It's the M12 series of engines that were eventually developed into the turbo F1 cars of the 80's. Some useful information can be found here: http://www.bmwe21.net/?page_id=496

This is how you get 300hp out of a sub 2L N/A motor... I think it's voodoo magic.

I agree it is some kind of magic.

Here is a great thread you'll find interesting. It's a VW sub 2l that was also putting out around 300hp.

Yeah that's pretty sweet.
It's funny when I talk to some people about the hot hatches coming out with sub 2L FI motors making 200+hp, they think it's crazy. I usually chuckle and tell them that engines with that kind of power density have existed for over 30 years, it's just that technology has developed enough to make them streetable, durable, and fuel efficient.
