[QUOTE="dlacey, post: 757296, member: 45913"] [URL]https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/bmw-2002-turbo-induction-ceremony[/URL] In the 1968 European Touring Car Challenge a raft of privateer [URL='https://www.classicandsportscar.com/guides/classic-cars-a-to-z/porsche-911911l']Porsche 911s[/URL] went to war with the works [URL='https://www.classicandsportscar.com/guides/classic-cars-a-to-z/bmw-20022002-tii2002-turbo']BMW 2002s[/URL], which were equipped with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. The [URL='https://www.classicandsportscar.com/marque/bmw']BMWs[/URL] made 200bhp at 7500rpm with the aid of 11:1 compression, and were equipped with large wheelarch extensions and spiderweb-patterned BBS alloys. The Munich factory squad bagged the spoils – just. The margin of victory was half a point, [URL='https://www.classicandsportscar.com/marque/porsche']Porsche[/URL] having taken the final three rounds. The winners were clearly on the back foot. BMW made full of use of the broad-minded Group 5 regulations for the season ahead, the new strain of 2002 racer featuring a single KKK turbocharger mounted forwards and to the right of the slant-four, and fed by the Kugelfischer injection system via a mass of tubing that ran, tendril-like, over the cam cover. Weighing less than 1900lb (862kg) and boasting four-wheel disc brakes behind 10in-wide wheels, the 2002 TiK (the ‘K’ standing for [I]kompressor[/I]) performed brilliantly. Sure, fuel consumption was horrific, and there was no intercooler, but gradual reductions of the compression ratio and constant reinforcement of the high-pressure fuel pump meant that it stayed together long enough to give Dieter Quester four outright victories.
