Secondly there was a small tube mounted in the exhaust manifold for emission testing. Furthermore the rear spoiler from the Evolution 2 model was not road legal, therefore the Evolution 2 was officially sold with an Evolution rear spoiler.

Nice project !!! To satisfy my curiosity, why didn't you swap a N73B60 or B66? N74 6.6lt twin turbo to get an output of...600hp. This can be considered as a big bunch of heavy dead metal spinning around the block for almost nothing else than making this power unit very complicated and heavier then the NA version. I am involved into such engines as we are developing a BMW N73B60/66 engine to swap. This engine is fitted with a dry sump, in order to save room under the engine, we opted to set the oil pumps inside the dry sump, this to simplify the power unit integration. A totally new air plenum is also part of the mods as the genuine one is just a shame, almost all the volumes being different on each pipes. A completely new manual gear box casing has also been developed in order to perfectly match with the engine mounting interface. In my opinion and technically speaking the N73 engine can more than easily deliver well over 600hp without any turbo need. As the N73, the N74 ECU is CAN linked to the auto gearbox. Using another gearbox implies the need of deep programming tasks or request the OEM ECU swap. Hope to see updates soon !!! All the best for your great project ! (by the way, if you would consider selling the original N74 oil pan, I am interested!)

Hi! Thanks for all of the comments, and your kind words. First, yes, the N73 was definitely discussed. The client REALLY wanted to use the N74, so that is why we went in that direction. (we discussed on how much more complicated this swap would be - but he wants what he wants!) That is very cool that you are working on N73 swaps -- Would love to see your progress as well! What oil pump did you use? Ours will be an external unit. We are using the 8-speed auto box, but it will be driven by an external controller, so it can handle the clients power goals, we can tune the shifts, and the client will have paddle shifters on the column. We do not plan on using the stock DME, but a standalone system that we can program. Please stay tuned for more updates soon -- Enjoy the Drive -- Mo.

@@offcamberautosportshop I now better understand the engine choice as it is a customer will. For sure the engine will fit under the hood, then the challenge will be about building suitable attachments with absorbers and isolate the engine bay from the turbos heat. Direction column and wheels rack will be another challenge, I am sure you will find appropriate solutions. Oil pump: We kept the genuine twin stage pumps gears, a specific casing has been machined to host the gears, keeping the stock chain drive. The pumps internal pressure regulator between the two stages has been dropped. The thermostat and pressure regulator is then bolted onto a custom interface replacing the water-cooled alternator. ECU: The N74 is "somewhat" easier to handle than the N73 as the Valvetronic is not there…but the turbos must be managed. There are some ways to fit two aftermarket ECU's working together managing "two 6 cylinders inline engines", this solution is certainly more affordable than getting an ECU able to manage a V12 fitted with double VANOS, direct injection and turbos. On the N73 I have the "luck" to have some options to get the genuine ECU's (5 units!) working on the engine after some prog work. Gearbox: Good option to get a gearbox coming with its standalone management, however I doubt that no interfacing is needed between the gearbox and the ECU's. On my side I didn't consider sequential gearbox as I do not appreciate them, thus I decided to go through a complete gearbox casing redesign, incorporating a perfectly matching clutch bell to the engine interface together with an internal oil pump fitted there to cool the gearbox through an external radiator. Hope to see updates soon, if I have time I'll try to post some vids from our work.

We looked at several options on the transmission, and for the client's needs the 8 speed with paddle shifters was the best one. I do love your idea of a custom case with additional cooling.

Great cars, but the Evo1 was 2.5-16 too, not just the Evo II variant. It was private teams that raced the 2.3-16 with the regular body. The first factory race car and its road going variant was 2.5-16 Evo with Mercedes-Benz developed head, and none of the Evo models had the Cosworth head. BMW as far as I know did not chop M1's S38 engine, but only the cylinder head, and used it with the 4 cylinder M10 short block. It was 2.3 through Evo1 and Evo2, and only got the 2.5 with Sport Evolution (Evo3) variant in 1990. Finding these special cars and shooting a video with post production takes a lot of time and effort, it would be great if the information was correct, too.

If we are to be 100% pedantic, the BMW E26 M1 was fitted with the M88 engine, not the S38. The S38 is a straight-6 DOHC petrol (gas), engine which replaced the M88 and was produced from 1984-1995. The S38 was originally produced for North America as an equivalent to the M88 with slightly lower power output and used in the North American E24 M6, whereas the European E24 M635 CSi was fitted with the identical M88 engine from the M1. The legend that is Paul Rosche simply lopped off 2 cylinders from the M88 head and mated it to the iron block from the M10. The S14 engine code was chosen because from concept to working engine took just 14 days...not 14 weeks. Great video, enjoyed it immensely.
