[Stevin]

South African 325iS Turbo as Tested by Car Magazine... not sure if it's been posted by Rowen b4.

WOW!

whats 210KW in 'real power'? (BHP )

[M5pilot]

Check out the length of the inlet from the AFM! Goes all the way round the engine bay.

I think newer turbo conversions work alot better. Well they would to be honest, better technoology out there now.

Still, very impressive!

[Ant]

3.73:1 diff eh.

glad I went for the 3.64 then

nice article, cheers for posting that dude, best colour too

WOW!

whats 210KW in 'real power'? (BHP )

its about 283bhp
just imagine if that was at the wheels

[Zayyan]

That looks a bit fun

Looks like someone's put a big scratch down the side in the first pic though

*new tyres please*

and again

knew it was fast cos a 4.5 cerbera does a standing k in about 21secs and that does a standing k in about 26 (if i can read right)

the front bumper doesnt look that great either!

[jamesroools]

just noticed it also has about 300lb/ft of torque!

[nav786]

awesome, some serious power there

[Karan]

wow sweet car.....

[Karan]

just realised it does 'only' 6.4 secs to 62mph....sounds very conservative to me.... cos even my car does that with a mere 200hp.....i reckon this turbo beast would get into the 5s easily////

[jonb]

times the kw"S by 1.33, then you get your bhp output.(i learnt that from when i stayed in australia)

320touring, you cant compare this car to a 4.5 cerbera. you mentioned the standing kilometre time. but a 5 second difference is a big difference.

[Karan]

yeh 5 secs is a long time.... 1secong over a 1/4 is fookin long too...

[Karan]

a rado or golf vr6 would waste a stock 325 though i reckon,.....would gradulaly just pull away..... i tried to sat with a sl55 the other day....nboy was that embarassing LOL

SL55 is that not a mobile phone made by Siemens ?? ! ! !

[Zayyan]

Yeah it was an embarrassing 'phone to use

If you really don't know what an SL55 is it's a 5.5 litre Merc....

sorry im a bit pi55ed....LOL

[Chaos]

pi55ed is good m8

[astondg]

I was wondering about the performance figures too, even the 100-120 times aren't that much better than standard (considering the performance increase) and I don't think the standing km time is any better (maybe even worse) than a 3L E36 M3 which has about the same power, less torque, and more weight. The standing km shouldn't involve the driver's ability so much either.

Maybe they are just guesses?

Still looks good though. I think the mark on the door is the reflection of the painted line on the road, although looking at the front bumber maybe not?

Cheers Stevin, could you send some pics of Evo II's to cilkwurm (at) hotmail dot com? (250mb account, so space isn't an issue)

I've just bought a silver one in NZ.

The Evo I's got the alu panels, and the Evo II's didn't, correct?

[Stevin]

Correct, the Evo1's had the Aluminium panels... I think they saved 20kg.

On the front of the car, thats a sticker that says Apline Developments (the company that Turboed the car) . Then it looksl ike it is scratched on the bottom of the spoiler, thats a Splitter, that extended back to help cure the over steer problem.

Rumour has it that these cars were factory backed... but I can't seem to find any info about this.

If u go to www.dtmproductions.net and go to the feature cars, there r 2 pretty hot E30's there. one's a 2.9lt 325iS Evo2, running on 18"... owned by Jughead. The other is 333i Turbo...owned by Dion... both pretty potent cars.

Also some more info, Alpine Developments is known to make turbo conversions, that don't boost more than 0.5bar... cause they say they they do conversions for ppl, who want a small increase in power, but don't want to sacrifice power

[Rowen]

thats correct, this car turbo was factory backed by bmw, therefore the power figures dont seem AS impressive, remember with the conversion, you could still keep your warranty
