i have a 316i and when i got my car it had a spare manifold in the boot i have my own welder (and i ant 2 bad with it) and a spare turbo unit in the shed now there no harm in trying right??? lol has it been done before on a 4 pot? please feel free to roll around on the floor laughing at this post

Nothing wrong with turboing a 316i you will maybe see 90mph on a windy day Oj
Dont you need more than a turbo n manifold tho?
Its been done before

if i do it ill do it the cheep way! decom plate 5 injector ect

If only it was as easy as that

Yer mate you need intercooler turbo timer and a whole leap of othershit.
I was thinking of supercharging mine in the future mate get the car looking its best get all the sounds and stuff to your liking learn to drift then worry about power coz if you can drift a 316i with eas you can drift anything

iv got a intercooler some pipe work i have the oil feed and drain you dont need a turbo timer and can use standed management if you use a 5th injector and run low boost its when you want big power you need lots of £££ i turboed a axgti last year and its still going strong. i think i can do it

Yer ino but if i did it i would wont one.
Whats the thing that my mate had he turned his car off but like it still run for a while to cool de turbo down

thats a turbo timer its just a fancey bit of kit the jap boys use you dont need one it just saves you sitting in the car after a blast waiting for the turbo to winde down

yer mi mate had one and he had a digi turbo gauge thing he with low medium and overboost on it .
Looked good tho you get out and the cars still there purring while you walk away

I turbo'd my M40 http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=133634

so a chopped 6 pot manifold has the same stud pattern as a 4 pot?

Who said that?

no one said it mate just trying to work out the best manifold to use

Make your own using stainless weld els from somewhere like BSS.

I like your style Matt lol, even if it is a bit simplistic .


I don't know anything about turbos. I do look forward to seeing what ever you come up with.
