R034 blower ?bhp?
Howdy folks, have had an R034 knocking around the garage for years, the lobes are in quite good nic. I was going to put it on my Capri. I've set the CR and the injector size to cope with up to 8psi and have been running the engine in n/a since it was rebuilt. Now the time has come to mount a blower ...

http://bmwv8capri.yolasite.com/resources/sump%20diagram4.jpg New sump arrangement draining section behind steering rack into front pan through crossmember.

The manifolds are pressed & tubular steel flanges are stainless.

Width between heads on M60/62 is a problem for a lot of engine bays (about 710mm/28") I kept getting oil leaking out the rear crank seal with my new bodged sump on a 530 V8 and then the same with the sump fitted to a 740 unit, and i think the problem was not having enough fall on the big shelf. The ...

hi folks
Wish i'd found this forum ages ago, really impressed by some of the projects and 1/4 mile times. My current projects are a BMW M60 V8 in a Ford Capri, and some vintage sidevalve stuff. Recent work has been having the block linered, porting the heads and re-making the sump. Still a bit of a shoestrin...

Hi all, i wish i'd browsed this site 4 years ago before i started fitting an M60 into a Capri - i like BMWE36's appoach to modifying the oil pump and was impressed with those dyno results too, which show the breathing potential of these motors with exhaust & mapping mods. To avoid the crossmember, i...
