Korman M10 Engines

Korman street use engines come with a 2 year/24,000 mile limited warranty

Korman Stock Rebuild-M10

Our stock rebuilds are assembled to BMW specifications by our experienced and dedicated technicians rather than off a mass production assembly line. Korman engines are assembled with meticulous craftsmanship, precise machining, and detailed blueprinting. All of our boring is done with a torque plate for exceptional bore roundness and long engine life. These hand built engines are available at prices comparable to a factory reman units which offer only 12 month/12,000 mile warranties.

Korman High Performance Clean Air Engines

 

New emissions standards may lead you to believe that traditional high performance BMW engines have been legislated away. Not so! Excellent power and acceleration gains can be realized within these constraints by improving flow and reducing the rotating and reciprocating mass of engine  components. Our Clean Air Engines are fast, reliable, and clean to help you get the most out of your BMW.

 

Stage 1 Clean Air Engine

In our Stage 1 Clean Air engines we apply our high performance techniques to extract maximum power from stock parts while making no changes that affect Federal or State emissions laws. Our flow tested porting , polishing, valve and valve seat work promote smoother, more efficient air/fuel flow keeping the mixture much better suspended for cleaner burning. Valve spring pressure is increased for a higher max rev limit of 7000 rpm. To reduce reciprocating weight and improve acceleration we lighten and balance the connecting rods, fit stronger light weight piston pins, and lighten the flywheel. Carbureted models include a Bosch Sport Coil, High Performance Ignition Wires, and Mechanical Advance Distributor. 10-15% horsepower increase according to model.

Stage 2 High Performance Clean Air Engines

These engines receive our Stage 2 competition-type engine treatment for maximum performance while still meeting emissions standards. Porting and polishing are more extensive than our Stage 1, valves and seats are re-cut for improved flow, and all valves are swirl polished. For increased high RPM strength we add dual valve springs, titanium valve spring retainers, and our Korman Rocker Arms. Instead of reworked stock rods, we install our light weight chrome steel alloy connecting rods for a very substantial reduction in reciprocating weight. Lightweight piston pins are included, and the steel flywheel is lightened or replaced with our aluminum flywheel. We recommend our light weight heavy duty Sachs Sport Pressure Plate and matching disc as appropriate add-on items. We include our competition type oil system modifications for improved engine lubrication. Carbureted models receive a Bosch High Performance Coil and Mechanical Advance Distributor. Thermal barrier exhaust coating is also included.

Stage 1 Carbureted Engine

A moderate increase in compression ratio, special valve work, mechanical advance distributor, Bosch Sport Coil, and Korman-Stahl headers combine to extract about 12% increase in power over the stock engine. The stock cam is used resulting in a very fuel efficient, quick engine. Expect about 112HP with the Weber 32/36 conversion.

Korman Competition Engines

These engines are not designed or intended for use on public highways. They do not meet requirements of the Clean Air Act of 1991 or of the California Air Resources Board. They are offered for track use only.

 

Stage 2 Competition Engines

This is our most popular M10 performance engine. Lots of torque, smooth idle, rapid acceleration to 7000 RPM. This is a solid 150HP engine, yet when driven with a light foot can get up to 30 mpg. This engine utilizes dual Weber 40 DCOE's with Korman's 1 piece balance port intake manifold, Korman K-300 Camshaft, Bosch Mechanical Advance Distributor, Korman-Stahl Header, Dual Valve Springs, Chrome Alloy valve spring retainers, and Korman Rocker Arms. Connecting rods are lightened and balanced, cylinder heads are fully ported and polished. The engine is completely balanced and blueprinted. All boring is done with a torque plate for best cylinder roundness. Substituting the Schrick 292 cam yields an additional 10 horsepower.                                                                                                         P/N 11002200

Stage 3 2.0L Competition Engine

  Our hot autocross/rally engine. This is a light competition engine built for power. Don't expect 150,000 miles at 7500RPM, but it is designed to operate at that engine speed. This 170 HP engine includes the Schrick 316 cam, two twin 45 DCOE Webers, lightweight connecting rods, high compression pistons, titanium valve spring retainers, racing headers, etc. Blueprinted and balanced to competition specifications.     

