BMW E36 with a 2.3 L EcoBoost on the Dyno

Brian Wilkerson’s BMW E36 M3 called “MA36RS” has seen changes since it went ice drifting last winter. The most obvious change is the new paint. Another area that saw a lot of work was the engine bay. Brian had swapped a turbocharged 2.3 L EcoBoost inline-four using a JEM Sport swap kit. Unfortunately that motor melted down from clogged injectors. Brian then purchased another 2.3 L EcoBoost short block and rebuilt the motor. It features EMS head studs, upgraded oil pump, Ford Ranger oil pan, Radium PCV baffle plate, Comp turbocharger, and runs on a Link Voodoo Pro ECU. Back on the dyno the motor made 307 hp (228 kW) and 355 lb-ft (481 Nm) of torque to the wheels on 23 psi of boost.
