This thing is just insane. A 130i N52 with a race cam, euro E36 M3 ITBs, flowed head, locked full lift valvetronic, and more. 335 whp

Anyone know if N52s can fit in the BRZ?

Hey man I hear you like stacks. And mechanical fuel injection just because.

It would be the perfect engine for it. Makes its power near redline, meaning more encouragement to wring it out.

six???

Yup. 2.6 Weslake V6 out of an RS2600 Capri. Factory mechanical injection, though this one is missing the clear plastic fuel lines to the injectors.

Okay, hot fords with six cylinders get confusing on this side of the pond.

Yeah. Its a real shame.

Have another. 2.8 Cologne V6 in race trim with headers and triple Solex 2-barrels.

"Who needs a windshield wiper? Just cut some holes in stuff til the fuel line fits."

And Jeremy Clarkson made fun of the 130i... almost 112 NA hp/liter though!

That's fucking insane amounts of awesome. Can I haz?

JayZAyEighty thinks C4+3=C7 > Brian Silvestro 08/28/2014 at 15:45

That will be... $50 please.

I must do this to the Z4 secretly though. And then supercharge it. It will only last 200 miles but it will be glorious.

That'll be 200 miles of self-actualization. The peak of life.

If someone donates a BRZ chassis I'll donate a fresh 70k mile N52 (not really).

That would be a perfect mix. I'd imagine it would, it's not a huge engine.

I need to do this to my n52.

Just kidding, I'll probably just end up with a PE.

The peak of life is a lightweight NA I6 with a supercharger that no one likes because it doesn't have torque? I knew it! I am the chosen one!

Every time I see stuff like this I remember how badly I need to build the M52 in my E36.

Saracen > PS9 08/28/2014 at 15:58

considering a flat four barely fits in a BRZ...I strongly doubt that a straight six would fit.

PS9 > Saracen 08/28/2014 at 16:01

But 2JZs have already been swapped in before. The N52 can't be much bigger than that, plus it doesn't have any turbos attached to it.

Well, that's rather surprising.

Not something I'd personally want to do though..

(worth it)

But I think this guy is going to be sad once the ESS kit comes out for $5k and allows for 400 HP with basic breathing mods and the same characteristics. You should look into that if you're interested in more power!

Ahh I'm still waiting on that! I don't plan on supercharging my car, but if I can find a RWD 6MT wagon on the other hand...

I love it! The best way to get more power out of your N52 race car is to throw away all the engine management BS and fancy useless variable intake manifold and bold up the old E36 parts!

Let me help you out...

Its just so pretty, it makes all this new fangled plastic crap from BMW look like ass.
