I started poking around the FFR forum after readying about the TDI concept. I found this thread and loved the motor!
I would imagine it was an expensive build, but very cool looking finished product.

Read through the thread, and a couple more pop up. It's pretty neat.
That's some tight packaging.

I am not too sure about this one. Looks more cobbled than designed. 2 mild steel washers on the drive shaft adapter bolt without self clinching nut looks like a problem with a head start, solid mounted exhaust out of the turbo, cold sloppy welds, maintenance nightmare packaging, Sounds great and it is making makes big power (for now anyway, stock internals?). I liked the v10 e30 M3 awhile back 1000x more.

I didn't realize the M60 was an aluminum block and had forged internals.
I was under the impression it was just two M20B25s meshed together.

The piping welds look look bad. You would have thought that they would have done a nice tig weld on the polished intake since that is the first thing you see when he opens the hood.