 P/N 11002300

 

  

Korman M10 2.2 Liter Engines

This capacity is available in our otherwise stock spec motor, Stage 1, 2, 3, or Full Race Spec Motor.

The special crankshaft requires a different timing chain/oil pump/crank sprocket, a different front vibration damper/pulley, improved front hub assembly, custom light weight forged pistons with light weight pins, custom length competition connecting rods, special machining to the front timing cover, and machining of the block for clearance of the longer stroke assembly.

  

Weber carb jetting and choke size must be changed to handle the increased power.  Our Webers are sold with jets and chokes fitted to your engine specs so there is no additional cost for this change.

 

It is characteristic of the dynamics of increasing stroke that there will be frictional and inertia losses at high rpm resulting in a top end increase of only 5-7%, but producing and impressive 20% or more increase in bottom end torque.  The great advantage here is a very substantial increase in acceleration without having to work the engine hard with high revs.  Smooth, strong response is coupled with increased durability.

Schrick 284 Cam For 4 Cylinder Engines

This is Schrick’s high torque street performance cam. It gives a strong bottom end response and continues making steady power through the full rev range. It do not require cutting for piston-valve clearance.

 

Schrick 292 Cam for 4 Cylinder Engines

Our favorite all around performance cam. A strong step up from the 284. With our competition Stage 2 modifications, it will produce about 160 H.P. It does not require cutting for piston to valve clearance. Works with side draft or downdraft carburetion.

 

Schrick 304 Cam for 4 Cylinder Engines

Considerably more power at top end than the 292 cam, these are the strongest practical autocross, rally, driving school type cams. These are more sophisticated cams and obtain some of their extra power from more aggressive angles between the lobes. Additional piston/valve clearance must be cut. Use with 40 or 45 mm side draft carbs. The use of our offset cam gear listed below is highly recommended. This cam uses a standard journal diameter. A small groove must be milled by hand into the center bore.

 

Schrick 316 Cam for 4 Cylinder Engines

A semi-race cam for club competition on-track events. Nearly full racing performance but without sacrificing valve train reliability and life. Use with 45 DCOE Webers and large diameter headers. The big lobes require boring the cam journals in the cylinder head. (Korman can provide this service

for you) This cam provides oil directly, the cam oiling tube is not needed.  Additional piston/valve clearance must be cut.

 

Schrick Race Cams

For fully prepared race motors only. Many engine modifications and high compression ratio required. The 336 is for those who want to win! The 328 has a wider power band and makes a good pro rally or endurance engine type cam. Both are asymmetrical, the intake lobes have more duration and lift than the exhaust  lobes. You will need our offset adjustable cam gear to set the cam timing. We won an SCCA GT2  Campionship with the 336 cam and 50 DCOE Webers making 230  HP. There is no stronger cam made anywhere for the M10 motor.

 

Korman Reground Camshafts

Our reground cams have proven to be quick and reliable for over 150,000 miles. We use only moderate profiles to avoid the steep ramps and greater wear associated with more radical designs. They are machined on precision computer driven cam lathes, hardened, heat treated, and coated. Reasonably priced, sold on an exchange basis.

 

Korman K300 Camshaft For 4 Cylinder Engines

As used in our Stage 2 engine. Idles smoothly, will pull strongly through 7200 rpm. Capable of up to 150 H.P. in four cylinder engines.

Other Higher Performance Engine Parts

 

Aerospace Quality Hardware

BMW uses stretch bolts for clamping the cylinder head to the block.  But for modified high performance engines, stronger fasteners may be needed We recommend these aerospace quality head studs instead of stretch bolts. They have a guaranteed tensile strength of 190,000 PSI and can be used over and over. Stretch bolts must be replaced, they cannot be re-used. Our kits include precision ground hardened washers and 12 point aircraft nuts to distribute the load evenly. This helps to keep the cylinders more round, improving piston ring seal, compression, and power. We also have replacement stud kits for the s-t-r-e-t-c-h bolts used for the main bearing caps.

Korman suspension systems have been developed with one primary objective: SUPERIOR HANDLING. A secondary and important consideration was to keep prices as reasonable as possible without sacrificing performance and quality.

