The 1500 HP BMW turbo engine that won the World Driving championship in 1983 for Brabham was built on a production engine block taken out of a BMW E21 3-series. The builders actually chose used engine blocks because day-to-day usage relieved the stress arising from the casting process that would have been been a reliability risk if they used brand-new engine blocks.
