aah just some old piss...........hehe, no it's the worlds most potent engine cleaner

As some of you might remember I am building a turbo B20, I was gonna go with a T3 but decided on a T2.8 instead. Planning on boosting .5 -.6 bar
here's a pic

any questions/suggestions welcome

damn neat work desk you got there sir

I'm in Holland and we do have e30 diesels here. tell me if you need a manifold from a 324 td I can have a look for you and maybe sort it out with the seller :wink: thought it might come in handy for someone, so I just thought I should post this :D ja meneer ek sal enetjie neem dankie :) Can you sti...

Keep us posted!

Yeah sure, yeah it's around 130, 148KW(200hp) would cook rather nicely in a E30, secretly I want 220hp but hehehe, I'l keep that a secret

well I'l be buying a Garret T28 somewhere this month, when I got all the stuff I'l put up some pics, I am looking for around 200hp @ 0.6 bar + Intercooled , realistic? And I'l sell my 6 branch and have a tubalar turbo mani made up, high polished silver

the water idea is great, but isn't the exact air to water ratio gonna eb difficult to set, or is this a trial and error thang?? Did i not see fozzy at GSF on sat morning fitting a battery to his turbo'd E30???? I was chatting to ya bout the stand alone ECU setup... Just have sprinklers piss water a...

I will be building a custom water mist squirter thingy wich I can activate from inside the car via a flipswitch, water isn't most effecient,but I get it out of the tap, so it works for me 8) ....mmmmm, maybe I can modify a fridge kinda thingy to keep the water ice cold, or a inlet from the dash wher...

Also can anyone estimate a power figure on .6 bar on the M20B20, intercooled, and for shitss and giggles .8 bar

I can get a brand new T28 for a pretty neat pricve right now, if it's not already bought, otherwise I'l go for T3, they are plentyfull, anyone elses opinion on T28?

thanks for the replies guys, any input from the 320i club "731" I believe?
Any other input ?
btw, picking up my intercooler tommorow

for the 2 litre a stock sierra cossie spec T3 will be perfect, I have a T3 hybrid on mine with slightly oversized turbine and compressor wheels , spools at around 1.8K rpms and full boost from 2.2K onwards, maintains the set boost right through the rev range too HTH You have a turbocharged M20B20? ...

ok first of all, no I am not going M20B25, I verywell realise this to be a superior motor for making shit loads of power, but I have a M20B20 wich I will rebuilt, and I dont wanna break the bank on this one to much, I am going to use a stock head gasket, some metric blues and keep the CR std, I will...

harrrrrr

essbee 145hp, got any numbers on that 1/4, 0-62mph, ?

thanks for the update Gunni, I'd also like to see a dynosheet hehe

I stay in Cape Town, watching DSTV, which is like your guys Skynet satelite (or sum thing like that) ne way, it was a program called 5th Gear, thery had a guy who bought and sold BMW's and he had bought a 325is Touring for 1500 pounds, then he went to a this other guy, forgot his name, who has a co...

I should really take some piccies!

Yes You should

and Lentec how is everything going?

I'l find out when he lands in 11 hours

Cool thanks man, btw my friend is left 35min ago for Holland, his brother is a chemical ingeneer over there and he is visting for 3 weeks, I'd like to visit myself

we almost speak the same language

thanks I checked it out but the subject went to turbos and there is no pics....

I am planning a supercharger and would like to see some of the setups on a M20

Much appreciated

that sucks for a 1st world...........

including your rev counter I believe........

dazleeds wrote:yeah id say your looking around 200 with them mods

like the sound of that 200bhp if only my 320can only dream of that power

You still want my supercharger ideas when I am finished? I am now looking at well over 200hp out of my 320

btw got those shoes in top pic in the UK (Leeds) hheehe

Thanks Sir's , I used trusty old engine enamel, never failed me before, cant remember the exact brand right now I just know how the cans look.....will check tommorow, still designing my supercharger setup, so I got frustrated and had to do something to the engine you guys know how it is, and baaam, ...

yeah man, I sanded that little bad boy like a little vietnamese wh*re in a sweatshop (no pun intended towards vietnemes people) did it with a wooden block and some P100 then switched to P800 water paper and upped the elbow grease, very smooooth, very shiiiiiny

it's common but such a sweet styling mod

cleaned it

baked it

done...

well those are really strong times for a 320i, the power has to be more if it is pulling those times though

Andy_magic wrote:Not bad, I'm pretty sure you could get a 333i in south africa too.

Yeah you could, we have a guy here running a turbo 333i with some killer times

WOW... that paint is so bright, that look mint... What is that power in BHP??? My neighbours are from Johannesburg, they said that everything there is cheaper than UK, except cars!!!!, they said they cannot believe how cheap cars are here!! Good work mate keep it up! 180 BHP at the wheels, yip cars...

Hey Rowen, DOnnie here from the other forum, best E30 forum I have found to thus far, enjoy