 

We have combined  years of BMW race, rally, autocross, and highway experience with the latest technological advances available today from manufacturers of suspension components. We have focused on suspensions as a complete system. Some parts of the system, the basic geometry, mounting points, weight distribution, and the like, cannot be modified in any practical way on most street cars. The components we can readily change are the shock absorbers, anti-sway bars, and springs and some bushings. Improving any one of these can definitely enhance handling but truly superior performance can only be achieved by the installation of a complete suspension package.

 

At Korman Autoworks each component has been selected, developed, and tested for its capability to perform its own function, and also for its capability to work with the other components. The selection of these technically advanced components combined with the road and track testing of the complete systems is what makes Korman suspension systems unbeatable.

 

Korman Suspension Systems

 

For maximum versatility and to fit your driving needs, we have developed four types of suspension systems for the 2002: ROADSPORT, CLUBSPORT, and TRACKSPORT, and full RACE systems. Each is described in detail below.

 

Korman 2002 Roadsport Suspension

For all around street/highway use. Designed to be comfortable yet firmly controlled for everyday commuting and provide very substantially improved handling for winding roads and weekend club events. The Roadsport is our biggest selling kit.

Includes:

     4 stronger 1/2" lower springs*

     4 Bilstein HD Shock Absorbers

     1 set 22/19 swaybars, with mounting hardware and polyurethane bushings                

 P/N 31102002H1

 

Korman Clubsport Suspension

Still acceptable for street/highway use, this package focuses more strongly on “club” event handling.  Bilstein Sport shocks are matched with stronger springs that lower the car 1.5 inches.  Best performance will require rear camber adjustment.                                                                        

P/N 31102002H2

 

Korman 2002 Tracksport Suspension

Includes considerably stronger springs and shocks (Bilstein Sports) than our Roadsport suspension. For the more competitive enthusiast who is willing to accept a much stiffer ride on the street to obtain a winning edge at club events. We include our front upper and lower decamber plates to modify the front suspension geometry. We modify your rear subframe (must be shipped to us) for camber & toe adjustment. Suspension Package Includes:

     4 stronger 1.5" lower springs

     4 Bilstein Sport Shocks

     1 set 22/19 swaybars, adjustable (rear)

     1 pair lower camber correction plates

     1 pair upper decamber plates

     1 Modified Subframe ( Adjustable Camber & Toe)                                                 

P/N 31102002H1S

 

Korman 2002 Race Suspension

Our customers have broken lap records in SCCA ITB with this package. Designed for the driver who is determined to win at club events. Superb handling, neutral controlled drifts under hard throttle, faultless tracking through chicanes and slaloms, forgiving and quick to recover from excesses. Brings out the best in you and your 2002. This is an advanced, adjustable racing system with custom valved front shocks, threaded adjustable front struts, adjustable front camber assembly with solid spherical bearings, lower decamber plates, rear custom valved shocks, and rear race springs.

 

The basic race suspension problem for the 2002 is that when lowered to minimum legal ride height there is insufficient stroke length and all standard aftermarket shocks will bottom out. In addition to damaging shocks and other parts, the bottoming out causes the car to break traction. Our front strut units and rear shocks are both about 1 1/4" shorter to eliminate this problem. Front springs are lightweight 2 1/4" precision wound racing springs. Rears mount in the stock location and are high tech progressive rate springs from Germany, designed to eliminate the typical rear end squat under acceleration.                                                                                                                                                                 

P/N 31102002C

Suspension components listed in the above packages are also available separately

 

 

strut_brace_2002.JPG (150893 bytes)Strut Braces

Compensate for the additional chassis loading of bigger wheels and tires, stronger suspension components, and added horsepower. Our upper stress bars bolt across the upper shock mounts. 2002's are prone to breaking welds at the radiator bulkhead, making a front strut brace mandatory for enthusiastic driving or modified cars.  Eccentric bolt allows for variations in chassis dimensions.

