Are there any sites which cover the (135i) engine internals?
I am interested in the internals of this engine and have done some searching and found a few pages .. anyone have any direct links with more information on the 135i engine?
thanks, Crowley |

That's what I figured and was hoping to shed some light on. My consern is that from the factory it is very low boost .. that being said .. did they do this because the internals (other than the crank) are not forged or just because this is how they chose to do it .. Thanks, Crowley

Well . . . They are running fairly high compression, 10.2:1, IIRC. The higher compression and the nibbling around the edges of a stratfied charge setup (with the direct injection) may be a good reason for the fairly low boost pressures (that and to try to reduce warranty work ; -).

You make some very good points though in regards to this statement : "One is the wear on the turbos, and two... probably the most important.... is the 4.0L V8 in the M3." Thanks, Crowley
