Will this turbo work on an M10?

I have to disagree- I think that thing would CAUSE the next tornado....

no, of course it won't. What diesel earth- mover's it from, anyway?

I don't see why not . . . ;p

Just give me a long enough staging time before a drag race and I'll have that turbo making oodles of power from an m10... Might require welding the head to the block though . . .

I have heard of turbo lag time that could be measured with a Sun Dial but that would be more like a calendar. With the stock 2002 fuel tank I'm guessing you will run out of fuel waiting for it to spool up!

It's on a 1.5 Megawatt generator's V16 Caterpillar diesel. The engine and generator are about the size of an 02, not to mention the muffler, which dwarfs my refrigerator.

My dad took me to see those running at his hospital when I was about 8 years old, they have 3 and are contemplating getting a fourth. They're so very cool and loud and big, and one of those things I want just to have, like a Chrysler Hemi air-raid siren :)

Hahaha thanks for making my day. It will definitively lower your ride height too in the front so it's dual purpose.

I'm no longer affiliated with Maximillian Importing Company in any way, please address any questions directly to them.  -Thanks.

We've done a couple of of locomotives for bombardier and they are HUGE. A 44oz big gulp will fit in the compressor outlet.

I work where those are built in Lafayette Indiana. If that is a V16 it has 69l of displacement. We make them up to 339l of displacement. For the big boys you need a ladder to change the spark plugs (on a gas version).

76 '02 owned 20 years.....project for the last 13. I should probably be faster than the rust I'm chasing.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
