My Fake E21 Alpina "C1 Turbo" tribute car!

Post by Sierpien »

Hello guys! some time not posting anything about my car!.

As published on older posts of this forum, my car started his life as a 1980 E21 316, with a 1600cc M10.

When a was 20 years old(now i´m 35), i made a full restoration of the car to original state, (it was in very bad shape), and slowly, started to modify it.

As usually, you always want more power, so i swapped the M10 with an M42, then as that wasn´t enough, i turbo charged it!

I know i´ts not an Alpina, but i really like the Alpina looks, so i made my own version of a dream E21.

I also made some custom "C1 Turbo" fake emblems.

Some specs of the car:

Engine:

M42 B18 stock Engine.
Hybrid M42/M10 Getrag 240 with mechanical speedo output.
Full UUC Motorwerks short shifter Kit
Dbilas Dynamic Intake
Custom turbo exhaust manifold
Genuine Tial Blow off valve
Genuine Tial MV-R waste gate.
E30 320i Radiator
Siemens Deka 44lbs injectors.
AEM fuel pressure regulator.
16" Spal Fan cooler.
Custom front axle carrier.
Full stainless steel exhaust.
Fueltech Ft400 standalone ECU
Coil on Plug conversion with Bavarian Autosport Red coils.
And a Turbocharger!

Front & Rear Axle

BMW 323i rear and front axle.
H&R springs
Bilstein sport shocks.
Urethane Bushings (soon to be replaced with something else)
Hartge front sway Bars
Custom Rear sway bar.
Front Alpina reinforcement.

Exterior & Interior cosmetics.

E21 Recaro Seats upholstered in original black trim.
US spec door cards.
Alpina Steering Wheel and Gearknob.
VDO gauges.
Original Alpina Front spoiler
Zender rear spoiler.
Custom "C1 Turbo" emblems
Alpina Stripes.
Hella front grille.

Hello again, I wondered if I could pick your brain a little please? I am building an M10 2.0 turbo and have beefed the engine up to take it, my worry is the transmission. I have the 245 overdrive box and I'm struggling to find any real info on what it'll handle. Would you know what it'll take or perhaps recommend any upgrades?
Thanks very much for your time.

Hello guys!

Some updates on the car, I sold my Alpina 13" rims to a guy that had an 02, and I finally bought a staggered set of Maxilite 15" rims. The difference in looks and ride quality are superb!