Steel stress bar with built in battery tray. Kit includes brace, battery mount, battery cable and hardware. Can be used as a strut brace only.             P/N 335252002

 

Adjustable Camber Plate Assembly

For competition, not recommended for normal street use. A spherical bearing mounted in a sliding housing on a slotted T6 aluminum base plate provides full camber adjustability and can be pivoted in mounting to strut tower to improve caster angle. Some strut tower cross braces may restrict full adjustment. Simply the best set-up for very serious autocrossing and racing.                   

P/N 31001875

 

Upper Decamber Plates for BMW 1600/2002

P/N 33203567 (camber or toe only, x 2 for both)

 

 

Suspension Bushings

 

Polyurethane Suspension Bushing Kit

Urethane suspension bushings are harder than the OEM rubber bushings, but do not transmit shock like the solid Delrin bushings do. Suspension deflection is minimized, providing much more precise handling. Kit includes front lateral link bushings, front lower control arm bushings, rear trailing arm bushings, and differential mount bushings.                                                                                                            P/N 311202002P

Offset Rear Trailing Arm Bushings

These heavy-duty trailing arm bushings are made offset. They can be used to make very small camber corrections in the rear trailing arm angles but with their limited range of offset they are designed primarily for making toe adjustments to the rear wheels. Fits all 1600, 2002.                           P/N 332202203

 

Korman High Performance Brake Rotors

Available either in a computer crossdrilled version with the holes chamferred to the wear limit or in a computer cut gas slotted version with the gas ports milled to the wear limit. While nothing beats the appearance of the crossdrilled rotors, we suggest using the gas slotted versions for true high performance and track use due to its superior wear rates and brake cooling.

Korman High Performance Brake Pads

Developed for use in our IMSA cars. Good enough to win both the drivers and the manufacturers IMSA Sport Class Endurance Championships. The pad material is a non-asbestos graphite/metallic formulation. Unlike some racing materials that work well only when hot, the broad friction coefficient of these pads enable them to work well under cool, light braking conditions. They are therefore the ideal pad for dual-purpose street/club event usage. Sold on an exchange basis. We need your old backing plates in good condition as a core.                                                                                1600, 1800, 2002 (69 >) P/N KDB35

Weber Carburetor Conversion Kits

In design, performance, and reliability, Weber Carburetors are world renowned. Korman Autoworks offers a complete line of Weber conversion kits for BMW's. All of our Weber kits have received extensive engine dyno development and testing by Ray Korman. This is backed up by many miles of street and track testing. Our Weber kits are sold with the correct chokes and jets for your engine and tailored to your driving requirements.

 

Sometimes we hear rumors that Weber carburetors are difficult to tune and maintain. This is a misconception caused by improper installations or bad tuning. Unfortunately many Webers are sold for BMW applications that are not correctly jetted or have the wrong choke sizes, and often are not even the correct model Weber for the engine intended. Poor throttle linkage can cause many problems and in most cases we provide linkage of our own design. A correct Weber installation will provide smooth running at all rpm, will be easy to tune, will not require frequent readjustments, and will get good fuel economy.

Weber Downdraft Conversion For 2002

Replaces the troublesome stock Solex two-barrel carburetor. Brings a smoothness and crispness of response that your 2002 never had before. This carburetor bolts directly to the stock '73 - '76 manifold and works well with standard or automatic transmissions. The Solex vacuum operated secondary opens slowly. The Weber secondary throttle area is 6% greater and the mechanical linkage opens the secondary throttle immediately on full throttle providing much quicker acceleration. The linkage is progressive so on part throttle cruising only the primary is operating, yielding excellent fuel economy. Includes carburetor, base gasket, air cleaner, and sheathed choke cable. Detailed instructions included.

The Webers work best when combined with the mechanical advance distributor and Stahl headers. This combination will produce a full 20% H.P. increase, as tested on our engine dyno. With our Stage 2 modifications the Webers deliver 150 to 160 H.P., depending on compression ratio and camshaft. The Webers are very efficient carburetors and customers report up to 30 mpg on highway driving.

Exhaust Headers

Throughout our many years of dyno testing, STAHL headers have always made the best power gains. These headers will produce a 6 to 10% increase in power on stock engines and much more on high performance engines. On stock engine customers have reported over 5% improvement in gas mileage. All Stahl headers have good sealing connections and will not noticeably increase underhood engine noise. All units will adequately clear air conditioner units except race headers.

