BMW-M3 ENGINE 6 CYLINDER

GUYS.
I want to open small discussion about M3 engine 3.6 L.
is it possible this engine can reach 440 HP. as NA Engine

[Bruno]

there was no M3 engine 3.6L

it was either 3.0 or 3.2

the idea is ...can it happen that M3 v6 engine produce 440 hp as NA engine

[Bruno]

never... btw it's an inline 6 and not V6

A bit of history about the s54b32… this engine is derived from the 3.0 inline-6 found in the Non-M version e46 330i. They have technically stroked it or made every component beefier and bigger, they even put so much time in developing the exhaust system to perfect this engine to produce instead of 229BHP an astonishing 343BHP that alone is an accomplishment. Then again they came up with CSL version of this motor, it had improved internals with improved headers, and improved air intake. That was able to give it another 30HP or so.

Bottom line is this engine is already running at it’s limits there is minimum room for play, you can lighten the internals and do a head job for valves etc… people claim too much stuff especially leabanese people. If one guy comes to you and tells you that know for sure that he is BSing as usual

man check it out the car.....they are saying that its 447 hp

i told you if it's lebanese it means it's bullshit. the calculations of the lebanese people who always exagerate by let's assume a constant factor of 20% on average. so BS + lebanon = :thumbsdown: rockets in making

yep man...bass wala 3aybbbb haikk...ya3ni this engine is better than nascar engine...

17 bhp to be exact :)



On another note, this car is for Charbel Farhat and is truly a beast as i have seen it many times on hill climbs getting close times to evos sometimes but 447 bhp is a bit far fetched.

[stoned-head]

if that engine revs 10K rpms or more with proper mods
then it will crack 400+ hp easily ( NA )
I remember Charbel Farhat when he participated in Rumman
hill climb many years ago with an e21 that had an engine
revving sky high ( rumors were that it's a 12k rpm engine
built for circuit racing in france , but don't count on me for that !! )
he was so damn close to EVO timings & the screaming 6 cylinders was OHHHH LORD :bow:

O.T. seriously guys what's the meaning of name " Charbel " ??

[Bruno]

of course he will get good times...

can someone confirm this. let's assume engine X produces 300wheel hp on chassis A on a dyno. if you put this same engine on Chassis B which weighs significantly less will that yield a higher number of wheel hp reading on that same dyno?

i've read this on several forums and usually people put more power when they swap engines in lighter cars. it has to do with the dyno callibration.
