Jonas Andersson is a member of Skogen Racing drag racing team in Sweden. He competes in a very fast BMW 2002 running a turbocharged M50 inline-six connected to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. He recently decided to go in a different direction and had a 4.0 L Barra inline-six shipped from Australia. Jonas will keep the boost from the BorgWarner S475 turbocharger low in the beginning making 700 horsepower eventually turning it up. The turbo is good for 1,100 horsepower.

What is the whole car weight using the Barra 4.0? I am very curios about it. Engine supports are almost exactly in the same places as in my M20B20 wich came originally with the E34 520i I have. Very good engine on first look this Barra 4.0
Can you post some videos with this car and engine running? Thank you