 

Stahl Headers

The size in inches refers to the primary tube diameter. All come with standard diameter collectors with ends or flanges that bolt directly to original or standard aftermarket exhaust systems. Competition headers with larger collectors come with straight pipe ends and no connecting flange. Stahl headers are finished in aluminum color heat resistant paint. For a more permanent finish see High Performance coatings below.

Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating

From aerospace technology comes this oven baked metallic/ceramic finish that is far superior to ordinary header paints. In salt spray testing where high temperature paints lasted 40 to 50 hours, the ceramic coating lasted over 5,000 hours. The ceramic thermal barrier finish also coats the inside of the pipe. The thermal barrier will reduce underhood temperatures and testing has shown horsepower gains due to combustion chamber stabilization and increased gas velocity.                                                 P/N 182110014

Special Clutch Parts

Modified engines and wider tires place an increased load on clutch components. Heavier duty assemblies are recommended. BMW 2002’s used a 228 mm clutch until 1974 when a smaller 215 mm clutch became standard. These models especially need stronger clutches. We use only new Sachs clutch parts – no rebuilt units. Sachs manufactures the original equipment clutches for BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, etc. Note: for later models with 215mm clutch components, you must convert to a 228mm flywheel to utilize the heavy duty clutch components

Heavy Duty Light Weight Pressure Plates

The center plate, normally cast iron, is replaced with a hardened aluminum plate with a bonded friction surface. The reduced inertia forces enable quicker acceleration. The heavy-duty springs prevent slippage under increased torque loads. Unbeatable when combined with our Lightweight or Aluminum Flywheels.

Transmissions

 

Our standard gearbox rebuilding includes complete disassembly, thorough cleaning, and close inspection of all parts. We replace the synchro rings, bearings, seals and gaskets with original BMW parts. Other worn parts are replaced as needed at additional cost. The transmission is blueprinted, shimmed, torqued and pre-loaded precisely to BMW specifications using the correct BMW special tools for each task.

We have read that BMW gearboxes have inherent weaknesses in bearings and synchros. In over 39 years of experience with BMW gearboxes, we can not agree with that opinion. We typically race all season with the same stock BMW gearbox and usually only change the synchros during between season winter rebuilds. We race several seasons on the bearings some claim are weak, and with engines double the original horsepower!

 

Korman offers rebuilds warranted for 2 years/24,000 miles for all BMW transmissions, from the old BMW Porsche-type synchronizer gearboxes to the newest M3. And, you'll be surprised how much you can save over a factory reman unit!

BMW Five Speed Overdrive Gearbox Conversion Kits

These complete kits allow you to install a later model five-speed overdrive gearbox into your early model four-speed BMW. The first four gears are nearly identical ratios as your original four-speed. Fifth gear drops engine speed 20% for improved highway fuel mileage, less engine wear, and less noise.

 

Our kit includes a BMW remanufactured five-speed gearbox and necessary shift linkage, shift support, and shifter bushings. The price includes the cost of shortening and re-balancing your present driveshaft, which you must ship it to us. If your original driveshaft is not useable, we will furnish a new driveshaft at additional cost.

Five Speed Close Ratio Gearboxes

Close ratio gearboxes are designed primarily for competition usage. First gear is geared higher than in a standard four speed or overdrive five speed transmission. Fifth gear in a close-ratio box is the same (1:1) as fourth in a four speed or overdrive five speed. The closeness of the ratios requires much more shifting but keeps the engine rpm up in the peak torque ranges for maximum acceleration.            

P/N 2323120025

 

Prices are for exchange gearboxes. We can accept your rebuildable 4-speed in exchange.

Differentials

 

Differentials with normal wear do not usually require replacement of the ring and pinion gears. Our standard rebuilding includes complete disassembly, thorough cleaning, close inspection of all parts, replacement of all bearings, seals, gaskets, crush sleeve, and lock ring. Our rebuilding includes meticulous attention to correct gear lash, gear contact patterns, precise pre-load of bearings and exact torque specifications. We provide a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty with our rebuilds, but expect them to last well over 100,000 miles.

