Yes we build complete engines for all years of 1600, 2002, 320I, and E30 318I. Anything from a stock rebuild to a 300+ HP Turbocharged Monster.

  

All our engines are built to order. We are not a production engine rebuilder. All engines are treated as individual projects and afforded the attention needed to make then outlast and outperform any other engine available. We prefer to build the engine core that was in your car, but we will supply engines on an outright No-Core basis when the need arises.

80% of the engines we build fall into one category. Normally Aspirated ( Carb or F.I. Non-Turbo ) Performance street engines that need to run on Unleaded Pump Gas (92-93 Octane).

For those of you looking for a full on Race engine , I.T. Legal Race Engine or a Turbo Prepared engine please contact us for specific info and to discuss your needs.

After Disassembly…

All cylinder heads are pressure tested and inspected for cracks.

Since we replace everything else the inspection process is not that tough.

• Valve seats as needed
• New Rocker Shafts
• New Rocker Arms
• New Valve springs

• Reground camshaft

Cylinder Heads:

Our block and head work is done in house on top notch equipment run by a machinist that is intimately familiar with BMW engines. Not another one of these Chevy or Ford guys that has never seen one of those pesky foreign cars.

• All blocks are bored and honed with a Torque Plate.
• All blocks are surface decked for flatness.
• All con rods are Re-sized on the big ends and re-bushed on the small ends.
• All crankshafts are micropolished and the oil holes are chamfered and detailed.

• All Cylinder heads are Blanchard ground Top and Bottom with the upper timing cover in place.
• All valve jobs are 3 angle grinds.

• All Engines are dynamically balanced from front pulley to flywheel.

• All flywheels are re-surfaced.

These are the basics that go into every complete engine we build. From here we can modify the components and machine work to come up with a combination that suits your needs and budget.

Here are some examples of the common engine combinations we offer. One of these may suit you perfectly or we can do a custom package. All engines listed are built as Long Block assemblies. This means…. Valve cover to oil pan less all external accessories like intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, alternators, brackets, doo-dads, etc. All engines do include a New German water pump.

Prices listed are based on using your good core either shipped to us or brought in already removed from the car. It assumes a rebuildable engine with a non-cracked head casting. We have a full shop and can due all the engine R&R work as well. That labor is not reflected in these prices.

These engines idle great and get very reasonable fuel economy for the performance delivered. Compression ratios of 9.5:1 and our 284-288 camshaft profiles. Mild street porting on the heads and intake manifold porting on the 2 bbl cars. 91mm bore for almost 2100cc displacement gives great torque increase across the power band.

Slightly lopey idle at approx. 1000-1100 RPM. 9.8:1 compression ratio. 91mm or 92mm big bore for 2100cc + displacement. Aggressive Street Head porting. 294 to 306 camshafts. Race prep on rods and crankshaft. Heavy duty dual valve springs. Mandatory use of Ignition upgrades. Tii Distributor. MSD Ignition package. Header. High flow muffler and pre-silencers. 2.25" exhaust pipe.

This is the engine that makes it worthwhile to own an E21 320I or E30 318I. 2.0 crankshaft fitted to the 1800 block and rods with custom 92mm big bore pistons to take advantage of the 18I head and yield a 9.8:1 2100cc powerplant that makes a ton of torque and offers amazing driveability throughout the power band. Special cam profile for use with stock injection system gives good idle quality with great mid range and high RPM punch. When coupled with the stock exhaust manifold, a High-Flow Catalytic Converter and High-Flow Rear muffler, Ignition and Air filter upgrades it is no problem to make….

Addition of header negates smog laws in most areas.
