engine and drivetrain 1972 tii engine ?

[Guest Anonymous]

Hello,

Without going mad for now just want some idea`s on breathing some life into a stock E21 tii. The idea is keeping the short block in the car ( So standard tii bottom end ) and playing with everthing else? What do you reccomend?

This was what I was thinking

Twin 45 webers

Gas flowed head

Big bore exhaust

Cam

Roller rockers

Are there going to be any major gains over a 130hp injection system?

Many thanks

The tii is a very respectable and awesome car on its own. Just my opinion, but the tii is much rarer than the regular 2002. Why meddle with something that special?

Twin webers will probably get you no performance gain at all and alot more tuning headaches. You could port and polish everthing, including the ex manifold (its almost as good as a header). Maybe change the cam. I don't think anyone makes roller rockers for this engine.

I totally agree, Trust me, you don't want to drive a 2002 with dual Weber 40DCOE carbs on the street, tuning the carbs is a constant battle. Keep your tii mechanical fuel injection. If you have problems with your tii injection system, contact this list for recommendations for a shop in your area that knows how to tune a tii. Most BMW mechanics are clueless on Kugelfischer injection, it's old school to them. I've had repair shops tell me they don't work on BMW's with carbs, reason: they don't know how to work on carbs.

Appoliges , I should of stated the tii is a historic race car not for the street. Basically what I have is a concours car that had been race prepared for a very standard regulated race series. I have purchased the car and will be running in a championship thats a little more open with the regulations. My main concern at the moment is the handling but was just looking at sqeezing a little more out of the engine for now?

Depending on how much money you want to spend, there are ways to hop up a tii engine using the mechanical fuel injection

You can have the fuel curve changed to match mods to the engine ..

Wes Ingram used to list a modified pump for $650 -- which isn't much more than if you went and got new intake manifolds and carbs (maybe less!). Gracer has one on his racer and he's pretty happy with it (as of a while ago anyway)

I've been wanting to build a hot tii engine for a long time, but still haven't gathered the scratch to do it right.
