Looks hilariously fun drifting as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 That is very cool, although I have to say not the car I'd choose to drop the BMW V10 in, each to their own though, maybe the packaging was nice and easy. I must say, I find reading the numbnut comments on PH articles almost as entertaining as the articles themselves..... The E30 3 Series V10 that someone on there mentioned is, to use another PHer's phrase, "cool as penguin ****". http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.p ... 0-M3-Build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The Zed would be a nice body for an E60 V10 lump.... I love engine transplants, they are usually bonkers which is just fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 i presume people have already seem the e46 m3 v10 thats been kicking around? thats a bit more conventional (still bonkers) must say, v10 in a subaru is a prettyfaroutthere engine swap - if i was swapping an engine, i'd take the heavy chevy V8 out of a camaro and see if i could squeeze in two B16a2 engines from some honda civics lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 i presume people have already seem the e46 m3 v10 thats been kicking around? thats a bit more conventional (still bonkers) must say, v10 in a subaru is a prettyfaroutthere engine swap - if i was swapping an engine, i'd take the heavy chevy V8 out of a camaro and see if i could squeeze in two B16a2 engines from some honda civics lol B16s work in civics because they're light. I'm fairly sure they would struggle in a camaro. Here's a proper engine swap...if you can call it that! I would love to get back into messing with engines and swapping them but I just don't have the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 yeah, fair point on the b16s... even with two of them thats only 220lb ft, even if it is 320hp. 220lb ft wouldnt move a hefty camaro very quickly - i just thought it would be amusing to try and run them in parallel in the same engine bay! That V16 hot rod is immense! Loving the pipework, and how low it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzr350z Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 RE,sons Polo build, link to thread.My mistake,not Audi tt engine,1.8T from an Audi A3 but will be using TT turbo etc,hoping for 300bhp when finished. http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.p ... 249882&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 That's pretty cool. I wonder if it's running race logic traction control or something? No point having heaps of power if your wheels are spinning when you don't want them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
