Just turbo it dude.
Soon all of us 320i, 323i & 325i drivers will be paying a fortune for tax.
Speak to Ant about a turbo. He's down in Kent and not far from you. I've driven some of his turbo cars and they're great.

I was meaning future tax plans and I thought it was 2 litres and above that's going to be expensive. I'll try and check.

Sounds like it's an M40 though given the description.

Id say that was a valid question, you dont seem to have a firm grasp of the english language.
Anyway, if its the car you showed in your last thread then its an m40 engine. Talk to ant, he has done a few of these (tylerma springs to mind)

They mean that your car could be the third M40 engined turbo conversion by the company A-Tech which is run by Ant who has posted here. Tylerma had the first one. CHRISP had a turbo conversion to his 1.8 M40 cabriolet recently and it is in the turbo section here
http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... ic&t=57189.
To be perfectly frank there is no financial sense in trying to gain power from a 1.6 M40 engine - it is just too small.
Swap it over with a 1.8 boosted engine and you will be have more speed and better fuel economy than you already have.
Ant currently has a 1.8 M40 engine in development for the future that will be seeing some boost and would swap straight into your car.

Fuzzy loves his cosworth.
More straight forward to drop in another already converted BMW engine though I'd say.
As to the cost of the conversion I have no idea. It will depend how you would have it set up. Best to speak to Ant for your requirements. Forget about peak brake horse power and think about toque to have a monster fast little urban car.
