Join us for Episode 2 of Paul's 1000bhp F82 M4 Competition build. Last time you saw the engine being removed and stripped, this episode it's engine building time. As with all of our engine builds, everything is balanced and blueprinted. This means precise measurements in so many ways from oil clearances to valve spring rates. This type of engine building...
Our second attempt at getting a video of the HE140i on track was more successful - we took it to Snetterton earlier in the year and had a complete memory card failure, but this time we've got some genuine, experienced feedback on the concept of an M140i track car for you. Ben talks you through the highs and lows of...
Join us for Episode 1 of Paul's 1000bhp F82 M4 Competition build. The engine has been removed and is torn down in this video, with a brief summary of the works that are happening with it. This isn’t your usual ‘fully forged’ or ‘built’ engine but instead is a properly thought out, balanced/blueprinted race engine for the road. A few...
Pro Tuning Freaks' latest product is their range of Flexfuel kits for BMW F platforms, including N55, S55 and B58. The B58 is the very latest to join that line up and so we got kits straight in, ready for fitting to the HE140i. This kit allows for on-the-fly ethanol fuel content monitoring, which when coupled with any BM3 CustomRom...
Building customer's dream engines is our speciality here at Hack Engineering, and when David approached us with his requests, we were very happy to help. Due to a cracked original block, he already knew that a new block was going to be required, and why not go all out to create one of the ultimate normally aspirated S65 engines? Though...
The majority of the concentration with the HE140i so far has been handling, but now its time to add some boost and make some more power. Existing spec was 'Stage 2+', and in this video we add a Littco L520 Supercore turbo, CSF Heat Exchanger, FTP Chargepipe and NGK spark plugs. The quest for 500+bhp begins! Products used can be...
It's been a while, but we're finally back onto the project Imp. We haven't been ignoring it completely, don't worry, so here's a whole host of updates! https://youtu.be/9PU4ZCOYlHM
Things are taken up a notch with the HE140i as it gets its '90s DTM-inspired Tic Tac livery thanks to Jamie at Vinyl One, along with a splitter and spoiler from R44 Performance. Luke also carries out some chassis upgrades in the form of Powerflex subframe bushing inserts and a chassis brace, ahead of track time at Snetterton (which will...
Join Ben and Luke as they transform the sound of the Hack Engineering BMW M140i, with a Scorpion turbo-back exhaust system. This car already had a Scorpion downpipe fitted as part of one of our Stage 2+ packages, and so we decided it was time to complete the setup with a Scorpion Non-Resonated Cat-Back System, complete with carbon fibre Ascari...
CHOOSE OUR WHEELS! We're about ready to get the Imp ready to roll, but need some wheels. Vote for what wheels you'd like to see on it in the comments. As well as this, the radiator is mocked up, while Ben and Luke tackle the shopping list of imperial fasteners needed to get the old girl back together. https://youtu.be/eSJazG5o9DI
