probably far too small, considering the CC size of the mini engine.
325i Tech 1 Touring, breaking.
2.5 high comp. M20, 3.64 LSD, Fully undersealed, Spax springs & Bilstein shocks, s/s exhaust, Alpina rep wheels and more.

Bit on the small side for a 2.5 in my opinion its abit small for the m42 realy if you want good gains, to create any decent boost the charge temps go very high then you've got mess about trying to cool it down, so you cant go with the manifold mount bracket easy.
Better to look for an m90 an run it slower.

You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

on a standard engine with just the charger bolts on and nothing else at all it ran 235 bhp ,i think with extra fuel.chip.intercooler a nd maybe a smaller puller easy 300 bhp could have been done,the only other thing i had to do is change the head boltsinitial_g wrote:dips that e30 is stunning m8, woow!
