engine and drivetrain Fastest 2002 I have ever encountered....

[JayKehoe]

last week, a light blue/square light-small bumper 02 ran at Laguna Seca during the BMWCCA-GGC 1 day school.It was an absolute rocket! It runs a Gen II, twin turbo Rotary engine, with custom radiator, etc. A huge central exhaust spit huge flames as this monster became nearly airborne when upshifting on the strights.The chief steward marvelled at the "take-off" at start'finish diring late passes. The owner told me he still had another 200 HSP, untapped, but available, through more useable boost. The car amazed everyone in the paddock with its power. It has a welded roll bar, and it looked very well sorted. I have never seen this car before, nor its owner, but it is hands-down, the quickest 02 I have seen/heard about. Considering the power to weight numbers from the rotary super plant, nothing BMW makes could equal the numbers. ( other than maybe an F2 engine that would require tear-down and rebuild all the time). Maybe it is "heresy" to run rotary power, but this car is truly a giant killer. I do not know about the rest of the drive train, or how the car manages to keep from breaking apart from all the power, but I imagine that these matters are commensurate with the well-done power plant. I would love to know more about this car. The car had to be running 250 HSP at the rear wheels to be able to accelerate so quickly at will. Man- makes a tii seem like an Isetta, lol.

Would love to know more, I bet it is closer to 400HP.

I am going to build a 20b 3 rotor periferal port next time round.

I just thought I would sound nuts to speculate that kinda power, but the demonstrated speeds it reached, so quickly, put it into the really big HSP numbers. I just do not know much about rotary/turbo power, so I chose a low number. I hope you do build a monster like that: I think you will have more fun than anyone on the track!

Love rotary motors. I remember various RX-7s spitting lots of flame at some track events I was at a few years ago.

Yes from what I understand, this thing is retarded fast and very beautifull. Thanks Byron from Baybimmerz for the pics.

I have seen this car at a track school back in the year 2002. It's good to hear the guy has it running and handling well now.

The fastest o2 I have seen is the bule 75 model from Austrailia, I have a video clip of it putting down 488 hp to the wheels. the engine spec is .... 2.1 m10 e30 m3 throttle bodys and intake plenum. turbo of uknown manufacture, intercooler, aftermarket engine managment, 30psi boost and lots of dyno tunning..

I would have loved to had seen that!

Well, you could call it a 1302. But if you're too lazy to change the emblem, then you might as well put in a 3-rotor, and then it'll still be a 2002.

Very nice looking car - would love to see a shot of under the hood if someone could grab one next time they see it.

A while back I had an idea of doing a rotary swap as I posted it on other BMW related forums. Most of the people put me down and told me to buy an RX7.

Now I can only say- in your face bitches!

There was a Finnish (sorry if I'm worng) 1502 featured in an Aussie movie called Serious Performance 7 about 3 years ago. The owner recently posted on here with a link to the video...

I assume this is the one you are talking about. The car is featured on the dyno and it has M stripes across the rocker cover and stripped out interior... it then goes and shows it doing burnouts with a yellow Ford Escort.

thanks Harry. Hows the surf been in PR? mmmwishingwells...

[HarryPR]

Ocean conditions, especially on the north coast, have been great for surfing, with 8 to 10 feet seas.

There was a big tournament in Rincon last weekend.
