The theory is simple, swap a bulletproof powertrain into a cheap RWD chassis and go fast. However it’s never that simple in practice and requires a lot of work. Francisco<\/a> was up for the challenge when he started in 2014 transforming his 1999 BMW 323i.<\/p>\n

Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2JZ inline-six rebuilt with CP pistons, Brian Crower HD rods and 276 Stage 3+ camshafts, Ferrea valves (factory size), custom liners with 20-thou overbore, Real Street Performance billet main caps, and features a 10:1 compression ratio. <\/p>\n

He finished the engine with FID2000 cc injectors, FIC fuel rail, 1ZZFE ignition coils, custom exhaust manifold, factory intake manifold, and BorgWarner S369SXE turbocharger. It made 720 horsepower to the wheels before some issues stopped the dyno run. Francisco recently upgraded to a Haltech Elite 2500 ECU and hopes for 1,000 horsepower.<\/p>\n