 

If you have a limited slip differential, we can also refurbish the limited slip carrier while rebuilding your differential (additional charges apply). As BMW limited slip units wear, the percentage of lock (25%, 40%, etc.) gradually drops off. We can restore your limited slip assembly to original lock, or increase it to 75% for performance applications. The reduction in slippage will lower your differential lubricant and bearing temperatures as well as your lap times!

 

If you want to change your differential gearing or add a Quaife unit, combining these operations with a rebuild saves you both time and money.

Optional Ratio Differential Gear Sets

"My first BMW, a 1964 1800 TISA four door sedan regularly beat the performance sport cars of its day in autocrosses: E-Jaguars, Lotus Elans, Corvettes, MG Twin Cams, Porsche Super 90's, and more than a few 911's! Along with very minor engine changes, a good suspension package, wider wheels and tires, and a close ratio gearbox, my most effective                       "speed secret" was the change to a 4.75 gear set!"

 

Ray Korman

 

 

Racing Teams use different gear ratios to suit the characteristics of each track and obtain maximum acceleration. Successful autocrossers know the advantages of a quicker ratio, but as a street/highway performance option it is often overlooked. This may be because it seems more difficult than

changing computer chips or adding a suspension package. Also, many local shops and even dealers lack the special tools and expertise to rebuild and change gear sets in BMW differentials. With our racing experience we are very proficient with BMW differentials and we have the special tools needed to make modifications correctly. UPS and other carriers have increased their weight limits and can now pickup and deliver your differential at your front door. The usual diff removal or installation time for most BMW's is 1.5 hours.

 

Changing to a quicker ratio provides faster acceleration in all gears at all rpm's. It does not affect engine emissions or idle speed and can make up for changes in tire diameter. Some BMW models were originally geared very long for increased fuel mileage. These cars benefit the most from quicker ratios. Generally, longer ratios yield better fuel mileage and shorter ratios offer more acceleration and higher fuel consumption. In practice, the fuel difference is often slight. If you have such a long ratio you must frequently downshift to pass or accelerate quickly, then in reality you do not get the theoretically higher fuel mileage that the longer ratio would have you expect. And, if you switch to a shorter ratio for more acceleration, you may not burn much more gas than before, as you are now able to upshift more quickly into the higher gears.

 

In a similar way, you would expect that changing to a shorter ratio for more acceleration will reduce your top end speed and you would run out of revs in high gear. However, few cars have enough top end torque to pull full revs in high gear. Changing to a shorter ratio will usually enable the engine to pull more revs against the high speed drag resistance. Though you will turn more revs per mile, your actual top end speed may be as good or better than before, especially if you have added some additional performance improvements.

 

The following formula will enable you to calculate your possibilities, but keep in mind actual results will vary. Drag, rolling resistance, tire characteristics, spoiler packages and engine modifications all affect acceleration and achievable top end speed. And don't forget road conditions, speed limits, and radar! It is usually more practical to gear for greater acceleration than higher top end speed. You can enjoy it more often with fewer penalties.

 

 MPH=  (RPM)(TIRE DIAMETER) in inches

                (GEAR RATIO)(336)

 

Korman recommends a +/- 9% gear ratio change for most street driven cars. To obtain a percentage change, divide your original gear set ratio by your proposed new gear set. The resulting percentage also equals your RPM change at a given speed.

Lightweight Fiberglass Parts

Fiberglass provides several advantages: light weight for quicker acceleration and cornering, special shapes for customized appearance, and no rust. Our fiberglass is hand laid and carefully reinforced for stiffness. It is finished in a smooth gelcoat and ready to wet sand and paint.

 The Alpina Style Flares present a smooth rounded appearance. The Schnitzer Style is more angular and similar in appearance to the E30 M3 factory fender flares. Both types are wider, allowing the installation of larger tires and wheels. Depending on offset, a rim width of 7.5" to 8.0" is possible with the Alpina Style Flares, and an 8.5"-9.0" rim width is possible with the Schnitzer Style Flares. Our fiberglass hoods and trunk lids are lightweight "skins" which must be pinned in place (no provision for hinges/latches). Depressions for BMW emblems molded in. All components are available in high strength kevlar at additional cost.
