That motor is going to power the most powerful car we have ever built. It's a used but low mileage 2.8L m52 with S50 cams, ARP studs and .140 MLS. CR will be abt 8.5 so we can run 20+psi. I am hoping 15psi will suffice but you never know.
I hope to have it in the e36 by the end of the week and running a few weeks later (waiting on production piping).
I am really excited to feel a car with more power than the red car. S/B a blast.
...I wonder if Todd will single-handedly increase the value of M50-M52 powered E34s, E36s, and E39s with an increase of demand in those cars since people will now have the opportunity to purchase reasonably priced and well developed turbo kits for them as opposed to the generic S/C you see on the market now.

Ahh,
I missed the 2.8 part. But wouldn't that still be like 25psi at the manifold for 400whp. So the turbo probably making close to 28-30psi. Thats no trivial!

The 2.5 only needed 10psi to make 321rwhp. Add 10% discplacement and s50 cams and the 2.8 will likely make ~350-370rwhp @ 10psi.
Prolly only need 13/14psi for 400rwhp but we shall see.
