Its a S38, which powers the E34 M5. Built like a tank, eats cars like a beast! Its an evolution of the legendary M88 engine. The last production batch was in 1995, a 3.8 fully tuned motorsport engine producing 347hp and 406 NM of torque. Yup, more than 10 yrs ago!

The 316 and 318 used M10 engines. From 1987 it was replaced with the M40 which are more common on Malaysian roads.
320 and above are generally M20 engines. Do a research. People have turbocharged M20s before. Turbocharged M10 stories have been heard of as well.
A little trivia:
The S14 M3 engine is based on the M10 block.
(If you can find one, please let us know)

S14 is based on the M30 engine. All that was done was to remove 2 cylinders. That is why if you look at the intake dimensions are also the same except for the extra 2 cylinders.
S14 comes in 2 different ccc. 2.3 & later the 2.5. S14's are very high performance & is design to to the max. It was built mainly as a track car therefore anything below 3.5k Rpm you will feel nothing. Go above that & its fun. So for street use its useless if you ask me. The S14 is already max out so force induction will kill the engine.
Parts for the S14 is will cost u a bomb. Just x2 or 3 versus std M20 parts.

ok.... seems so many people discourage me on turbo-ing a bimmer, can i ask yall the best way to tweak "if" i got m10 or m40?
i emphasis again that i'm a newbie..
my other option on n/a engine will be :- (pls correct me if wrong, these all based on my experience with japan cars)
1. racing cam
2. manageable ecu(can it be fitted? :dunno: )
3. intake manifold
4. exsaust manifold
5. flywheel lighten
"if" those thing can be done... i'm guessing increasing in hp will be below 100 maybe below 50
..
m10b18 hp range is 88 to 103
m40b18 hp range is 111 to 114
do the math ...
so whats ur opinion?
