\"BMW<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordan Barnard built his BMW 118d (E87<\/a>) at his company Motion AutoWorks<\/a> with help from Richie Gilbey<\/a>. Under the hood sits a turbocharged Nissan RB-series inline-six built by Jordan capable of 894 hp (666 kW) to the wheels. The motor features a RB25 block, PRP girdle, Manley 2.6 L crank, Wossner rods, and CP pistons. On top is a ported head with Kelford 272 camshafts, Supertech valve springs, and GReddy intake manifold. Boost is generated by a Garrett G35-1050 turbocharger. Behind the motor is a Nissan CD009 six-speed manual transmission sending power to a BMW E92 M3 rear differential. Listen to Richie explain the project to Jamie from Officially Gassed<\/a> in the video below. <\/p>\n
